Your Task: Create a business overview diagram for “Health Network Inc”.

To do this:           

  • Read the Scenario
  • Study the list of Diagram components below
  • Create Diagram according to the criteria and rubric below
    • Diagrams must be entirely your own work and created with computer software such as draw.io, Visio, or PowerPoint.

Diagram Components

  1. The six primary elements of your diagram are:
  • Headquarters
    • Production Data Center Minneapolis
  • Corporate Facility: Portland
    • Data Center Portland
  • Corporate Facility: Arlington
    • Data Center Arlington
  1. Your diagram should also show the three main products. This can be done with text or with an image. For example, next to the Headquarter element, you could have text that says “Hosts HNet Exchange” or you could place an icon inside your Headquarters element and label it “Hnet Exchange.” It is up to you where (Minneapolis, Portland, Arlington) each product is hosted/supported.
  2. Users

Your diagram should use person images/icons to represent:

  • Doctors
  • Patients
  • Employees

Development frameworks such as user-centered, participatory, and agile design help by offering validated processes with predictable schedules and meaningful deliverables, why specific design methods such as surveys, focus groups, and ethnographic observation can provide information to guide requirements analysis?

Question:

Development frameworks such as user-centered, participatory, and agile design help by offering validated processes with predictable schedules and meaningful deliverables, why specific design methods such as surveys, focus groups, and ethnographic observation can provide information to guide requirements analysis?

Explain what you learned from your research and what you know from your own experience with the system, in your own words. List the references you consulted in your research at the bottom of your essay in APA format.

Discord Analysis

You are encouraged to read various sources to learn more about your information system, or about information systems in general, but due to the brief length of the essay, you are discouraged from directly quoting from your sources. Instead, explain what you learned from your research and what you know from your own experience with the system, in your own words. List the references you consulted in your research at the bottom of your essay in APA format (minimum of 3 references).

In Analysis Essay #2, you will address the following:

1) a brief reminder of the name and purpose of your chosen information system,

2) description of networking, communications, and security components of your information system,

3) impact of the information system on the users and/or the organization,

4) competitive analysis of the system, including how the system helps users and/or the organization address its business processes (or personal tasks, if not a business system)

5) 3 well-developed recommendations for improving and enhancing your chosen information system, and

6) conclusion. Specific details about what to include in each section can be found in the attached template.

 

Look at Jean’s cookies. Compare the cache and cookie entries. What informational differences do you see? How can the IE Cache information be more beneficial than just looking at the user’s cookies?

Computer Forensics

Purpose: To introduce the difference between IE Cache and cookies.
Download location for application: indexdat.zip on blackboard [optional]
*** Index.dat Analyzer is already installed on VCL. Look for its icon on the Desktop or type in the Windows search bar: index.dat analyzer. ***

Evidence file: nps–2008–jean.E01 (located in \\144.175.196.12\Forensic Data\nps–2008–jean.E01)

Steps/Questions to answer:
1. Download and install the indexdat–setup application. Note: If you are using the VCL option, this step is already complete. You can find the installed application on the VCL Desktop or by typing in the Windows search bar: index.dat analyzer.

2. Load image in FTK Imager and go to the History.IE5 folder for user Jean. Locate the 128kb index.dat file with the date of 7/20/2008. Extract this file to your desktop.

3. Open the index.dat file with notepad. What do you see overall?

4. Now open the index.dat file with the Index.dat Analyzer program. Make sure you add the exported file from the image and select the correct index.dat file. What do you see in comparison to what you saw in question 3?

5. By reviewing her cache in the Index.dat Analyzer, list the most popular pants size she shopped for?

6. Look at Jean’s cookies. Compare the cache and cookie entries. What informational differences do you see?

7. How can the IE Cache information be more beneficial than just looking at the user’s cookies?

8. Based on what you learned, what can you conclude about how Windows configures the IE Cache file? (i.e., based on what you saw in notepad and in the Index.dat Analyzer program)

Discuss why you think this occurs. Is it down to lack of technological understanding on the part of clients or stakeholders? Is it the dreaded scope creep as stakeholders discover they can have more than they first envisioned through the design and prototyping stages?

Requirements gathering – As simple as it seems?

From initial discussions to the eventual end product, requirements can shift tremendously. The scope of a project can go from 0 to 100 in very short order.

Discuss why you think this occurs. Is it down to lack of technological understanding on the part of clients or stakeholders? Is it the dreaded scope creep as stakeholders discover they can have more than they first envisioned through the design and prototyping stages? Communication deficiencies? How does a software engineer (or their team) account for or mitigate the possibility of expanded scope in the midst of design and development? What happens if they don’t?

How would you create a preliminary architectural design for the first prototype for a mobile app that lets you create and save a shopping list on your device? Where would you get the historic date needed to estimate the development time for the user stories in a prototype before it is written?

Acceptance Criteria & Agility

Part 1

Textbook assignment (may be slightly altered from book):

3.1. Read the “Manifesto of Agile Software Development” [Bec01] noted at the beginning of this chapter. Can you think of a situation in which one or more of the four “values” could get a software team into trouble?

3.2. Describe agility (for software projects) in your own words.

3.7. Write a user story that describes the “favorite places” or “favorites” feature available on most Web browsers.

Part 2

Textbook assignment (may be slightly altered from book):

4.2. Write the acceptance criteria for the user story that describe the use of the “favorite places” or “favorites” feature found on most Web browsers that you wrote for Problem 3.7 in Chapter 3.

4.3. How would you create a preliminary architectural design for the first prototype for a mobile app that lets you create and save a shopping list on your device?

4.4. Where would you get the historic date needed to estimate the development time for the user stories in a prototype before it is written?

4.5. Create a series of sketches representing the key screens for a paper prototype for the shopping list app you created in Problem 4.3 (Visio can be used for this or create them by hand then scan or photograph to insert into the document).

4.6. How can you test the viability of the paper prototype you created for Problem 4.5?

4.7. What data points are needed to make the go, no-go decision during the assessment of an evolutionary prototype?

Craft an argument identifying the 2 best techniques employed (by any of the 3companies) to enhance environmental responsibility. Identify the technique from the case study narrative or videos that you believe to be the LEAST effective in having a positive impact on the environment and explain why.

Information Theory Case Study

Read the Case Study information and Watch the 3 videos below. As you watch the videos, consider the impact of “big data” on the environment and the responsibility of large online businesses to be socially responsible in terms of controlling both pollution and global warming. Using what you’ve learned, do the following:

A. Craft an argument identifying the 2 best techniques employed (by any of the 3companies) to enhance environmental responsibility. The 2 best techniques do not have to be from the same company.

B. Additionally, identify the technique from the case study narrative or videos that you believe to be the LEAST effective in having a positive impact on the environment and explain why.

C. Identify the company (of the 3 in this case study) that you believe to be most environmentally responsible and briefly explain why.
