Description
This assignment consists of two (2) sections: a business
requirements
document and a project plan. You must submit both sections as
separate files
for the completion of this assignment. Label each file name
according to the
section of the assignment it is written for. Additionally, you
may create
and / or assume all necessary assumptions needed for the completion
of this
assignment.
Procuring quality business requirements is an
important
step toward the design of quality information systems. Completion of a
quality requirements document allows user needs and expectations to be
captured,
so that infrastructure and information systems can be designed
properly. Your
company, which is a data-collection and analysis company that
has been operating
less than two (2) years, is seeking to create a
repository for collected data
beyond standard relational databases. Your ten
(10) terabyte data warehouse is
expected to grow by 20% each year. You are
mindful of data warehousing best
practices which will aid you immensely in
your requirements gathering effort.
Using the requirements document provided
in the course shell, you are to
speculate on the needs of the company. You
must consider current and future
requirements; however, assumptions should
be realistic and carefully considered.
