Product Champion Responsibilities

The following table identifies some of the requirements engineering activities that
a product champion (a key representative of a specific user class) might perform on
a development project. The exact responsibilities of each product champion should
be negotiated and agreed to by the project’s requirements analyst, the product
champion, and the product champion’s manager.

Planning  Refine the scope and limitations of the Badminton Playground Booking
System: Clarify the boundaries and functionalities of the system in
collaboration with the requirements analyst to make sure it satisfies user and
stakeholder needs.
 Identify other systems with which to interact: Identify any integrations
required, such as payment gateways or notification systems, to ensure seamless
operation.

 Evaluate the impact of the new system on business operations: Assess how the
system will affect existing booking processes and workflows, ensuring a
smooth transition.

 Define a transition path from current applications or manual operations:

Develop a plan to migrate from any existing booking methods to the new
system, minimizing disruption.

 Define relevant standards and certification requirements: Determine any

specific industry standards or certifications the system needs to comply with.

Elicitation and  Collect input on requirements from other users: Gather feedback and
Analysis requirements from various stakeholders, including badminton players, facility
managers, and administrators.

 Develop usage scenarios, use cases, and user stories: Create scenarios and
stories that capture different user interactions and requirements for the booking
system.

 Resolve conflicts between proposed requirements within the user class:

Identify and address any conflicting requirements from different user groups to
find mutually agreeable solutions.

 Define implementation priorities: Collaborate with the development team to

determine the order in which features and functionalities should be
implemented.

 Provide input regarding performance and other quality requirements:

Contribute expertise in specifying performance criteria and other quality
aspects of the system.

 Evaluate prototypes: Test and provide feedback on prototypes or mockups to

ensure they align with user needs and expectations.

 Work with other decision-makers to resolve conflicts among requirements

from different stakeholders: Collaborate with stakeholders to reconcile
conflicting requirements and reach consensus.

  Provide specialized algorithms: If applicable, contribute domain-specific
knowledge or algorithms to enhance the system's functionality.

Validation and  Review requirements specifications: Thoroughly review and validate the
Verification documented requirements to ensure they accurately reflect user needs.

 Define user acceptance criteria: Help establish the criteria that must be met for
the system to be accepted by users.

 Develop acceptance tests from usage scenarios: Define test cases based on
usage scenarios to verify that the system functions correctly.

 Provide test data sets from the business: Supply real or representative test data
sets from the badminton facility's operations for testing purposes.

 Perform beta testing or user acceptance testing: Participate in testing activities,

providing feedback and identifying any issues or areas for improvement.

Preparing User  Write portions of user documentation and help text: Contribute to creating user
Aids guides, manuals, and help text to assist users in understanding and utilizing the
system effectively.

 Contribute to training materials or tutorials: Assist in developing training

materials or tutorials to educate users on how to navigate and use the booking
system.

 Demonstrate the system to peers: Showcase the system's functionality and

benefits to peers, gathering feedback for further improvement.

Change  Evaluate and prioritize defect corrections and enhancement requests: Assess
Management reported defects and enhancement requests, prioritizing them based on their
impact and urgency.

 Dynamically adjust the scope of future releases or iterations: Collaborate with

the development team to accommodate changes and adjust the system's scope
for upcoming releases.

 Evaluate the impact of proposed changes on users and business processes:

Analyze the potential impact of proposed changes on users' experience and the
efficiency of business operations.

 Participate in making change decisions: Contribute to decision-making

processes regarding change requests, considering their feasibility, benefits, and
alignment with project goals.
