CASE Review:

Gerhard, a senior manager at Contoso Pharmaceuticals, was meeting with Cynthia, the new

manager of Contosos information systems (IS) development group. "We need to build a

chemical-tracking information system for Contoso," Gerhard began. "The system should let

us keep track of all the chemical containers we already have in the stockroom and in

individual laboratories. That way, maybe the chemists can get what they need from

someone down the hall instead of buying a new container from a vendor. This should

save a lot of money. Also, the Health and Safety Department needs to generate some reports on

chemical usage for the government. Can your group build this system in time for the first

compliance audit five months from now?" "I see why this project is important, Gerhard," said

Cynthia. "But before I can commit to a schedule, well need to collect some requirements

for your system." Gerhard was confused. "What do you mean? I just told you the

requirements." "Actually, you described a concept and some business objectives for the

project," Cynthia explained. "Those high-level business requirements dont give me enough

detail to know what software to build or how long it might take. Id like to have a

requirements analyst work with some of the users to understand their needs for the system.
