INF2009F – First Workshop 2019

Kicking off the RestEasy Hotels Development project.

• At each workshop you will tackle one or more of the tasks required to
develop a Business Case and Functional Specification to resolve the
problems currently facing the RestEasy Hotels group.
• After the workshop, your teams of 2 will complete and capture each
deliverable into Visio or MS/Word to construct the two main assignments
for the course – your Business Case and Requirements Specification. You
will get detailed guidelines on what is required for each assignment in due
course.
• Workshop 1 is a kick-off workshop for you to settle in. On the 7th March
2019 we will start building a Business Case to determine whether we
should go ahead with the project.

Workshop 1 - 21st February

• Object Oriented Mini Quiz
• RestEasy Mini Quiz
• Model a Business Process using an Activity Diagram

Golden rules for Workshops

• No perfect solutions – depends on assumptions - some solutions more
elegant than others.
• Keep on asking yourself – why am I doing this – does it make sense.
• Important that you have resources to reference and carry information to
the next stage of the project (bring your text book, lecture notes, prior
workshop deliverables and project working papers to each workshop).
• Students form groups of 4 (no larger).
• Important that you discuss and argue – but watch your time.
• Each individual (or team) should take away a copy of their work. In
addition, one member of the group should be elected as scribe for the day
and build the group’s best solution for the exercises given (you can also
share this responsibility). This solution is handed in, marked and returned
to the group at the next workshop.
• We are not looking to finish the project deliverables in these sessions –
just to get started and understand how to continue.
• Everyone in the group gets involved with each exercise – do not split up
the work and focus on a single task.
• Group leaves together when the group solution is handed in.
Hopefully you will find these workshops a useful and enjoyable way of
learning how to develop computer systems
