Wants indicate what people would like to see in the solution to the business challenge. The development team will incorporate wants that improve the final product and provide value-added features for the users. Constraints play as important a role as requirements. If a final solution does not adhere to the constraints of the business environment the project team risks developing a product that will never be deployed in the business.

To complete this activity you will need the Ferguson and Bardell Inc. case study found in Appendix 1 and the business challenge and vision statement developed in Module 2. Time to complete this activity 30 minutes followed by a 15-minute discussion 46 Activity Determining Requirements Wants and Constraints Exercise 1 Determining Requirements Review case study for requirements 10 minutes 1. Review the case study in light of the business challenge vision statement and requirements. If you have analyzed the use cases and usage scenarios properly you now have a complete description of the processes in Ferguson and Bardell Inc. that relate to the timesheet system. By reviewing the usage scenarios the business challenge and vision statement and the case study you should be able to determine the requirements that are critical from business and user perspectives.
