Section A – Management summary
A1. Management summary for W2L
According to the case study, The Walk2Live is a health and fitness franchise that has
been steadily growing over the last 20 years. W2L has 15 employees. W2L has a head office
and 55 franchises in different towns and cities across the UK. Each franchise takes
responsibility for their region and manages locally and manually or simple website connected
to a database.
Each area needs a list of members, with the groups, classes and programmes that
members are assigned according to age and fitness level.
Walk2Live held meeting for new system called Alive which consists of Project
Manager, CFO, Shipping and Logistics, Marketing, Consultant, Franchise owners and
Management PA to make new system.
A1.1 Background
Walk2Live is a health and fitness franchise that has been over the last 20 years. The
organization was founded by Janet Moore who exercising together with six of her friends by
walking 5km every day. As more spread more people joined with them and start exercising.
Janet wants to make bigger and maintain this participation.
Janet started the company and improved from being a walking club to a wellness
centre which offers classes such as spinning, yoga and pilates. Walking and running clubs
also included.
Janet wants to control all franchises from the head office. So, she wants to change
the system. The new system called Alive start to born. For the new system, we should
discuss about the best way for the new system like why DSDM is suitable for this system,
High Level Requirements and Legal, Social, Ethical and Professional issues.
A1.2 Is DSDM Atern suitable for W2L’s new system “Alive”?
DSDM is an agile project framework and based on RAD methodology. DSDM was
used as a software development method. DSDM is an iterative and incremental approach to
user or customer. The following are the characteristics of projects that are suitable with
DSDM Atern.
1. Focus on the business need

4
According to the scenario, Alive system is bringing together to make exercise for
healthy daily life. The system does not harm the human lives. If there are some errors in this
system, it would be acceptable. Alive system is not a real-time or safety project. The
business case is giving service who wants a healthy life. DSDM is a method which perfect
for business.
2. Deliver on time
The transactions in Alive system is need to break into blocks. We can use time-
boxing techniques from DSDM. For example, registration process is the first time box and
product selling is the second time box and more process can divided into time box. And the
system can be ready on time at the deadline.
3. Collaborate
For Alive system, there are no IT professionals at company. So, Janet needs to take
a help from outside. W2L needs to collaborate with outsiders. Collaboration is the most
important part for a successful outcome for this new system.
4. Never compromise quality
In case study, W2L’s Alive system can consider as a small project. The functional
requirements of the system are simple and not complex. The development team can adjust
functional requirements for this system rather than quality and would not need to
compromise quality.
5. Build incrementally from firm foundations
Giving feedbacks based on delivery and the business needs are really useful for
incrementally development concept of DSDM. Alive system can divide into time box and can
deliver on time.
6. Develop iteratively
DSDM is flexible to make changes during developing periods. Business can make
changes during developing period if they need changes. After making changes in system,
feedbacks are returned at the end and the product can deliver on time.
7. Communicate continuously and clearly
W2L held facilitated workshop in order to get more information on the system
requirements and to provide more communication with development team. The development
team can use prototypes to show the possible display for this system. By using prototypes, it
will become easier to communicate with users and business.

5
8. Demonstrate control
According to DSDM, the system must be visible and under control by every
stakeholders.
(The DSDM Agile Project Framework)
A1.3 Advantages and drawbacks of DSDM for this system
The followings are the advantages for W2L by using DSDM Atern.
 The company does not need to worry about work done for the system because the
development team will do their own parts.
 The system break into small parts and time box which are processed individually. If
there are some errors occur in small parts, it won’t harm the whole system.
 Prototypes can help to make changes quickly and show possible outcomes to the
user and business.
 MoSCoW prioritisation will help development team to divide the important parts first
and fix the time for delivery.
The followings are the drawbacks for W2L
 DSDM allows changes during developing period and users might to change their
mind every time. A lot of budgets and process can harm the development team.
 For the company, it can be difficult to get a decision because the development team
is self-empowering.

B2.2 Reasons in Setting Priorities
1. Customers must be able to buy things (Must have)
Customers need to buy things when they visit to the website. If the website
can’t buy products, there’s no use to visit the website and view the products. This
function is one of the most important functions for this system.
2. Able to search and browse products to buy (Must have)
Customers want to find the products which they need in the website and what
they want to buy. So, the function of search and browse products must have in this
website. If this functions don’t have in the website, how customers can find the
products which they want.

for the products from customers.
8. A way for us to know what we should pack and ship (Must have)
If the company doesn’t know where they should deliver the products, it will be
a biggest problem. So, the company needs to know where they should deliver.
9. People should be able to ask us questions about products and services (Should
have)
This function can add in the future. Customers need to ask about the products
and services. But for the delivery time of the system doesn’t have enough it can add
in later.

Section C – Legal, Social, Ethical and Professional issues
C1. Management summary
C1.1 Role of the Data Controller
A data controller is an individual or legal person who control and responsible to keep safely
for the personal data and information on computer or manual files. Being a data controller is
quite burden and serious about people because data controller can’t talk easily about
personal information and can’t leak to the outside. If data controller has a doubt or unsure
about identity, data controller should go to legal adviser or get advice of the Data Protection.
“Data protection imposes three basic duties for data controllers

the ‘criteria of legitimate data processing.

And data controller should collect the data which they need. If they collect other personal
data, they need to keep and can’t leak to others. They need to keep surely.
(Are you a "data controller"?, 2018)
Fair
W2L needs to collect the health status of people who join their classes. Some people
don’t want to give their health status to strangers. For the company, they need to know their
health status to give them suitable lessons. When the customers don’t want to share their
health status, the company needs to find out their health status without noticing them.
According to Data Protection Act, obtaining the personal data should be fairly. Collect their
health status without noticing them is not fairly. The company should inform the customers
before collect their health status.

12
data. Personal data should share only for specific lawfully purposes. W2L shouldn’t share
the data to other nongovernment organizations.
Adequate

excessive for specified purpose, W2L should delete them completely. The company should
not keep unnecessary data about the customers.
Accurate
W2L should keep only accurate data about the customers. And the company needs
to collect the accurate data from the customers directly. The company shouldn’t collect the
data for the outsiders of the customers.
Retention
W2L needs to keep the data of the customers who left the classes. The company
needs to keep them safely even though the customers left. The company shouldn’t take
easily the safety of the data for those customers.
Rights
If the customers don’t want to share the data to the other third parties, the company
shouldn’t share as much as possible. The customers give their personal data to the
