Using Mindomo, teams analyze the EOI of the project, and, together, organize the Capstone Project, identify stakeholders for the proposed system, brainstorm and elicit the business requirements, identify and propose functional areas of the system to be developed and discuss risks associated with the project that must be managed. Teams prepare for the development of the project by setting up required management and development tools.
Feel free to change the mind-map template to customize the ideation space to something that is inspiring to the team.

Product non-functional requirements affect the functionality of the product and indicate qualitative attributes, constraints or integration requirements.
Identify a coherent series of stories that describe, from a stakeholder perspective, the basic requirements / needs that the system would have to fulfill in order to be a valuable addition in the domain as evidenced by the project mentor’s experience.
Business requirements are not related to the system itself but represent the motivation of WHY the system is needed. Business requirements represent are the result of analyzing the real-world problems identified and formalize which problems will the system focus on and their details.
Business requirements will represent the start for the requirements analysis process. Teams will derive user requirements from here in future assignments.
Analyze the EOI / RFC and determine the business goals for the system to be developed. Each business goal represents a collection of business requirements.

Identify the business requirements for the system under discussion.
Each requirement is expressed using the 'story format' which identifies the stakeholder as well as the context for each business requirement.
A business goal represents a collection of business requirements.
Describe the business requirement in a story format:
'As a <business stakeholder>, I want to <business requirement> so that <business goal>'
Describe the user requirement in a story format:
'As an <actor>, I want to <user requirement>, so that <business requirement or an aspect of a business requirement>'
Each user requirement will become a use-case in the requirements model and in the JIRA project.

Functional System Requirement 1.1.2
Functional System Requirement 1.1.1
Functional requirements describe how the user will achieve their goals which is what developers have to implement. Functional requirements will represent user-stories that are allocated to a sprint, broken into dev tasks and worked on.
Identify and describe the role of the domain stakeholders in the proposed project as described by the project mentor. Stakeholders are not for the development process but domain stakeholders (e.g. different types of users, organization, government, licensing bodies, clients etc)
Each member of the team champions a stakeholder in order to ensure that they are considered in project planning, risk management and architecture discussions.
For each stakeholder, brainstorm the answers to the following questions throughout the ideation process:
Identify and describe the role of the domain stakeholders in the proposed project as described by the project mentor. Stakeholders are not for the development process but domain stakeholders (e.g. different types of users, organization, government, licensing bodies, clients etc)
Identify the stakeholder name (not a a person's name but a role)
Each member of the team champions a stakeholder in order to ensure that they are considered in project planning, risk management and architecture discussions.
Describe the type of system that will be built according to the classifications discussed in Software Engineering. Using subtopics identify the main characteristics of the application and its features. A few paragraphs describing the purpose of the application, the problem it is intended to solve, the feasibility, and the impact of the project.
Every member of the team plays a significant role in each of the software engineering activities that are carried out. This demonstrates your expertise in conducting the necessary activities to develop a system.
Communication Support
Tools and Device Support
Test Model Lead
Suggested responsibility of the project owner.
Verification & Validation Champion (by Functional Area)
Suggested responsibility for the functional area champion.
QA Lead
Suggested responsibility for the Risk Analyst.
Full-Stack Developer
Each team member must fulfill the role of a full-task developer that is responsible for developing UI, code, and unit tests for the code written. Work should be divided such that students can work independently of each other as soon as possible to allow for different rates of development and decrease project management risks.
Integration / DevOps Lead
One team member takes the lead on setting up the integration / dev-ops infrastructure. As integration is a major risk area, this is the suggested responsibility for the Risk Analyst.
Interaction Model Lead
Deployment Model Lead
Design Model Lead
Suggested responsibility for the Software Architect.
Domain Model Lead
Requirements Model Lead
Software Architect
Suggested responsibility for the SCRUM Master.
Suggested responsibility for the SCRUM Master. The SCRUM master is responsible for the success of the sprint, making sure that all stories are broken down into dev tasks by each developer and that they are carried out correctly. The SCRUM master must recognize and resolve issues that would prevent the sprint from completing successfully. Typically this requires an in-depth understanding of the system which is usually gained by leading the software architecture effort.
Each team member will have a significant role to play in requirements engineering for your project but the requirements analyst will lead this activities.
User Experience Design Lead
A single member of the team shall holder this responsibility which should be assigned to the team member with most experience and interest in UI design, wire-framing and HCI.

Functional Area Champion (by Functional Area)
Each member of the team must be responsible for at least one distinct and significant functional area.
Stakeholder Champion (by Stakeholder)
Each member of the team must be responsible for at least one distinct and significant stakeholder.
Requirements / Business Analyst
Suggested responsibility for the Project Owner.
Suggested responsibility for the Project Owner. Leading requirements engineering goes hand in hand with the project management role of a 'project owner'. The PO has to establish priorities of various features, ensure the details are present to allow design and development. The PO also communicates with stakeholders to ensure everyone is on the same page.
Each team member should have a project management role. Each of these roles is critical to the success of the project. Review the roles in your sprint retrospectives and change them as necessary if you learn that different members are better suited for different roles.
Risk Analyst
SCRUM Master
Project Owner
When you think you have enough details, identify the main points that should be covered by your project abstract. A good abstract is concise while describing the motivation/purpose of the project and the main characteristics/components of the solution.
Identify three (maximum four) major functional areas of the project. Functional areas are used to group user requirements (use-cases) and represent distinct, non-overlapping, highly cohesive and loosely coupled areas of functionality in the project and are the basis of decomposition of the requirements model.

Using subtopics identify the main characteristics of the application and its features. As you progress through your Capstone, keep coming back to this ideation surface when you think of new features.
Identify the name of the feature. Using sub-topics, ideate the benefits, the risks, and various feature characteristics.
Feature detail
It doesn't have to be the final name but coming up with a smart project name is fun and challenging. A good project name can go a long way towards the success of the project.
