Innovation Division Selection
Two practical tasks. No coding, nothing to memorise.
Candidate:
Before you start
Two tasks, each with its own time limit. Read this page first, then move on when you are told to.
Task 1
An organising committee is running a futsal tournament between companies. Last year the same committee ran a fun run, and its registration form was online: one person filled in one form for themselves.
Yesterday the committee sent over two Word documents and a short message:
"Here are the two files for the futsal tournament. One is the general rules, the other is the team registration form. Please put it online like the fun run form last year, as soon as you can, people are already asking."
What the team registration form contains, in short:
Some of what the two documents say does not match. The number of players, and the way the entry fee is calculated, differ between the general rules and the registration form.
Write a feature proposal for this team registration form, using the template provided. You do not need to know how to build it. What is being asked for is a clear proposal: what the problem is, what is needed, what is out of scope, and what still has to be asked of the committee before any work starts.
Mark clearly anything you do not know or that needs confirming. Flagging something is better than guessing.
Task 2
Task 2 opens once Task 1 has been handed in. Your assessor will open it and read out two short instructions before you begin.
Below is a plan for building the team registration form. It was written in a hurry, and parts of it are a problem.
Find the parts that are a problem and explain why. Give the number, what is wrong with it, and what you would do instead.
If you think a point is actually fine as it stands, leave it alone.
