1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this document is to present and document the business requirements of the ‘Cool Ski
Resorts Online Management System’.The new online system will create a convenient and efficient
website for customers who can complete the booking process online.The Cool Ski Resorts
Company staff can easily handle the daily business, generate the reports and post advertisement via
the new system.Above all, the new system will improve the customers experience and work
efficiency to attract more regular customers in the future.
The system that has been designed consists of a website, a room booking system, equipment
bookings, ski class bookings, class scheduling, payments, equipment/inventory management,
feedback reports, financial reports as well as management of advertising material.

Group 13
1.2 Document Conventions
Requirement Priority indicators that were used in this document:
H = High. These requirements must be met before the project can be launched.
M = Medium. These requirements should be met unless there are compelling reasons for delays
L = Low. These requirements are not absolutely needed for project launch.
This document was organized in accordance with the Software Requirements Specification template
of the IEEE.
1.3 Intended Audience and Reading Suggestions
This document is intended to be read by stakeholders of the project to provide an overview of the
project plan as well as developers of the project. Stakeholders include the project sponsor (Owner of
Cool Ski Resorts Mary Smith), Resort Staff who will be the eventual users of this new System and
the business analyst team members.
This document is organized in accordance with the IEEE SRS template and will provide an overall
description of the project with regards to features, user classes, implementation constraints and
assumptions followed by details of the system features in the form of Use Case Descriptions and
Diagrams and closing with Non-Functional Requirements.

Group 13
1.4.2 In Scope
This project is intended to fulfil the requests set forth by the owner of Cool Ski Resorts in the
documents provided to us as well as through past interviews.
This project will consist of an online room, class and equipment booking system, an inventory
management system, payment handling, class scheduling system, customer feedback management,
accounting system, as well as a social media advertising management system.
The new online system will be built to be accessed primarily through the Resort website. Some staff
only features will not be available unless via internal intranet. All secure access will be
authenticated either via staff login credentials or guest details.
1.4.3 Out of Scope
Processing of payments will not be handled directly by the website for security and privacy reasons.
Payment processing is out of the scope of this project and will be handled by the bank’s processing
system. The payments system of this project will hand off processing of payment to the bank and
receive and record an approved or denied message.
Actual accounting and financial management will not be handled by this system as it is not designed
to replace accounting staff. This accounts management system is intended to make it easier and
more efficient to gather and query accounting information such as payments and purchases made. It
is intended to be a digital alternative to the current paper only system.
This SRS does not take into account the mechanics of network security and management as well as
bandwidth requirements. These details are beyond the scope of the project requirements and can be
determined by network management staff or developers. While basic security is taken into account
such as hashing of stored passwords, actual security protocols should be implemented by qualified
security experts.
Creation of staff login credentials can be accomplished by the IT Manager or any other staff
member with administrative access, the process for this to be done is out of the scope of this project.

Group 13
2. Overall Description
2.1 Product Perspective
This product is intended to be built for a single resort within the Cool Ski Resorts chain as specified
by the Owner Ms. Smith.
In our previous meetings, Ms. Smith has specified that this project is required to interface with
online systems of the other two resorts in her resort chain. Taking this information into account, we
have designed the system to be more of a standalone system, reducing dependency to the other
resorts where it is not necessary. We understand that for the sake of accounting and financial
management, integration between the two resorts is required and as such, this has been included in
the project plan.
In accordance with Ms. Smith’s requests, this project has been designed to digitize the current
method of operations of the resort and move away from operations being ‘only on paper’.
Implementing this project will allow for the automation of mundane administrative tasks such as
record keeping and manual data retrieval. It also allows for new capabilities that were not feasible
with paper only systems such as guest logins and online bookings as well as credit card payments.
Overall, this system aims to improve productivity of resort staff, improve efficiency by reducing
time taken to complete administrative tasks and create an overall better experience for guests by
allowing them to have control over tasks such as payments and bookings.

