Short Paper: Requirement Gathering

Often developers are tasked with gathering the requirements for a program on their own. They may be tasked with defining the problem and then defining the solution along with developing the program.

Using the problem below, write a short paper on the problem you are trying to solve and how your application will address this issue. If you need to create your own class with your own methods, elaborate of what those methods would be. If they are value-returning, what are the parameters? Lastly, what is the overall impact of your application?

THE PROBLEM

Peace Corps Volunteers are widely dispersed in the countries where they serve. However, Peace Corps’ medical supplies are often located at the post headquarters which can be over a day’s travel for many Volunteers. When Volunteers use the medical supplies that have been provided by Peace Corps they need a way to request replenishment of their supplies so the medical staff can send them out with the next quarterly replenishment schedule.

Currently Peace Corps medical staff commented that Volunteer requests come in through various means (email, text, call, walk-ins, etc.). It requires a significant amount of their time to manage these requests that come in various forms and they don’t have a centralized way to manage them. .

THE IDEA

94% of Volunteers can communicate with their cell phones from their site. (2012 Annual Volunteer Survey)

91% of Volunteers have to travel less than two hours to access the internet (2012 Annual Volunteer Survey)

Thus, Peace Corps Volunteers already have access to cell phone and the internet but what Peace Corp’s is missing is an application to facilitate this process of requesting and replenishing medical supplies.

Develop an application so Volunteers can request replenishment of their Peace Corps medical supplies through cell phone text-messages and an online web-form.

CONSIDERATIONS

Some information that would need to be collected for each request of medical supplies includes: PCV Name, staging group, site, regional PC hub/center, date of request, when they’d like the delivery of the medical supplies (a drop down list of the next replenishment schedule), or if the Volunteer is going to be traveling through a Peace Corps office they can indicate the date when they can pick-up the supplies. PCVs should have a space to request multiple supplies and the quantities associated with them. The application format can be standard for all countries, but some of the information regarding the list supplies to be replenished and the schedule will need to be modified for each country.

THE IMPACT

Having your help to create an application that can be used with text-messages and through an online web form would help each Peace Corps country’s medical staff to: easily coordinate order requests, inventory tracking, and prepare quarterly distribution of medical supplies. It would help reduce the administrative and time burden on medical staff and allow for Volunteers to order their NPMS supplies in a more efficient manner.
