Converting a Business from a “Bricks and Mortar” Model to an e-Business Model or a Combination: Business Analysis Capstone Assignment, NUI,

Capstone Project Overview

1. The Project

a. The project for this program is not a stand-alone module; rather it is integrated with the three modules. The Project will be supervised and monitored by the Course Director.

b. The project will involve learners using the skills learned in each module to investigate and report on a problem typically faced by a Business Analyst. As 60% of the assessment for each module is project-related, learners must demonstrate they will have achieved the learning outcomes from each of the three modules.

c. This means that learners will have to:

1. Demonstrate the effect of the change on an organization resulting from their chosen project (Management of Change Module)
2. Gather and analyze the requirements for their chosen project using recognized techniques (Business Systems Analysis Module)
3. Communicate their findings in a clear and professional report and/or presentation (Communications Module)

2. Indicative projects include, but are not limited to:

• Converting a business from a “bricks and mortar” model to an e-Business model or a combination of both.

• Setting up a new IT system in an organization

• Process Improvement for an existing business application such as:
  1. Customer Relationship Management
  2. Knowledge Management
  3. Supply Chain Management

• Implementation of multiple projects simultaneously

• Re-engineering of offshore business processes.