Group 13
2.2 Product Features
The product will be primarily interacted upon by users through the webpage. This allows for guests
to access room, class and equipment booking information all through their preferred device, be it a
computer or mobile device.
Through this web page, users are then able to view information regarding the resort as well as view
social media posts, advertising material and a current weather report which they may click to visit
Google Weather forecasts for the Resorts exact location.
Furthermore, guests will then be able to view skiing class availabilities without a room booking in
order to better decide when they would like to book rooms for. Guests can then make reservations
for their rooms and pay by credit card after providing some personal information. This process can
also be accomplished at the front desk by staff using their staff login credentials.
Upon first login for guests, they will be presented with a prompt to set 2 security questions. This
will allow them to reset the passwords to their accounts while they stay at the resort. Customer
personal details not required for accounting and legal purposes will be removed 14 days after
checkout. This is due to the fact that customers will be given 14 days to leave feedback about their
stay using these account credentials to verify that the feedback is left by an actual resort guest.
While staying at the ski resort, customers may book skiing classes and/or hire skiing equipment
using the website and their login credentials. They will also be able to make payment via credit card
on the website. Booking of equipment is free if the guest has already booked a class.
The following features should be accessible only via local intranet where possible.
The system has also been designed to allow for staff to manage inventory and remind staff members
as to what equipment needs to be replaced and when. This allows for the inventory staff to operate
in a paperless manner, reducing waste and preventing the loss of documentation as well as allowing
for audit trails.
Besides that, accounting staff will be able to easily query and view financial records of the resort
and consolidate them with the other 2 resorts’ systems if required. This allows for the elimination of
paper records and increased efficiency when processing accounts and taxation information.
Administrative tasks such as customer feedback report and guest user account management can also
be accomplished by customer service staff using this system which is capable of collecting and
generating reports of customer feedback. To begin with, the Owner and IT Manager are by default,
allocated administrative privileges and have the ability to change and adjust any details within the
entire system such as fee waivers, password changes, account removal, etc.
Lastly, the system is also capable of allowing for marketing staff to upload social media posts with
marketing material to add to social media accounts and display on the website for the purposes of
increasing the resort’s social media outreach.

Group 13
2.3 User ClassesandCharacteristics
This system will be used by 2 primary groups of users which can be categorized into 3 skill levels.
The two groups are those of Resort Guests and Resort Staff. They can be sorted into 3 skill levels:
A. Completely unfamiliar with IT facilities or unwilling to use
B. Average user with basic knowledge on IT facilities
C. Skilled or professional knowledge and grasp of IT facilities
This system has taken into account for guests who are unable, or unwilling to use IT facilities while
staying at the resort or booking their stay. Hence, customer service staff will have access to be able
to accomplish any tasks that a guest may perform on their behalf such as booking a room or hiring
equipment. Having customer service staff perform these roles will increase the workload on the
staff members, but will not require any direct contact between the system and the customer,
allowing them to enjoy their stay without being forced to use a system that they are not able or do
not want to use.
We expect most guests and staff members to fall under the category of average user with experience
in some form of regular computer or IT facility use. The webpage will be designed to be intuitive to
navigate for most average users and they should not have any issues if prompts and notices are
followed. Training material will be provided for staff members to familiarise themselves with the
systems concerning their job roles before it is fully launched to the public. It is recommended that
staff members should be able or qualified to use and navigate common IT facilities.
Members of the IT management staff are expected to be skilled at navigating and using IT facilities
and will be given full administrative access to the system for the purposes of maintenance and
troubleshooting. Oversight of their privileges is at the Owner’s discretion. Detailed documentation
of the system will be provided as well as training material for their reference.

