figo2476 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hi: I am asked a software requirements question and would like to bring it to discussion. (The company's core business customize open source software to suite the client needs.) The client has an old flash + text + a few menus website. They need a much better website, since they change their business model. There are requirements. (I simplify them and brief here) [pre] * Content updates + extra menus. * New business model * News letter - display on the site or via email * Events listing * Users management * Register * Buy courses e.g. accounting course, software course * Manage users * Prospective employees upload resumes * Photo gallery (Senior management) [/pre] The question is what is my initial response? I initially think: * I will prepare use cases, site plan to present to the client. * Website mock up. * More? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynewex Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 What I usually do is ask them to give me a link to three -five websites that they like using, and centre the functionality of the project around those, so that they're far more familiar with how to work it. Use cases are a great way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figo2476 Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 It seems I have great details in hand, but they may be ambiguous. I wonder am I supposed to use them. I guess the task is to test how I handle software requirement and client relationship. I am not very clear what is the purpose of the question.
