In fact, that’s the same + +information we keep about staff, except we don’t + +bother with membership type for staff, and we + +need to record their IRD number. Now that I + +think about it, we would probably need some + +way to add and change staff details as well. + +ANALYST Right, got that. Before we continue, + +what do you mean by “membership type”? + +MANAGER Oh, each member is classified either + +as “full” if they’re employed, “student” for students, “senior” for senior citizens, or “special” + +for anything else that doesn’t fit into those types. + +Anything other than full membership requires + +proof of eligibility, like a current student ID card. + +ANALYST Thanks for that. So what happens next? + +MANAGER The new member pays the joining fee, + +we record the joining date, then process the payment, assign them a member ID, and issue them + +with a gym card. I guess with a computer system we could just enter all those details straight + +into the database? Like details of any payments + +and whether or not we’ve issued them a card. + +ANALYST Correct, good point. I assume you’d + +want to record the usual payment information + +like the date, amount, and type of payment + +(cash, EFTPOS, credit card, internet)? + +MANAGER Yes, and link it back to the member. + +ANALYST OK, that all sounds fairly standard then. + +Are there ever any problems? + +MANAGER Sure. Sometimes the member doesn’t + +have enough money or they can’t provide evidence that they’re a student or similar. In these + +situations, we record their details anyway, defer + +the payment, and only issue the gym card once + +they provide evidence of eligibility and/or pay. + +ANALYST Who manages that process? + +MANAGER The office staff. + +ANALYST What other staff roles do you have? + +MANAGER There’s me, then there are the trainers + +who prepare exercise programmes for members. + +ANALYST Ah, good, I wanted to ask about exercise + +programmes next. + +MANAGER Sure, what do you want to know? + +ANALYST Well I’m pretty ignorant when it comes + +to exercising so pretend I’m a new member and + +I’ve just paid. + +MANAGER OK, the first thing we do is assign you + +to an individual personal trainer and record that + +on your form (Section 3). The trainers are kept + +pretty busy as they’re usually assigned to lots of + +different members. + +ANALYST OK, what happens next? + +MANAGER The trainer and member spend some + +time getting to know each other, so that they can + +develop some goals for the member to work towards. These goals are also recorded on the form + +(Section 3). + +ANALYST Right. What about the exercises? + +MANAGER Well, your trainer will prepare a personalised exercise programme by selecting a + +suitable set of exercises based on your goals. + +ANALYST So things like star jumps and push-ups? + +MANAGER Yes, that’s right, and lat pull-downs, + +bench press, squats, and so on. For each exercise your personal trainer records the weight (if + +applicable), the repetitions, and any additional + +notes. Notes are usually only added if you need + +further clarification on an exercise or your personal trainer wants to follow up on something + +later on. + +ANALYST Can the same exercise appear more than + +once in the same exercise programme? + +MANAGER No, that doesn’t really make sense. + +ANALYST Excellent, that’s everything I need. + +Thanks! \ No newline at end of file
