Online Roster System: Project Report on System Requirements and Design

This report provides a comprehensive overview of an Online Roster System project. It begins with an abstract summarizing the system's purpose: to facilitate employee attendance tracking and leave management for HR and management. The introduction highlights the system's cloud-based implementation and its role in managing employee rosters efficiently. The report outlines the project's aim, which is to develop a system for admin control and data management. It includes a detailed project management plan, encompassing a project charter, work breakdown structure (WBS), project schedule, and risk management analysis. The requirements document details user requirements for HR, management, and employees, alongside system and domain requirements, functional, and non-functional requirements. Use case diagrams illustrate user interactions with the system, followed by a conclusion summarizing the project's scope and findings. Appendices include use case details and a system prototype, providing a complete view of the project's design and implementation.

Abstract
The report reflects the project overview and system requirement specification of the Online
Roster System. This system will be developed so that HR and management can easily track and
control the employee attendance. The employee can request for leave through this system. Each
user will have different actions to complete in this system. The report shares three use case
diagrams for three users. These use case diagrams clearly represented the interaction between the
user and system.

3ONLINE ROSTER SYSTEM
Introduction:
The information system can be referred as the integrated collection of technical
equipment that are used for gathering, recording and executing information and in order to
provide knowledge, information and digital products (Sanchez and Terlizzi 2017). Various
organizations depend on the information system for executing and managing business operations.
The Online Roster System is a type of information system that allows managing the roster of the
employee very easily. The proposed Online Roster System will be implemented in the cloud
which will increase availability.
The report is created based on the requirements of Online Roster System. The report
includes the base idea of the project for implementing the Online Roster System. Report also
concentrates on the Online Roster System’s requirements to highlight the technical aspects of the
system. The use case diagram is used for showing the interaction between the users and the
system. The prototype shows the font end of the system.
Aim:
The aim of the project is to develop a system that will allow the admin to manage the
employee roster. The system will be associated with a database system that can handle the data
processes. The purpose of the system will be easy storage, retrieval and modification of data. The
project will be capable of entertaining new requirements throughout the project life cycle.
