Coursework Specification
A major activity of both ITIL and TOGAF is the creation of a repository of documentation of models that describe the functions, processes, activities, and artefacts of the business. Of course for organisations adopting the ITIL and or TOGAF frameworks this will include models of the ITIL and TOGAF functions, processes, activities and artefacts.
For this coursework you are required to develop a set of models of the key elements ITIL and TOGAF in Visual Paradigm using UML and BMPN.
As the list below shows there are quite a lot of things to be modelled however, because the framework define standard formats for describing things once you have completed the first couple model creation is fairly swift and straightforward and you can concentrate on the details the models encapsulated.
Both ITIL and TOGAF have foundation level certification programs that require a detailed knowledge of these artefacts and how they fit together. On successful completion of this coursework you will be well placed to become certified should you wish to.
Hand-in for the ITIL models will be week 7
Hand-in for the TOGAF models will be week 13

Chapter 9 Assignment
Pleadings Drafting Assignment
FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully have been partners on the X-Files for approximately seven years and have been recently stationed at an office in West Palm Beach, Florida. They are not romantically involved, but because they spend so much time together, neither has been able to foster a romantic relationship with anyone else either.
Upon her 35th birthday, Scully realizes she desperately wants to have a child and quit her FBI job to become a county coroner. She considers artificial insemination, but finds the process too impersonal. She also wants her child to have a father. Following careful consideration, Scully approaches Mulder with the possibility of having a child together. Mulder thinks it’s a fantastic idea, but only agrees if Scully agrees not to quit the X-Files. Scully wants the fertilization to be in vitro and wants to prepare a contract delineating each party’s respective rights.
Scully has her attorney, Alex Krycheck, prepare a contract, which Mulder signs on March 15, 2012, providing that Mulder will provide Scully with a healthy sperm sample and that he will not indulge in any intoxicants until such sample is provided. Mulder also agrees to move in with Scully and take care of her throughout the entire pregnancy. Mulder’s responsibilities include cleaning Scully’s house, cooking Scully’s meals and transporting Scully to and from doctor appointments. In exchange for these obligations, Scully agrees to stay on the X-Files as Mulder’s partner and the child will have Mulder’s name.
On April 1, 2012, Mulder and Scully head to the fertilization clinic where Mulder will provide the first sample and the doctors will attempt to impregnate Scully. While traveling down Ocean Drive, Mulder loses control of the vehicle and crashes into the sea wall. Mulder was not injured, but Scully couldn’t stand up. When the police arrived at the scene of the accident, they determined Mulder had been drinking alcohol because he failed a field sobriety exam. Scully was rushed to the hospital and treated for two broken legs. Scully must wear a cast on each leg for at least six (6) months and is not permitted to conceive a baby until she fully recovers from the trauma. Doctors estimate this may take at least one year. Scully incurs $16,000 in hospital bills.
Scully is livid with Mulder. He was drinking alcohol in violation of their agreement and it jeopardized her life. Furthermore, Scully may never be able to bear a child as a result of the accident, since she is already 35 years old and must wait at least another year. Finally, she cannot work until the casts are removed. The FBI will pay Scully half her regular salary during her invalidity. She typically earns $80,000 a year.
As soon as she is released from the hospital, Scully visits her attorney, Krycheck, who advises her she can sue Mulder for breach of contract and negligence. Between her lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering and possible loss of opportunity to conceive, Krycheck believes Scully has damages to the tune of $300,000.
You are Krycheck’s paralegal. Please prepare a Complaint on behalf of your client, Dana Scully, against Fox Mulder. Include the causes of action listed above. Remember, causes of actions must be plead by their elements.
Negligence = Duty, Breach of Duty, Causation, Damages
Breach of Contract = Existence of a Contract, Breach without Legal Excuse and Damages
In addition to preparing the Complaint, you must also prepare a Summons to serve on Mulder.
Scully’s address is 210 Vista St, West Palm Beach, FL 33411
Mulder’s address is 1388 Alien Dr, West Palm Beach, FL 33412
Krycheck’s address is 415 Double Agent Lane, West Palm Beach, FL 33413
Summons should not exceed 1 page; Complaint should not exceed 3 pages. They should commence on separate pages
