15. Initial Investigation/Planning
For starters, how do you find the system requirements,
how do you calculate the cost?”
finding the requirements of a system (ecommerce website) it whole process on it own.
You must go trough the company’s document’s and see how it operates, talk to the employees on different things they;
you might do that by using questioners or conducting interviews.
Then talk to the customers and everyone involved in the day to day activity of the company.
