In each week, you will be provided with the information you need to continue to develop
your analysis and design UML models and documents for this project.
In this very first week, you will develop the System Request document that articulates the
business needs and values of the SRS. The Sop school is excited about this project and
allowed you to ask them five questions to clarify project issues for you about the SRS
project. You are to include these five questions in your submitted System Request.

System Request Form. Download the System Request Template. Complete the System
Request Form for the SRS based on your review of the SRS - Preliminary Planning
Overview. See the Figure 2-13 example in the text. As you create the System Request,
generate and document at least five questions and specify who you think the best point of
contact might be for each question. Explain your work and the decisions you made to
arrive at your proposed solution.

Student Records System SRS - Preliminary Planning Overview
The School of Prosperity (Sop) is a small Information Technology & Science school
located in the nation’s capital of Washington, D.C. The school serves a growing student
population of about 5000 students by offering programs leading to the Bachelor and
Master degrees in IT and Software development.
SoP has, traditionally, offered most of its classes in a face-to-face modality. Recently and
because of the increased demands of student enrollments, the school started to offer some
of its classes online as well.
The school staff currently uses an in-house desktop application to keep track of students,
courses, and to register students for classes. School staff has to be physically in the office
in order to access the in-house application. To register for a class (either face-to-face or
online class), a student must complete a paper registration form, submit it to the school
staff, and the staff will then enter the registration information into the desktop
application.
This process always generates many errors in moving from the paper form to the
electronic registration filing. Moreover, since there are so many add/drops at the
beginning of each semester, the school staff experiences a higher than normal work
volume handling these add/drop forms preventing them for completing other tasks
allocated to them like staff development and training.
