Description
Read the mini case on The State Firefighters Association located in Chapter 3 of the textbook and complete the assignment.
Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
- Identify the business problems in this case.
- Determine whether to use a traditional or iterative project method (e.g., RAD and Agile) in this case and explain why or why not.
- Determine the requirements analysis strategies in this situation and explain why to choose those strategies.
- Choose the requirements-gathering techniques in this case and explain their pros and cons.
- Choose the requirements documentation techniques and explain their pros and cons.
- Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
- Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
- Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
- Compare and contrast requirements gathering among traditional and iterative project methods.
- Apply the project requirements steps of eliciting, analyzing, documenting, and testing to address and solve a proposed business problem.
- Develop a business requirements document that addresses and solves a proposed business problem.
- Use technology and information resources to research issues in procuring and designing project requirements.
- Write clearly and concisely about project requirements and design topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.

OUTLINE: State Fighter’s Association Case
The document is organized as follows.
Identification the business problems: This section answers the first question. i.e. (All the
business problems in the case are discussed herein.)
Rapid Application Development: This section answers the second prompt. i.e. (Determine
whether to use a traditional or iterative project method (e.g., RAD and Agile) in this case and
explain why or why not.) The RAD method is preferably chosen, and the justification is
provided.
Requirements gathering techniques: This section provides the preferable requirements
gathering technique in the attempt to answer the third prompt. i.e. (Determine the requirements
analysis strategies in this situation and explain why to choose those strategies.) On the same not
a justification for the method is provided including the pros and cons of using the technique.
Requirements documentation techniques: The final section presents documentation techniques
which can be implemented in the system development life cycle. Pros and cons of implementing
the techniques discussed herein are presented. The section attempt to answer the fourth prompt,
i.e. (Choose the requirements documentation techniques and explain their pros and cons.)

Identification the business problems
State Fighters association is a relatively large non-profit organization whose financial and
member management is facing challenges due to the outdated system in place. The extant system
is powered by an outdated operating system which supports the earliest versions of the database
management applications (dBase3). Typically, dBase3 is an outdated database management
platform which operates through a database engine, a query system, forms engine and a
programming language that ties the components named above together (Duffy, 1990).
Consequently, no available software package in the contemporary setting runs on dBase3 due to
advancement in Database Management Systems (DBMS). Since the system is outdated in
general, it is clear that there are no experts who can manage the current system including the
presumably outdated software package being used by Bob and his wife. The case indicates that
querying is a difficult task for the system to accomplish and in some cases, it takes 17 hours to
finish running one query!
On the other hand, interacting with the current system is a painful process since the
system’s interface operates on a DOS operating system which does not have the modern
graphical user interface. Typically, a user has to type in commands to manipulate data entry as
well as management activities. For this reason, the software package in use is said to be
inconvenient since one field is displayed at a time during data entry. Therefore, it is very difficult
to return to the preceding fields to make corrections. Even worse, the database is unstable
presumably because it was not created to handle a large data set. Theref...
