Hands-on Exercise: Identifying Requirements and Objectives for a Sample Web Application

Divide the students into teams.
Provide each team with a hypothetical web application project, e.g., an online event management platform.
Using the Aspects to Consider table above as a reference, ask each team to discuss and identify the project requirements for their assigned web application.
Have each team create a list of objectives for their web application, focusing on the desired outcomes and the value it should provide to users.
Instruct each team to document their identified requirements and objectives using a shared document or project management tool.
This exercise will help students understand the process of identifying project requirements and objectives and provide them with practical experience in gathering and documenting these aspects for a sample web application project.
