Business Quest Unit: Criterion A: Inquiring and Analysis

Challenge
Many businesses have problems that can be solved easily by introducing new or existing information technology solutions. The digital solutions can transform a business in terms of sales or enhance the organization's and the documentation of the business operations.
Your task is to identify a business related challenge that can be addressed or solved using an IT based solution. The problem should be clearly described and the client's current way of addressing the situation described. The problem description should include the current limitations the client is facing and detailed explanation of why you think an IT solution will be the best. 

Criterion A: Inquiring and analysing
Maximum: 8
Students identify the need for a solution to a problem. At the end of year 5, students should be able to:
      i.        explain and justify the need for a solution to a problem for a specified client/target audience
     ii.        identify and prioritize primary and secondary research needed to develop a solution to the problem
   iii.        analyse a range of existing products that inspire a solution to the problem
    iv.        develop a detailed design brief, which summarizes the analysis of relevant research.


Achievement level
Level descriptor
0
The student does not reach a standard described by any of the descriptors below.
1–2
The student:
      i.        states the need for a solution to a problem for a specified client/target audience
     ii.        develops a basic design brief, which states the findings of relevant research.
3–4
The student:
      i.        outlines the need for a solution to a problem for a specified client/target audience
     ii.        outlines a research plan, which identifies primary and secondary research needed to develop a solution to the problem, with some guidance
   iii.        analyses one existing product that inspires a solution to the problem
    iv.        develops a design brief, which outlines the analysis of relevant research.
5–6
 The student:
     ii.        explains the need for a solution to a problem for a specified client/target audience
   iii.        constructs a research plan, which identifies and prioritizes primary and secondary research needed to develop a solution to the problem, with some guidance
    iv.        analyses a range of existing products that inspire a solution to the problem
     v.        develops a design brief, which explains the analysis of relevant research.
7–8
The student:
      i.        explains and justifies the need for a solution to a problem for a client/ target audience
     ii.        constructs a detailed research plan, which identifies and prioritizes the primary and secondary research needed to develop a solution to the problem independently
   iii.        analyses a range of existing products that inspire a solution to the problem in detail
    iv.        develops a detailed design brief, which summarizes the analysis of relevant research.