Group 13
2.4 Operating Environment
While actual details regarding the physical system is to be determined by developers due to the
limited scope of knowledge of the business analyst team, it can be stated that the new online system
will mainly leverage the existing facilities of the current website. While bandwidth and hardware
upgrades may most likely be required, the current architecture can largely be maintained.
The website is expected to be hosted on an Apache server that is in-house and resides on hardware
that will be maintained by the IT Management team. This can be executed in the form of a virtual
machine to allow for growth of website traffic in the next two years. Having the web server run on a
virtual machine will allow for extremely easy migration of the web server in the event that the
owner wishes to outsource web hosting to an external company. A database server is also expected
to reside on the virtual machine for the purposes of storing and retrieving data.
Due to the web-based nature of the system, it will be largely compatible with any device that is
capable of internet access and has a web browser. The website will be coded with industry standard
practices to keep compatibility issues to a minimum.
With Google Chrome being the most popular web browser in the world (Vaughan-Nichols 2017),
special care will be taken to ensure optimum compatibility. As such, Google Chrome will be the
recommended web browser for staff use.
Compatibility of the online systems of the 2 other resorts will also be taken into account with focus
primarily on database access as the accounting staff will require access to the accounting
information of the other two resorts. More information will be needed regarding the other two
resort’s systems to be able to conclusively state what needs to be done.
2.5 Designand Implementation Constraints
Current constraints will be that of the interface between this system and the existing systems of the
two other resorts. Developers will be required to implement support for accessing the other resorts’
database or system. More documentation is required at this stage for better analysis.
The other constraint is to digitize all existing paperwork to allow for a transition from hard copy
documents to an electronic system. While this is out of the scope of the operations of the project,
implementing a system to make this possible will likely be required. More communication is
needed to determine what if anything is required to make this possible.

Group 13
2.6 User Documentation
Training manuals for staff will be included that reflect the Use Case Descriptions below. These
manuals will include step by step instructions on how to perform each task and what can be
achieved. It is recommended that staff only be trained for systems that concern their positions as to
prevent and confusion. Detailed documentation on the development and deployment of the system
will be provided to the IT Management staff to hand-over operations.
Besides training manuals, training workshops will also be held to formally train and assess staff
members in the usage of the new system and to allow time for staff to familiarise themselves with
the online system. Staff members who have proven to be experts in the usage of their respective
systems may be designated to assist in the further training of other staff members.
2.7 Assumptions and Dependencies
1. All current payments are handled by cash.
2. All payments on the new system are electronic. No cash is to be accepted.
3. User login details will be created upon booking (customers) or upon the start of their
employment (staff).
4. Staff access control is predetermined. Staff cannot access systems that are not part of their
job.
5. All credit card processing is handled by the bank’s system and beyond the scope of the use
cases.

unaccompanied children will be denied service as agreed by the customer on the web page).
13. Any exceptions to use cases not listed in the exceptions list will be managed at CEO’s
discretion (override using CEO login credentials).
14. In the “Manage Advertisement” use case, plugins exist for marketing staff to have full
control over all social media accounts and marketing material.
15. Credential validation and cross use case validation is handled by the internal database.
16. All sensitive information is stored in a secure manner using industry standard encryption.
17. Network security and management is performed by IT staff
18. Only accounting information is required to be retrieved from the other two Cool Ski Resorts
19. All resorts are operationally independent
20. Staff are expected to be able to use IT facilities as part of hiring requirement.

Appendix A: Issues List
The only issue we are currently unable to resolve is that of the interfaces between the two other
resorts. We are unable to provide definitive information regarding it at the moment due to lack of
information about the other two systems. However, we are confident that a solution can be
achieved and it is only a matter of getting the information required to complete the task.

