Part 1
All students are reminded to form into groups by Week 5 of the Term. For all on-campus students, please take help from your lead lecturer for the formation of your team if needed. For distance students, your unit coordinator is the staff to contact to help you with team formation. Your team members should take different roles in the team, including analyst, report writer, and proof reader. You rotate the leadership role. You divide the tasks of major body sections of your report. All team members work closely together to produce the introduction and conclusion sections. When you change leadership roles, the next analyst will assume the role of a new leader heading the team into the right common direction. The finalised version of the report should be read and reviewed in full by all team members. The Week 12 team leader will be responsible for submitting the assignment. The title page of your assignment should include Student Ids and full names of all team members. Include a table showing your leadership roles, team member roles and durations in the last page of your assignment.

Assessment Task: Part I (2500 words)
You are required (as a group with three to four members) to write a report based on a given case study. In this report, you need to evaluate current systems and processes and propose improvements or development and implementation of new ICT system for the given case study. You are required to demonstrate your analytical and modelling skills to communicate your findings from the case study.
Read the given case study and carefully explore the context of business, the strategy, approaches and technological systems discussed in the article. Try to understand the business processes involved and what can be a proposed solution in terms of using ICT system/s. See yourself as a future business analyst and visualize yourself as applying the knowledge and skills developed in this unit of study if you would have been part of a team working for this project.
During your analysis, focus on the following topics that you have to include in your report:
1. Project background, objectives and strategies.
2. Stakeholders
3. Business context and business case
4. Statement of current business processes and problems
5. Proposed new System/s
6. Method of evaluation for the users to follow while using the system (this will follow from the mission and objectives of the project). This is required as it is a social innovation and evaluation will be a longitudinal study.
The report should be structured having:
• A title page, headers and footers
• Executive summary
• Table of Contents
• Introduction
• Topical headings as required.
• Conclusion of your findings.
• References
• Roles and Responsibilities
Introduction should introduce the project describing the background, briefly describing the problems and objectives. It should also introduce the report.
Your analytical and modelling skills are to be demonstrated through your analysis results as well as the inclusions of modelling diagrams like mind mapping drawn using CMap, and process modelling completed using ADONIS.
Use references to support your arguments, method of analysis, tools and techniques appropriately. You should have minimum four journal articles or textbooks as your reference.
References:
