,List of the Client Requirements
I am a junior employee who is currently working at a small development company.
The company is specialised in software development and we’re not a big company.
However, this company has managed to invite me to a school that enjoyed the
lecture that I gave talking about algorithms and software development. The school
has now asked me to create them a program that will be used for their upcoming
sports and academic competitions that is planned to take place at the school. They
have listed the requirements that is going to be needed within the algorithm:
1. They want to make it so that the participants of the competition are able to
enter it as a team or as an individual student.
2. They expect it so that there can only be 4 teams. The team must have up to
5 participants.
3. Each team and participate will be able to complete upto 5 events
4. Each event will be defined as an individual and team event.
5. The event will vary from sporting events to academic events.
6. Individual and teams will be awarded points depending on the rank they get
in the sporting and academic event
7. They have asked me to decide on a pointing system for the ranks they get.
8. The college would like me to make it so that teams and students will be able
to participate in one event.
These are the client requirements that they have given me, however some parts are
not clear since they have asked me to create a points system that works well with
the competition. Furthermore, they have also asked me to decide on the sporting
and academic events they are to do.
