Assignment 2 version 2.2 (25 April 2016)
Presentation: search for examples of consulting company reports, your assignment should have a professional look and feel; put your name, student number, course and semester only on the cover sheet – the rest of the assignment should look like a professional Business Analyst’s report.
Word length: a guide is that for assignment tasks requiring a written response you would expect around 1 page for a task worth 10 marks; brevity and clarity is more important than volume of words. As noted above you should pay particular attention to use of subheadings, fonts and other ways of improving readability, Business Analysis is all about clarity of communication.
Using the same case study in Assignment 1 and building upon the work you have already completed you need to undertake the following tasks:
TASK 2.01 Continue your journal (a project log or diary) for this next Assignment, date, summary of activities undertaken, actions completed and actions planned. Use a table with columns for activity number, date, activity, description and status. The journal will serve as the diary of your project. The journal should be attached as an Appendix to your report (15 Marks)
Task 2.02 Develop a “TO BE” and “AS IS” process using BPMN or UML then compare the As-Is and To-be diagrams to assess the impact of change and prepare a briefing note for the Organizational change and Training Team regarding the anticipated business impact of the system. You should make recommendations on how these business impacts can be managed (25 Marks)
