State whether the suggestion of using the previous event program and desktop research for the NAIDOC week events is an appropriate method of requirements gathering? Briefly explain your answer.
Requirements traceability
As multiple campuses will be involved in the project, the project board has requested requirements be tracked centrally. What document is used to track or ‘trace’ requirements throughout the project life cycle?
Requirements prioritization process
The project board are concerned they may have competing requirements from a number of stakeholders. To manage this they would like to define a requirement prioritisation process that can be shared with all stakeholders prior to requirements gathering and want to use the MoSCoW technique for this purpose. List the four components of the MoSCoW technique

Communication method |
PULL or PUSH |
Justification |
|
Meeting |
PULL |
The meeting is mainly arranged so that the project managers can be able to insist both the students as well as employees of the university to engage in the NAIDOC week celebration in the CQ university (Mir & Pinnington, 2014). |
|
|
PUSH |
The project organizer mainly orders the project team members to finish the entire event organization within the provided deadline by utilizing the budget that is approved. |
|
Presentation |
PULL |
The project organizer mainly arranges a video conference with the employees of the organization so that they can be capable of reflecting the significance of the students among the employees so that they can be able get interested for involving within the event (Ridani et al., 2015). |
|
Video conference |
PULL |
The program co-ordinator motivates the project team members so that they can be capable of working effectively within the project. |
It is identified that is not suitable to have one stakeholders who holds the entire responsibility of all the campuses on which the college is situated. It is because that it is not possible for one single person to review all the campuses of the university at a specific time. Therefore, it is essential to have different owner for various campus of the university so that the stakeholder can be able to spent proper time on analyzing as well as gathering data and information about the campus appropriately by spending proper amount of time (Riol & Thuillier, 2015). Hence it is identified that one single stakeholder is appointed for one specific campus of the university.
Acknowledgement of country is mainly found as the most suitable style of statement for the campus leaders instead of “Welcome to country” because welcoming to country is not proper statement for the people who belongs outside the country and came for studying in the University of CQU. The foreigners just wants to acknowledge only by the name of their country. Therefore, as the event comprises of people of both outside as well as from inside the country therefore it will be proper to utilize acknowledge of country as the style of statement (Rose, 2013).
It is found that it is not appropriate method of gathering requirement because both the project varies in context to needs as well as requirements. Thus, it is very much necessary to properly analyze the requirements of the entire project effectively in order to analyze the event successfully (Svejvig & Andersen, 2015). It is quite important for the project designer to change the entire idea of the event according to the requirements of the project as if same activities are used in both the projects then chances of creating problem arises.
Justification
It is identified that central resource log database is mainly used for tracking or tracing the requirements within the entire project life cycle.
Requirement prioritization is a technique that is used for dealing the relative significance as well as urgency of numerous requirements in order to cope with the different types of project resources. It is very much essential to communicate properly with the project stakeholders because stakeholders of the project plays an important role in classifying the requirement of the project (Truong, Paradies & Priest, 2014).
MoSCoW technique is mainly considered as one of the technique of prioritization that is mainly utilized for reaching on the understanding with the different project stakeholders. The various types of MoSCoW technique are provided below:
· Must have: This training is helpful in delivering proper information that is related with the indigenous people.
· Should have: The CQUniversity NAIDOC celebration should create the platform for both employees and staffs of the CQU to interact properly with the indigenous people.
· Could have: The SET indigenous committee could have allowed both staffs as well as students within the CQU University for interacting with the indigenous people.
- Won’t have:The week celebration won’t include practical training session.
The scope of the project mainly include:
- Development of NADOIC week celebration within CQU University
- To engage both staffs and employees within the week celebration
- To finish the project within 50 days by utilizing budget of around $37,24
