Assignment overview

The aim of this assignment is to produce a requirements document that captures the functional requirements for an information system that supports the current needs of the Virtual Child International (VCI) management system as described later in the Case Study Description.

Your tasks

Read the case carefully and if students need more detail either about the business or the assignment, they should talk to the lecturer or tutors, preferably before starting the task during the tutorial classes or go to the scheduled consultation time or email to make an appointment if necessary.

• What is the business problem you consider essential to address? You should list them and then pick up two which you consider are the most important for the business and explain why they are important. What are some of the opportunities when these problems are solved? How would the organisation be better off by solving this problem or taking up this opportunity?
