Exercise 1: Agile Modeling and Prototyping

Assignment: Our team has been assigned the task of creating a new mobile application for “Food2Go”, an expanding food delivery service. Given its highly competitive market, your employer desires to use Agile methodology for rapid prototyping.

Your task is to use agile modeling and prototyping techniques to develop a working prototype for the app, which should demonstrate key features like browsing restaurants, placing orders, tracking orders, providing customer feedback, etc.

Instructions: Start by identifying and documenting all the features your prototype should cover, using Agile modeling techniques to model these features, then create a functional prototype that demonstrates them all.

Write a comprehensive outline of your methodology. Provide details as to why and how certain techniques were chosen during the development process. Submit both your prototype and written explanation for evaluation.

Exercise 2: Data Flow Diagram (DFD).

Assignment: Your work as a systems analyst at a mid-sized university that’s looking to revamp its student registration system entails creating a Data Flow Diagram (DFD) representing current system requirements.

Registration systems should encompass course listings, student enrollment, billing procedures, and record keeping.

Instructions: Begin by identifying key processes and data flows within your system. Produce a DFD that accurately reflects these flows, then write up an explanation as to why you chose this representation of it for the system.

Submit your DFD for evaluation along with its written explanation.

Both exercises will test your abilities to develop models, prototype, and represent system requirements in real-life settings, honing them through practice. Remember that your goal should not simply be completing the task but justifying your choices while showing an in-depth knowledge of the methodologies involved (LO3, LO4, and LO5).

Essential Activities:

1. Reading Chapters 6 and 7 will assist you with the exercise.
2. Watching What is Agile Methodology, Agile Modeling and Prototyping, and Data Flow Diagrams will assist you with the exercise.
