- Monash Faculty of Information Technology
- Semester 2, 2026
- an undergraduate Level 2 unit
- 6 credit points
- a core systems-analysis and design pathway unit
FIT2001 covers lifecycle approaches, requirements elicitation, user stories, activity and use-case models, domain modelling, prototyping, HCI, use-case realisation, security, testing, implementation and maintenance. It is taught within Monash Faculty of Information Technology. It is an undergraduate Level 2 unit.

It carries 6 credit points.
It is positioned as a core systems-analysis and design pathway unit.
The unit builds a traceable portfolio across weekly models and finishes with a threshold-hurdle scheduled assessment.
Assessment in fit2001 is distributed as follows: 16% tutorial and pre-class activity, three project stages worth 7%, 23% and 14%, and a 40% scheduled final assessment
The operational assessment conditions matter here.
A scheduled final assessment of two hours and 10 minutes carries 40% and a 45% component threshold.
What makes fit2001 demanding is concrete: keeping stakeholder evidence, requirements models and design choices mutually traceable while handling alternate flows, non-functional constraints and changing scope
Students need at least 45% in the final assessment, 45% across in-semester assessment and 50% overall; failing a threshold gives NH with a maximum unit mark of 45.
For enrolment planning, The current Handbook requires 24 credit points of FIT units and publishes prohibition rules.
The sequence opens at Systems Development as Problem Solving, develops its central analytical shift in Domain Modelling and Business Rules, and closes with Implementation, Maintenance and Future Change.

Trace a booking requirement into design
- 1Identify patient and staff goals plus system boundary.
- 1Elicit notice, eligibility and audit rules.
- 1Write a user story and acceptance criteria.
- 1Model main, alternate and denied flows.
- 1Trace the result to UI, domain and test artefacts.
Key terms
- system boundary
- The explicit division between what the proposed system controls and what remains environment or external actor. This chapter uses the concept when students frame a system initiative around stakeholders, context and measurable value.
- stakeholder
- A person, group or organisation affected by or able to affect the system and its outcomes. It helps explain the reasoning required to frame a system initiative around stakeholders, context and measurable value.
- systems development
- Coordinated analysis, design, implementation and change work used to solve an organisational problem through an information system. Its limit matters because technology selection before problem and boundary definition creates solution bias.
- predictive lifecycle
- A staged approach that plans and baselines substantial scope before later construction and release. This chapter uses the concept when students compare predictive, iterative and agile approaches for a named project.
- iterative development
- Repeated cycles that refine understanding and solution through feedback. It helps explain the reasoning required to compare predictive, iterative and agile approaches for a named project.
- method fit
- Alignment between development approach and uncertainty, risk, governance, team and stakeholder conditions. Its limit matters because calling a process agile does not remove governance, architecture or documentation needs.
- elicitation
- Purposeful discovery of needs, rules, constraints and disagreement through stakeholder and artefact evidence. This chapter uses the concept when students use interviews, observation, documents and workshops to discover testable requirements.
- functional requirement
- A capability or behaviour the system must provide under stated conditions. It helps explain the reasoning required to use interviews, observation, documents and workshops to discover testable requirements.
- non-functional requirement
- A quality, constraint or operating condition such as security, performance, accessibility or reliability. Its limit matters because one stakeholder statement is evidence but not automatically a complete or agreed requirement.
- user story
- Short requirement expression connecting a user role, desired capability and value, refined through acceptance criteria. This chapter uses the concept when students connect user goals to testable criteria and process flow.
- acceptance criterion
- Observable condition used to decide whether a story's behaviour is satisfactory. It helps explain the reasoning required to connect user goals to testable criteria and process flow.
- activity diagram
- Behavioural model showing actions, decisions, concurrency and flow through a process. Its limit matters because a story card without conditions and alternate paths is not a complete specification.
