i L A B O V E R V I E W Scenario and Summary
You have been hired by the School of Prosperity (SoP) as a software architect to help the school
plan, design, and implement a new online system called the Student Records System (SRS).
The Student Records System (SRS), described in the SRS Preliminary Planning Overview
document, is the 7-week-long project that you will work on throughout this course. You will be
developing UML models and documents for the planning, design, and implementation phases of
SRS development.
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.
Deliverables
Complete the System Request Form for the SRS, including your five questions.

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.
To keep up with the high demands of increased enrollments and to allow students to handle their
own registrations online, SoP decided to invest in a new Internet-accessible Student Record
System dubbed SRS.
3. The SRS is to maintain records for students enrolled in the school, courses offered by the school,
classes offered of these courses in the two modalities of online and face-to-face, and student
grades for the classes that they have completed. The SRS should be Internet-accessible and thus
allows students to self-register directly for their own classes and allows the staff to work from
any location that has an Internet connection and a web browser.