Appendix B: Individual Reflection
Wei JoonLow
Throughout this assignment, I have learnt about the importance of interviews in the requirements
elicitation process. Without speaking to someone who is the intended user or customer, it is nearly
impossible to get a true picture of what a project should be like. Building a project purely out of
assumptions will likely result in projects that end users will not enjoy, do not achieve the
customer’s intended tasks or one that users will outright refuse to use.
Interviews have hence helped build a baseline of current operations which helps analysts plan a
project that emulates current operations while still achieving the intended goals of the customer.
This allows for a reduced aversion towards the new project by users as the ‘logic’ of their tried and
tested old ways of working are emulated digitally into a new system. Apart from making it less
daunting, it also helps with training users on the new system as they can view the processes of the
new system in relation to the old.
I have also learnt the importance of good documentation practices and document handling. Proper
documentation practices allow for auditing of any mistakes as well as minimizing data losses
through having multiple versions throughout the process of developing the document.
With regards to this assignment, I have learned the importance of proper work delegation to group
members with regards to abilities and time. It is important to take into account a group member’s
strengths and weaknesses as well as availability when delegating work. Often, work is divided
equally amongst all group members with each member taking an equal share. While this method
may seem fair, it is often an inefficient method of dividing up work. I have found that in this
assignment, dividing up work by group member’s ability and experience is far better and has better
results. Even though one group member may appear to receive more work than another, a group
member who is better at writing than another who is better at developing diagrams will both feel
that they have the same amount of work as they are able to complete their assigned tasks faster and
with relative ease, allowing for an overall better-quality result and satisfied group mates.
Besides that, I have found that the interviews that were conducted for this assignment were quite
limited in scope and did not allow enough breadth for us to explore more into the case study itself.
The meeting schedule availability also proved to be an issue as 2 out of 3 of our group members are
employed and it is very difficult to adjust to fit the time slots available. Having only 1 person
(stakeholder) to interview was also hard as it did not allow for a range of information that would be
available from different perspectives and people. However, we did find that our questions often
were not specific enough or did not probe deeply enough into a particular topic. This fact was not
apparent to us until meetings were over and development of the written work began.
Overall, this assignment was a good learning experience, allowing for exploration into a topic I
have thus far been unfamiliar with and allowing my group and myself to explore different ways of
delegating work and completing the assignment effectively and efficiently.

Before doing this course, I have basic knowledge of the software design and elicitation
techniques.Although, the exciting part is meeting with the stakeholder which is a real practical
experience that is amazing. I learned how to express and ask a question and get the requirement
elicitation as necessary from the clients.This improved my communication skills which are lack of
nowadays as most of the student. Besides, this assignment helps me to go through the designing of
use case and data modelling technique which is an essential part of communicating with the
stakeholders.Before this, I have no experience with writing SRS document. I learnt the crucial skill
to be successful “business analyst ‘ for my future career by doing practical writing SRS and known
the rules and guidelines which I enjoyed my learning.However, I also learnt by consulting to tutor
and getting help from previous student work.
On the other hands, there are only a few factors to talk about the missing part of the course, which
can be improved for future work. For example, it will be great helpful the tutorial class be more
than 1 hour, which is now very limited only 1 hour. Besides, the meeting with stakeholder which I
like the idea is very short limited time.It will significantly help if we interview real-life case
industry scenario which will engage student more and a chance to get real industry level experience
form the clients for “requirement elicitation”.

Individual reflection
Our case is about eliciting the requirement of Cool Ski resort company and analysing the user need
and documenting the whole process for stakeholders to understand the project. We formed a group
of three to breakdown the tasks for the whole project. I am mainly responsible for the quality
assurance for the meetings to make sure we have got all the answer we need and assist the whole
process.
Planning and process
At the first beginning, we analysed the information we had to identify the scope for the new system
which our customers would like and recorded the questions for the further information we need for
the first interview. We prepared the questions which involved in the general concept of the whole
project, for example the expected output and performance of current system.During the first
meeting, I recognised that the communication skills are very important for eliciting the
requirement. The interviewer sometimes could not understand our questions clearly which are too
complicated regarding the way we asked her and we also had to pay attention to the way we
organised the mins which should be clear and easy to understand by every stakeholder. We decided
to narrow down the questions for our second interview to get the specific requirement for the whole
new system and simply the questions for better understanding. We improved our interviewing skills
during the second meeting and finally we did a great job for the last one. At the end, we
documented all the requirements in the software requirement specification by description, use case
and ERD diagrams.
Reflective evaluation
According to this case study, I have learnt the whole process about eliciting the user requirement in
a practical way. In my perspective, understanding and delivering the user requirement is important
for initiating the project. It also requires the comprehensive skills, for example, the knowledge for
eliciting the requirement, the communication skills for talking to the interviewees, the technical
skills about use case and ERD diagrams. Overall, the whole case study helps me understand the
whole process and the skill we need in the real world and identify the skills I have to learn.
