4. Business Analysis techniques to clarify the scenario:

explain. The Following Mind map made using the tool micro.com
5. Mock up: Designed in PowerPoint
6. Description of how the user interface meets the business needs identified in the
scenario.

The scenario chosen is enrolling a new member in the system. As the Employee ID has
already been given to the employee, it can be used as the reference to enroll into the
system themselves.

If the Employee Id is not in the database, we shall show the information that “EMP ID” is
wrong and restrict them from enrolling in the system.

The necessary information shall be obtained from the UI in order to enroll them.

Note: We also can get the all these information during the signup itself. But I believe this
is the easy and best practice to obtain the information as the member shall have the
privilege to update the information whenever they want.
