Detailed Specification
This coursework must be completed as an individual piece of work.

You must complete this assignment using the given case study – The Youth Action Case Study
Firstly, read the information given in the case study (which is attached to this coursework specification).

Then produce all of the deliverables detailed below.
Note that the case study contains a lot of information about Youth Action - read it carefully.

Note that you should NOT be referencing journals/book/websites within this coursework – your discussions should relate to what you have found in the case study and/or what you have learnt as a result of undertaking the given activities.
If you refer to information given in the case study, make sure that you reference it appropriately – don’t just copy text from the case study to support your arguments.



Deliverables
There are three sections to this coursework. Make sure that you complete all three sections.

Section A – Justifying DSDM as an appropriate development method (30%)
The consultant, Samuel Smith, has decided that the most effective way of developing an MIS for Youth Action would be to take a Rapid Application Development (RAD) approach using DSDM. However, management has raised a number of concerns about the use of this approach within his organisation and has asked you to justify your reasoning.

Based on the concerns he has raised, use the information given in the case study, and your knowledge of DSDM/RAD, to write a management summary justifying why this would be a suitable development approach to use. Mention both benefits and drawbacks and refer to examples in the case study.


Your answer to Section A should be in the region of 750-1000 words.

















Section B – High level requirements analysis and MoSCoW prioritisation (40%)
Appendix C of the case study provides details (including minutes) of a Facilitated Workshop session run by the external consultants and attended by a number of the key staff in the organisation.
At the end of the session a list of ‘high level requirements’ was produced.

This list is inappropriate as a set of requirements for developing a system as a number of the requirements do not meet our criteria for a ‘high level requirement’.

Remember a high level requirement should be a functional requirement that can be delivered to the user as part of an incremental approach using a timebox (or number of timeboxes).


Using the information given throughout the case study to help you, complete the following:
B1. Review the ‘high level requirements’ list given by various attendees during the facilitated workshop.
B1.1 Identify any of the requirements that you feel are not appropriate high level requirements, giving your reasons for this.
B1.2 Rewrite the list to include between 8-10 high level requirements that you feel are required for building the system. Briefly, justify the need for each of your high level requirements against information you have gathered from the case study.
Your answer to B1 should be in the region of 750-1000 words

B2. Use the MoSCoW rules to prioritise the requirements in your updated ‘high level requirements list’.
B2.1. Produce an updated ‘high requirements list’ clearly showing the prioritisation you have given to each of your requirements.
There isn’t a word limit for this answer.

B2.2 Explain how you set about prioritising the requirements and justify your reasons for
The decisions that you made
Your answer here should be in the region of 500 words.






















Section C – Legal, Social, Ethical and Professional issues (30%)
Samuel Smith, the consultant, also raised a number of legal, social, ethical and professional issues with management. They acknowledged those concerns but asked for further details relating to (a) the role of a Data controller and (b) the professionalism of any DSDM consultants employed for the duration of the project.

Using the information in the case study to help you, complete the following:

C1: Produce a management summary outlining the obligations of the Data Controller role within Youth Action. As a part of this, provide a practical example for each of the eight DPA principles, to illustrate a data protection issue that Youth Action may need to address.
The eight DPA principles (Fair, Specific, Adequate, Accurate, Retention, rights, Security, Transfer) have been discussed during class.
Your answer to this question should be in the region of 750 words.

C2: Produce a management summary outlining the purpose of the BCS Code of Conduct. As a part of this, provide a practical example for each of the four BCS Code of Conduct sections to illustrate a professional issue that a DSDM developer contracted to Youth Action may need to consider.
The four BCS Code of Conduct sections (Public Interest, Duty to Relevant Authority, Duty to the Profession, Professional Competence and Integrity) have been discussed during class.
Your answer to this question should be in the region of 500 words.
