Movies on Demand System
A system is required to provide a means for subscribers to the BlueSkyBird interactive TV
service to select and pay for movies-on-demand. The list of movies available for viewing will
include the cost and running time of each movie. Movies will be paid for using a prepaid card
inserted into the set-top box. Movies can be paid for in advance, and can be cancelled with
full refund provided; this is done before the movie starts. Cards can be topped up at any time
using a credit card through the interactive TV service. At any time, subscribers can request
the balance on their card.

2. Stakeholders: Identify all stakeholders and their roles in the Movies on Demand
System and document using:
A) Onion model (use Onion Model Template)
B) List of stakeholder roles (use Stakeholder Roles Template)
A project stakeholder is someone who gains or losses something (could be functionality,
revenue, status, compliance with rules, and so on) as a result of that project. In other words, a
stakeholder is much more than a product’s eventual "user." A stakeholder can be someone
who finances the project; someone whose skill is needed to build a product, such as a
network specialist or a usability expert; an organization whose rules developers must obey,
such as a tax lawyer firm or a standards institute; or an external organization that can
influence project success, such as an environmental group or a competitor. Given this wide
and complex project sociology, it helps to have some way of modelling the stakeholders and
their differing involvements.
We have used an onion diagram (see Figure 1). This deceptively simple-looking model
actually conceals information about the system of movie on demand. First, it presents a view
of the project that centres on what we’re building. It is called as the kit, the equipment, or
the product that is in our case is Movie on Demand, which includes generic slots for the
people who operate and maintain the equipment and deliver its results, as well as any
standard rules or procedures they use to operate it. These directly interacting roles don’t
begin to exhaust the range of stakeholder responsibilities in a development project. Systems
invariably operate in a containing system that is outside the project’s control and mentioned
as the Market for cable operatives that includes our system plus any of its nonoperational
beneficiaries. Normally, the people who benefit from the product work in the market
otherwise, the product is running only for its own benefit! We call these people functional
beneficiaries “subscribers” to distinguish them from operators. In this special case where you
buy a movie on demand just for your own benefit or enjoyment, and you operate it yourself,
you are a (device) user/subscriber, which is considered as hybrid role that crosses the "our
system" boundary. The term properly applies only to such hybrid roles in mass-market
product developments. Normal operators operate equipment so as to deliver the results to the
subscribers, who in turn work in the market for other stakeholders in the wider environment,

which includes the containing system plus any other stakeholders who affect decisions we
make about our system. These are the agents that are used to control the social and legal
obligations to have a better control over the culture norms and values.

needs
Hybrid Role Users/ Subscribers To have the best vulgarity free and good print
movies.
In the very next figure: 2 the roles of every stakeholder are clearly mentioning where they are
interrelating with each other. Every stakeholder is playing its vital role in the system
development. Within the system and in the market the stakeholders like operatives and the
subscribers have a certain pressure over the product mangers to maintain good price,
excellent quality and the new movies to be introduced as early as possible. Similarly if the
role is a little bit broaden up then in the wider environment shareholders have a pressure over
the mangers to maintain good profits and success of the project while the a continuous
competition pressurizes the management to innovate and have low prices in the market.
While on the other side in wider environment the people and the government have their own
role on the management to control the vulgarity and sexuality exposure in the movies. Here
except the competitors and some opposition politicians play a negative role while all the other
stakeholders are performing positive role for the corrective and for the success of the system.

4. Requirements from Individuals: Write your interview questions for one of the
stakeholders with an operational role identified in Task 2. Start with stating what
the main objective of the interview is?
All the projects that we work on seem to have one thing in common: developers are
concerned about the difficulty of involving the right stakeholders to discover, specify, and
test requirements. Because right stakeholder is the person who can help us to have a better
overview of the project and the system. And it also helps us to make an appropriate change
in the system according to the needs and requirements. We have the Stakeholder interview to
better understand what people mean when they say, "We have a problem with our
stakeholders." We asked each participant to choose one stakeholder concern that causes the
biggest problem in his or her environment. The objective was to discover which concerns are
the most frequent and where we should focus our improvement efforts.

Here we have developed an interview with the operational level with the normal operatives.
These are the stakeholders who are the users and subscribers of the system by themselves and
also work for the organization as in its operational level. We choose them because they can
give the overview from both inner and outer side of the system. This will help us to better
understand about the system and we can judge where we are required with an improvement
and change to make our system more efficient and appropriate to use.
