Sprint is a national telecommunication service provider. It offers multi-phase service packets to their service users. Sprint's existing legacy inventory tracking system and account system is connected to the authorized retail stores only. When any existing customer wishes to change his or her device, they have to go through managerial approval through its customer service only. So the activation of any new device was done only at the account specialist level. This project was called "Online ESN Swap" which enables customers directly to activate any new device from their existing online account. The purpose of ESN Swap is to connect the device with existing account, not activation of a new service, yet a new device only. If and when, the company changes any policies, and brings new policies, ESN Swap does not comply with the new rules and policy, yet it enables the existing customers to hold onto their previous terms and services. The obvious reason for "Online ESN Swap" is to give access to its customers that they can perform this web based application on their own.  Communicated with product management as well as internal/external customers to understand requirements and business needs.  Developed Vision Document and use case documents.  Conducted requirement gathering sessions, effectively elicited and helped stakeholders negotiate and prioritize requirements.  Wrote clear, concise, and unambiguous business requirements, functional and non-functional requirements, and UAT test cases using business use cases, sequence diagrams, Activity Diagrams, and other UML techniques.  Conducted meetings to gather requirements and defined scope for new functions and modifications to existing ones.  Interviewed SME's (Subject Matter Experts), asked detailed questions and carefully recorded the requirements in a format that could be reviewed and understood by both business people and technical people.
