Hi Adrian/Sr.BA’s,

Before I move on to the next step of approaching the S/H’s for more information and reviewing the current set of requirements, I am putting up the requirements list I have prepared based on the questions I asked the S/H and the S/H’s response.

There are a few more questions I need to ask the S/H however I have included them in this list so I don’t miss them out. (They have red comments)

My questions to you:
The answer about dropping a requirement (2) and including it for a future version
The business user has told me that they would like to drop this requirement (current version) as they do not have an automated password generator. I on the other hand would prefer to run this pass the IT team before dropping this requirement.(just in case they have an existing solution) Do you think I am safe in taking this forward to the IT team or will you consider that it would be better to put it down for the next version.

Regarding the interface between the ATM and the OBS:
Should I expand more on these requirements? When I send my draft version of the requirements list to the S/H and the IT team I intend asking them if there is anything else I need to consider for the system and include in the requirements list. I may or may not get more information.

Any comments and suggestions with the list I have prepared that will help me in my next steps would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Kris

Requirements list updated 0.1 – 14/11/07 is attached.

Hi everybody,

I want also join the game as a junior BA. (I have no  previous experience in this field...)

I'd like to add following questions to the list provided by Kris.

1) So you have identified customers of the Cyberbank (a persons who have Savings account, Cheque account, Certificate of deposit’s (CD accounts) or Money market accounts in the  Cyberbank ) and OBS(the Cyberbank’s main on-line banking system) will be able to interact with the system. Is there anyone (anything) else?

2) In which Currency customer will be able to withdraw money from ATM (only in USD or also in another currency e.g. EURO)

3) What banknotes will  be accepted by ATM ( Is there any constrain on it, e.g. Will be the customer able to withdraw $431 or  only amounts which are ended on 5 or 0 430 )

4) Do the customers pay any fee for transactions? (I mean Cyberbank customers)

5)  must the system support multi languages?

6) What is maximum time of client inactivity after he insersts the card? and What happened next?

7) I'm also interesting how many simultaneous transaction should the system support

p.s. I hope these questions don't sound very unrelated :)

Hi Kris,

I would informally go to the IT guys and get an informal feasibility check on the requirement.  I would also be likely to keep it in the specs but spend time on managing people's expectations.  And if it really is an unlikely one for delivery I'd be looking for contingencies.
