CS-255-T4175 System Analysis & Design

You have reviewed the Module Four resources and spent some time learning about object models and Gantt charts. You will spend some time discussing these concepts with your classmates in order to gain a deeper understanding of the topics and how they apply to system analysis and design.

Before creating your initial post, you will need to create your Gantt chart for Project One. Review the “Schedule Planning” portion of the DriverPass Interview Transcript. There you will find a discussion about the different tasks and their prioritization. You will also find a table that lays out the different tasks. Using the CASE tool Lucidchart, create a Gantt chart of the tasks for the DriverPass project. Use the Lucidchart Tutorial to support you in this task. Download your Gantt chart as a PDF. Be sure to check the “Accessible PDF” box before downloading.

In your initial post, be sure to address each of the following:

  • Why is object modeling important for system analysis and design?
  • How are the object-oriented concepts of encapsulation and polymorphism related to object models?
  • What are the differences between an object and a process model?
  • What benefits do you see in using a Gantt chart for scheduling purposes?
  • What challenges did you experience when creating your Gantt chart?

Finally, be sure to attach a copy of your Gantt chart to your initial post.

In your response posts to your classmates, address the following:

  • Analyze the differences between process and object models and pose additional questions and comments based on your analysis of these two models.
  • What similarities and differences do you see between your Gantt chart and your classmate’s?
  • Share a strategy that might help your classmate overcome the challenge they experienced.

MSIT 605 Systems Analysis Design

Using your study of chapter 8 of Modern Systems Analysis and Design and class lecture, solve the following problem.

In a real estate database, there is an entity called PROPERTY, which is a property for sale by the agency. Each time a potential property buyer makes a purchase offer on a property, the agency records the date, offering price, and name of the person making the offer.

Buyers often have multiple phone numbers and addresses, which are not necessarily related to each other. Augment your answer to Problem and Exercise 8.62b (located at the end of chapter 8) to accommodate this new entity type.
  4. Finally, assume that, for each purchase offer, we need to know which buyer phone number and address to associate with that offer. Augment your answer to Problem and Exercise 8.62c to accommodate this new requirement.

Understand the state department of education/higher education

This week, you will examine the state’s role in educational policy at the PK-12 or higher education level.

Access the website for your state’s department of PK-12 education or higher education based on your professional preference. Every state should have a website for each of these organizations. Some example of PK-12 and higher education state department sites are provided in the resources for this week.

In this assignment, you will compare and contrast state education policy at either the PK-12 or higher education level by accessing websites for three states. One of the states must be your own and the other states must be bordering your state (or at least in your region of the U.S.—Hawaii and Alaska residents may choose any other two states). International students may choose a state that they would like to visit plus 2 bordering states; or select 3 regions from their location.

For this two-part assignment you will address the following:

Part I:

Write at least one paragraph for each state noting the following—What is each state saying about policy? Legislative news? What seems to be the focus or what seems to be important?

In your next paragraphs, compare and contrast the states. You may focus on areas of emphasis or areas of disagreement or discrepancy. In other words, what is the policy related items that you saw for one state that you didn’t see for another state?

Part II:

Find a news article from your state or local news or a video in which the leader of your states department of PK-12 or higher education has been interviewed or is making a statement. What is the leader saying? Write 1-2 paragraphs discussing what the leader has stated, how that relates to any policy initiatives or news items on the state’s website, how you view the leader’s comments, and the impact of that leader on your state.
