Problem Statement

The problem of multiple schedules without a source to consolidate into a single form of

media affects Business Professionals with lives outside of work. The impact of which is an

unawareness of all appointments and various other commitments.

Scenario

Steven is the Sales Director of a startup of 20 employees and a devoted husband and father of 2.

Steven has important meeting with a possible customer that is rescheduled after he has already left for the day.

Steven did not receive the reschedule notification due to family commitments outside of work.

Steven is late to the meeting the next morning and misses out on a big opportunity for new business.

The startup’s success is now in jeopardy due to the missed opportunity.

Goal

Consolidate all schedules into one location and allow user to modify them at their

convenience.

Process Specification (NFR)

Process Specification (FR)

Process Specification (FR)

Requirement (FR)

The application shall allow the user to create appointments

The application shall allow users to synchronize information between the application and all other existing electronic calendars (personal, work, etc.).

WRS Requirement Refinement (FR)

Functional Refinement There is no definition of what fields need to be in

the appointment. Issue description: A problem exists creating the

appointments because there are currently no functional requirements defining what fields are required for an appointment.

Options: An option is to define the common fields required when creating the appointment.

Decision and Rationale: Create additional functional requirements to clearly define the field required.

Revised functional requirement The appointment shall allow the creator to specify the

subject of the appointment, location, start time, end time, etc.

Requirement (NFR)

The software shall be compatible with the following calendars: Outlook, Google, Yahoo, and Lotus Notes.

The software shall be compatible as an application on the Apple iPhone version 3GS and newer.

WRS Requirement Refinement (NFR)

Non-Functional Refinement The software shall be available for download

from a database containing the Schedule 360 smartphone application. Issue description: How can availability be defined better

to ensure users have easy access to the application. Options: Keep or modify the current requirement. Decision and Rationale: Need to be specific on the term

“available for download” or describe where it is available.

Revised non-functional requirement The software shall be available for download from the

iPhone App Store.
