Task 2.02 “To-be” design activity diagram
Task 2.03 Organisational change
The analysis of existing business operations within Su Ying’s Noodle Bar has reflected
that they are facing difficulties with their manual system. Hence, it has been decided that a new
information system along with website will prove to be beneficial for their business. The website
will help to take the orders online so that there will be no errors or mistaking of orders as the
customers will be able to see the different items before placing an order. The information system
will help to perform the business operations smoothly and efficiently. The information system
will also cater the needs of the business activities.

Task 2.05 Acceptance Criteria
The major acceptance criteria for the new system is the user interface that means the
users must be able to easily understand the functionality being offered by every component. The
interface must be user friendly so that users can easily operate the system and does not face
difficulty while accessing the system. The presentation of the system should be well defined and
structured so that the modules within the system can be easily understood by the users. The
security measure is also an important aspect of acceptance so proper security measure have also
to be implemented as the system will record the information of customers as well as business
related documents.

Task 2.06 Applications Architecture
Task 2.07 Report to Client
The supplier selection was carried out with the help of various steps that comprise of
firstly identifying the suppliers based on requirements specification. Then the supplier selection
process was started by collecting data from the suppliers and shortlisting them on that basis.
After that, evaluation of the sample was carried out to determine feasibility of the supplier.
Technical review was done as a due diligence process and cross functional visit was made to
determine suitability of the supplier.

Task 2.08 Agile and Waterfall differences
The key differences that exist between the Agile and Waterfall approach is illustrated as
below:
Pros Cons
Waterfall
Approach
 Simple and easily understood by the
developers.
 Clear documentation of all phases
 Provides high visibility to developers
 No requirement of engaging customers
in later phases (Serrador and Pinto
2015)
 Deadline can be easily controlled
 It is rigid and does not provided
flexibility to easily change
requirements during development
phase
 Identification of progress is difficult
 Expensive than other approaches
(Hiekata et al. 2016)
 Completion time may vary if project
assumptions are not done correctly
Agile
Approach
 Focuses on team collaboration
 Development is much quicker and
easier
 Cost efficient and cost can be easily
managed (Komai, Saidi and Nakanishi
2016)
 Involvement of customer at every step
 Cost is not always predictable
 Difficult to understand but suitable for
large projects
 Easily development can be achieved
with the support of customers by
providing resources

Task 2.09 Video Transcript
First of all, I would like to thank you for your kind consideration to give me this
opportunity to carry out your project. As we all know this project is related to Su Ying’s Noodle
Bar which is very popular in among the residents and nearby famers of Farawaytown located in
remote northern China. The increase in their reputation is attracting more and more customers so
it is getting difficult for them to handle their business operations manually. I have undertaken
this project to propose an information system along with website which help them to handle their
business operations smoothly and efficiently. So, in the first assignment I have identified the
different modules that will be included in the system and presented them with the help of use
case diagrams. I have identified the various stakeholders who will be associated with the system
and I have also conducted MoSCoW analysis to determine their requirements. A “AS-IS”
process diagram was designed to present the existing system within the business however it has
been modified in assignment as “TO-BE” design to demonstrate the process that will be followed
after implementation of the new system.
In assignment 2, I have conducted a thorough analysis of activities that are required for
fulfilling the assignment criteria and the business requirements of Su Ying’s Noddle Bar. I have
also presented discussions on the impact of new system on the business. After that, I have
developed the screen designs after analyzing the identified two must user stories from
assignment 1. Then, I have also written the acceptance criteria for the designed screens from
identified user stories. I have designed the screens using Balsamiq Mockup tool which is a
powerful tool for designing interfaces. I have also drawn the application architecture diagram
with the help of MS Visio application for the system to demonstrate the various interfaces. After
that, I was involved with writing the executive summary to be included for presenting report to

client to explaining the undertaken processes. Finally, I have presented illustrations on the key
differences existing between Agile and Waterfall approach so that proper decision can be made
to select the right system development methodology. Lastly, I would like to thank you for your
kind patience and hearing.
