Facts about the current business:
1. All stores are located in large shopping malls and carry the same merchandise.
2. Jewelry lines include women's lines for necklaces, earrings, and bracelets in the range of the $50 - $200 price
range.
3. Approximately 500 items are available for sale in each retail location.
4. A central warehouse is maintained in one of the larger cities and supplies all of the retail stores.
Facts about the project:
1. The Senior Business Systems Analyst in the Information Systems Department has been assigned to manage
the requirements discovery phase of this project.
2. Time frames of the project are very tight because management wants the system implemented in time for the
Christmas holiday season. It is currently April and a due date of October 1st has been requested.
3. Your initial assignment is for the key system owners and users – the Chief Retail Officer (CRO), Chief Financial
Officer (CFO), Chief Merchandising Officer (CMO), and Chief Information Officer (CIO) -- to gather an initial
set of high-level business requirements. The Senior Business Systems Analyst will coordinate and facilitate a
Joint Application Development (JAD) meeting to accomplish this task.
4. Because all of the key stakeholders are extremely busy and frequently travel on business, it is not feasible for
them to meet in person. Therefore, the meeting will be coordinated using e-mail, a SharePoint site, and will
be held online in a Web conferencing environment.
5. Because the time of all of the key stakeholders is extremely valuable, the JAD meeting itself will be limited to
one hour maximum.
6. The President/CEO may or may not attend the JAD meeting, depending on his or her other commitments.

You will be assigned to play the role of one of the participants in this JAD meeting. You should participate actively in
the pre-meeting activities (scheduling and agenda preparation) and the meeting itself, all the while keeping in character
with your assigned role.
All of the above information is known to all participants. In addition, you will receive a Cast of Characters with additional
public information about all of the characters, and a Role Sheet with additional background on your character and some
private information known only by you. It is up to you whether, when, and how to share any or all of your private
information with others on your team.
Upon completing this lab, you will be able to:
Learn how to facilitate and elicit requirements for a business information system from a group of diverse users;
Also experience the conflict that may exist between users who have their own specialized need for the planned
information system;
Practice the tasks associated with planning and conducting a meeting, including scheduling, preparing, and
distributing an agenda by using an electronic collaboration support system (SharePoint); and
Learn and practice communication techniques and mechanical skills for meeting with a geographically
dispersed group in a Web conferencing environment.
Necessary materials: All materials marked with * are already installed in your lab environment.

All Steps
Lab Steps STEP 1: Read and analyze background information
1. Carefully read the Scenario/Summary above and identify the key system owners and users, and key issues
affecting the project.
2. Download and read the Cast of Characters document from the iLab Filesarea of Doc Sharing for more
information about each of the stakeholders.
3. After you have been assigned a role in this scenario by the instructor, go to the Doc Sharing tab on our course
site, and use the drop-down list to select the area for your assigned role. Download your Role Sheet and read
it carefully. Consider how your character's background and goals relate to the project.
STEP 2: Schedule JAD meeting
1. Log in to the Citrix iLab. (For help with logging in, see the iLab page under Course Home.)
2. On the main iLab applications menu, click the icon labeledBIS261 iLabs SharePoint Siteto go to the
SharePoint site for BIS261.
3. Click the link for this section of BIS261 to go to your course section, SharePoint site. Links to course section,
SharePoint sites are on the right side of the page. For online courses, the link to your course section will be in
the form BIS261sxxxyyz, where s = the section letter (A, B, C, etc.), xxx = the semester (SPR, SUM, or FAL),
yy = the year, and z = the session (A or B). For example, the link to the online section A for Summer 2011
Session B would be BIS261ASUM11B. For campus courses, the link is preceded by a three-letter campus
identifier. For example, the link to the Pomona campus section A for Summer 2011 Session B would be
POMBIS261ASUM11B.
4. On the main page of your course section, SharePoint site, click the link to go to the SharePoint site for your
team. Links to the team sites are on the left side of the page. Each link ends with the team letter (_A, _B, and
so on). Your team assignment will be provided to you by your professor. Contact your professor if you are not
sure of your team assignment.
5. On your team SharePoint site, edit your own entry in the Attendees list to indicate the days and times when
you are available to meet. To do so, click on the Edit icon beside your name; enter the dates and times when
you are available in the Comments field; and click OK.
6. After all team members have posted their schedules, the team member assigned the Business Systems
Analyst role should determine a time when all members are available, and schedule the meeting on the
calendar on the section SharePoint site. If there is no time when all members are available, some negotiation
by e-mail or telephone may be necessary to determine a mutually agreeable time.
To schedule the meeting on the SharePoint calendar, do the following:
On your course section, SharePoint site (not your team site), under Calendar on the right side of the page,
click Add new event;
Enter a title, start time, and end time for your meeting, and click OK;

Attendees list, and adding an event to the calendar.
