A request for an application

A fictional community training center receives a request to buy a booking application. Staff describe missed appointments and repeated telephone calls, while learners report that reminders sometimes arrive after a session has moved. The manager wants an immediate purchase, but the team has no agreed count of missed appointments, no description of the current reminder process and no comparison of alternative changes. The center has limited staff time and an existing appointment list. A business analyst is asked to support the decision before a supplier is selected. This original teaching scenario supplies no actual procurement rules, vendor promises or official examination material, and no missing baseline should be invented.
