Student Enrollment System - waterfall and scrum method

WATERFALL METHOD

Requirements – this is the very first phase in the waterfall method. This is where the requirements and specification of the system must be recorded and gathered through documentation. In a Student Enrollment System, what is being asked in this phase is that all of the needed data such as transactions, processes, operations, logical aspects and manipulation.

Design – after knowing what are the exact data that has been gathered it will be transformed into information. And this information will now be used as a basis on how you are going to design your system. In the same manner, in a student enrollment system, your design must be derived and compatible to the specification of the one who requested the system like the formation and positioning of the interface, the first overview when the system is being launched, what are the transactions and how it will be implemented and also the gathering of the inputs that will be coming from the user.

Implementation - when the designing is being done it will now proceed to actual programming in which the system is being tested. The Student Enrollment System will now be launched to the department which it will be used.

Verification – after being implemented and tested, it will now undergo thorough evaluation if the system that was being created and programmed reaches the same specification as what is being required. It will test the system if the input of the user is valid or invalid and as well as the sequencing of the transactions. There will also be an evaluation for the proper prompting during and between implemented transactions.

Maintenance – since the whole system is now being created, run and evaluated it will now undergo to its maintenance which falls to the requirement of not just sustaining but upgrading what is being needed for the system to be useful. In a system for student enrollment there will be instances that the transactions will change. In this manner the system must be updated to maintain its proper and correctness of its use.

SCRUM METHOD

Using Scrum Method in Student Enrollment System:

                This might be very useful most especially to a company or group of people whom considering teamwork as their means in creating an effective project. Since we are about to create a System for Student Enrollment, the tasks are being divided accordingly to the different expertise of every department.

Preparation – Since this will be the very first phase of the method, the concept of the transactions and processes of the student enrollment must be analyzed. This will allow you to identify what are the functions must be conducted in the system like the need of gathering of data, registration, evaluation, subject and section assignments, designing of the system architecture and many things to consider. After knowing all about the system requirements and specification, you can now identify the cost and also how long will it take for this system to be successfully implemented.

Scrum Process – being able to know the system very well, it will be easy for the people who will create and program the system. You will be undergoing development of the said system including on considering the usability and correctness of the flow of the Student Enrollment System. After that it will now be undergoing test to evaluate if the system meets its specific requirements which will be very critical for the conditioning and defining the proper ability of the system. It is being evaluated also to review the system. Reviewing will lead to adjusting if there is/are errors and mistakes in the system this will allow to reprogram.

Release – the implementation of the system will be happened in this phase. The system will now be used by the personnel who will conduct the enrollment. If there will still errors, it will be debugged in order to get the desired system for enrolling students. The implementation will be very useful to know the actual performance of the system.
