KII6031 Cloud Computing Solutions - Assessment 3

Part A – Cloud Computing Solution (Requirements Report)

1. Using the project brief for “Web Service API” research and complete the “web service development requirements report” template provided with this assessment.

• Ensure your development report covers all the requirements contained within the case study (project brief).
• Record any notable events, research and problem solving you performed within your development diary.

2. Using the project brief for the “Desktop Client Application” research and complete the “application development requirements report” template provided with this assessment.

• Ensure your development report covers all the requirements contained within the case study (project brief).
• Record any research and problem solving you performed within your development diary.

3. Organise and conduct an interview with your client (your facilitator will play the role of a client in this case) and clarify any remaining issue or concern regarding the identified requirements.

• Develop a range of open-ended and closed-ended questions (at least 10 questions) intended for the client to answer during interview.
• Questions should include topics such as user interface (UI) designs, branding and budgetary requirements, as well as operational or technical requirements.
• Use this opportunity to clarify all numerical information such as expected number of users, data storage, scope of big-data applications, as well as performance expectations of the cloud-computing system.
• Record all questions asked and responses collected from your client using the meeting-minutes template provided with this assessment.
• You must adhere to all explicit and implicit operational protocols in place at your client organisation while conducting the interview and recording responses.
• Refer to the case study for any applicable operational protocol that must be followed. Protocols may include specific processes for sending meeting requests, sharing meeting minutes with the client, asking for approval on all identified requirements, or using appropriate communication medium.
• Draft an email seeking client approval on this project. Include a simple work breakdown structure (WBS) showing estimated development timelines and cost of development, based on an hourly rate of $50.
