Unit Synopsis
This unit introduces you to a high-level view of enterprise analysis with an emphasis on gathering stakeholder requirements for analysing and proposing the requirement specifications for an enterprise system. You will use tools and techniques that model the stakeholder requirements and analysis stages.

Unit Availabilities from Term 1 - 2025
Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.
Assessment Tasks
| Assessment Task | Weighting |
|---|---|
| 1. Written Assessment | 30% |
| 2. Online Quiz(zes) | 20% |
| 3. Written Assessment | 50% |
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%).

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Integrating enterprise modelling concepts and tools into the unit would greatly enhance students' understanding of real-world scenario.
Identify and incorporate enterprise modelling concepts and tools that are relevant to the unit.
This has been implemented. To enhance students' understanding of real-world scenarios, enterprise modelling concepts have been integrated into the unit. The ArchiMate modelling tool has been introduced as part of this improvement.

The relevance of cybersecurity to enterprise analysis is not sufficiently addressed.
Identify the critical role of cybersecurity in enterprise analysis and incorporate this into the unit content, emphasising its importance for effective risk management and the protection of sensitive information.
This has been implemented. The unit content has been updated to highlight the critical role of cybersecurity in enterprise analysis. New materials and examples have been added to emphasise its importance in managing risks and protecting sensitive information.

The clear and knowledgeable explanation of enterprise analysis and modelling techniques (e.g., business process modelling, stakeholder analysis, and capability mapping) was helpful to students in understanding complex concepts and their practical application.
Incorporate more industry-based examples or case studies to illustrate how enterprise modelling techniques are applied in real business contexts. This will help students better understand their practical value.

The unit content and teaching approach challenged me to think critically and ask deeper questions about enterprise analysis and modelling.
Use real-world business scenarios each week to get students thinking. Ask open-ended questions to guide their exploration and problem-solving. Let them create models or analyse situations using standard tools, then reflect on their choices. Encourage students to share and discuss their work with classmates.
In Progress
On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:
- Compare and contrast general and conflicting organisation-specific technical issues in enterprise systems and organisational change
- Identify critical situations and analyse the business needs of an organisation to develop appropriate computing strategies to address ill-defined situations
- Evaluate alternative approaches to implement enterprise systems within an organisation
- Develop innovative approaches for the implementation of enterprise systems based on contemporary practices
- Apply enterprise analysis skills to identify and analyse the root causes of a given enterprise problem and develop recommendations
- Work collaboratively and communicate effectively to report enterprise analysis specifications.
Australian Computer Society (ACS) recognises the Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA). SFIA is adopted by organisations, governments and individuals in many countries and provides a widely used and consistent definition of ICT skills. SFIA is increasingly being used when developing job descriptions and role profiles.

This unit contributes to the following workplace skills as defined by SFIA 7 (the SFIA code is included):
- Information Analysis (INAN)
- Research (RSCH)
- Emerging Technologies (EMRG)
- Business Analysis (BUAN)
- Systems Design (DESN)
- Requirements Definition and Management (REQM)
- Business Modelling (BSMO)
- Stakeholder and Relationship Management (RLMT)
