Requirement
#: 1
To register the clients
and their pets data
into the system
Requirement
Type:
Non-
functio
nal
Event/ BUC/ PUC #: BUC
Description: This process will allow the clients to enroll themselvs into the system of Animals R Us & Veterinary
School in order to get the facilities from the nominated service provider.
Rationale: In order to keep all the detail of their clients which will help them into their business process.
Originator: Client
Fit Criterion: Provied the valid identification proof of the customer and their animals.
Customer Satisfaction: 5 Customer Dissatisfaction: XX
Priority: Confli
cts:
In case if the customer does not provides
any valid proof they will be not able to get
the offered benefits. One of the major
conflict in this case will arrive if the database
system gets hacked then all of the
confidential data of their clients will be lost.

Req. #1 : #2 Req. #2 is 2 times more (*) than Req. #2
Req. #1 : #2 Req. #2 is 1 times more (*) than Req. #1
Req. #1 : #2 Req. #2 is 2 times more (*) than Req. #3
Req. #2 : #1 Req. #2 is 2 times more (*) than Req. #1
Req. #2 : #1 Req. #1 is 2 times more (*) than Req. #2
Req. #1 : #2 Req. #1 is 2 times more (*) than Req. #2
Reasons for “winning” requirements:
The Requirement #2 is the winner as keeping the track of the pets attendance is one of the important activity in this
scenario.
Part 4: Software Development Methodology
Followed by a thorough analysis on the case scenario it is observed that the owner of Animals R Us & Veterinary
School has expressed their interest towards providing effective services to their clients with several new approaches.
But this process requires a modification on the existing computerized system. Thus, it is decided that the approached
software would be developed by making use of the agile methodology. This methodology is generally used by the teams
generally for the purpose of minimizing the risks which are mainly related to the bugs, cost overruns, and changes in
the requirements (Abrahamsson et al., 2017). This methodology is generally selected whenever a new functionality is
added to an existing system. The teams which are associated with the agile methodology are involved in the
development of the software in iterations. This iterations mainly includes consists of mini-increments of the new
functionality which is to be added. There exists different kind of agile development methods which consists of scrum,
extreme programming crystal and the feature driven development (Alahyari, Svensson and Gorschek 2017).
The primary benefit which is obtained as a result of using this methodology is that, it helps the new feature to be
released in iterations, the iterative release of the new future helps in improving the efficiency. This generally happens

by allowing the teams in finding out and fixing the defects which in turn helps in alignment of the expectations at an
early stage. The methodology is also associated with allowing the users in realizing the different kind of software
benefits at an early stage associated with a frequent increment in the improvement process (Dingsøyr and Lassenius
2016).
However there exists a major disadvantage of using this methodology and that is the agile development method
generally relies upon the real-time communication and for that reason the new users are generally seen to be lacking
the documentation which is needed for getting up to the right speed. The team associated with the development would
be requiring a huge time commitment from the users and the process is also labour intensive as well. The main reason
behind this is that the developers must indulge themselves in the full completion of each of the feature within each
iteration so as to get approval from the users (Hoda et al., 2017).
Below mentioned factors are the major reasons behind using this methodology:
 The major priority of this methodology includes satisfying the customers by means of early as well as continuous delivery of the valuable software.
 This methodology is associated with welcoming the new changes in the requirement even at the late stages of development.
 Delivering of the working software in a frequent manner which seen to be from a couple of weeks to a couple of months with a preference of the
timescale which is seen to be the shortest.
 Building of the entire project around the motivated individuals along with providing them with an environment as well as support which they need and
by trusting upon them so as to get the job done.
Followed by this discussion it can be stated that in this approached project the application of agile methodology will
significantly help to address the user requirement.
