The University offers Information Technologycourses to students all over the world through distance learning.All the prospective student need is a computer and stable internetconnection. As part of its global outreach strategy, the onlineuniversity has to implement robust online platform to simplifyenrolment, communication, billing and distance learning ingeneral.You are part of the Project Team that is appointed to spearhead thedevelopment of the online platform. As a Software DevelopmentConsultant, you are also required to document requirements of theonline platform and design the overall system applying good designprinciples. You are also required to study agile project managementapproach as its going to be applied in the software developmentproject. The Project Team will consist of a Project Manager,Product Owner, Scrum Master and Development Team (SoftwareDevelopment Consultants with different specialities).As part of the business processes the system has to cater for, theOnline Technical Assistant will load online tasks, review thetasks, maintain the versioning of the tasks, assign online tasks tostudents, assess and moderate the tasks, aggregates the results ofthe completed tasks, and captures them. The Course Facilitatorswill oversee and supervise the work of the Online TechnicalAssistants. Course Facilitators report to the Head of Department(HoD). The Course Facilitator’s duty in the workflow will be tomoderate the results after they are captured by the OnlineTechnical Assistant, approves the results, sign them off andsubmits them for capturing. The results will end up in the HoD’sOffice. The HoD receives the results reports, moderates thereports, selects best performer and issues the final approval.

Results are captured per Course, a Course belongs to aDepartment and a Department belongs to a Faculty within theUniversity. Students can enroll for more than one Course and OnlineTechnical Assistants are allowed to facilitate many Courses duringthe course of the year. The Online University Platform should alsohave a fuctionality for students to register, check course costs,download proof of registration, update contact details, anddownload statement of account compiled by finance. All the abovefunctionalities will be delivered in the first phase of theProject.Quality is valued at the University and no project is approved ifthis aspect cannot be demonstrated. Before deploying the system inProduction, the project team will embark on a data take-on exercisebecause an operational system requires a fully populated databaseto support ongoing processing. As stated, that Quality is valued atthe University, the development team is forced to apply strictrules around Unit Testing and Integration Testing. Performance orstress testing report will form part of the approval process beforethe system is deployed into production. To save money on databaselicencing the University mostly uses open source software andrelational database management system (DBMS). MySQL is a free andopen-source DBMS to be used during the Project. All the databaseson MySQL including the back-ups should be encrypted.After the deployment of the system in production, the project teamwill embark on the second phase of the Project. Otherfunctionalities of the Online University Platform that will becatered for in the second phase, are the ability for Students tolodge disputes, view results, rate the course content, like thecontent, comment on the content and chat with Online TechnicalAssistants. The Online University Platform should also beaccessible on a Mobile Device.
