ASSIGNMENT 1

DUE DATE: Friday13th April 2012, 6pm at the Lecture Room The problem Located near a major University is the thriving hair dressing salon Sallys Salon. Due to its excellent location and enthusiastic staff the salon has a large clientele drawn from the many students who come to the area each day, the staff of the University, and nearby business and shops. The salon offers a range of services to three main types of clients: the students, who tend to be very fussy and like to keep up with the latest fashion trends, the university staff who favour the short back and sides look, and the clients from the business sector who are more interested in fast service than how they look. Some clients request a particular hair dresser when they make their appointment, which means the staff member requested has to be available on that day and time. With the help of an IT professional, Ms Anna List, Anna will make appointments with the client over the next few weeks to gain a better understanding of the requirements. Your group will be invited to sit in on these interviews and you will be able to take notes during these sessions to ensure you have the correct requirements. You will be notified of the meetings as they become available. Your Task for Assignment 1 You will need to be in a group of 4 or 5 people.
