cengage module 3 appliance warehouse
I hope you were able to get to the movies this weekend. There's some incredible films out right now! Over the weekend, I was thinking about the process for analyzing the technology needs for this new department. The service department will need a system to support its unique needs of scheduling technicians, obtaining parts for repair, and setting up follow up appointments once parts are in-stock. I want to make sure that none of the analysis and design tasks fall through the cracks. I need you to identify all of the tasks that you will need to complete. I find it is helpful to create a Work Breakdown Structure to identify the tasks. Don't forget to include the system and industry analysis, system design, implementation plans, and security tasks in your WBS. CIS 220 Chapter 3 Appliance Warehouse Revised Assignments All - we will have only 'two' primary tasks for you to complete for this week's Appliance Warebouse submission - One is creating a flowehart style Work Breakdown Structure in the style shown in the video 1 sent earlier this week (below). The other will be to ereate a Project Risk List discussed further below, Please review the screenshot directly below - (sorn it is a bit difficult to see). It is an MS-Project view of the requested Work Breakdown structure for the Chapter 3AW submission. I felt that the documents in the actual Appliance Warehouse environment did a poor job of describing what the WBS should look like-Hence, I would like us to look at the screenshot below and use it to construct a Work Breakdown Structure in the style shown in the video I sent earlier this week: Nice job with the task list! Now that you've outlined the tasks, you'll need to figure out the order of the tasks and relationships between each one. It is important to do this so that we can get this analysis and design done as quickly as possible. As best you can, assign durations to these tasks. We have some historical data in the resource library. If you are uncertain about the time estimate. I find that it best to come up with a best, worst, and most likely time estimates. Then I add up the estimates (best + worst + (4 most likely)) by giving more weight to the most likely and then divide by 6. Please put all of this information into your preferred project management software package and share the file with me. Before you leave for the weekend, could you make a list of all the possible risks for this service department system project? l'd like to think about our risks over the weekend and discuss with you on Monday. The beginning of the what I call the flowchart style of WBS will look exactly like below. Students must use the screenshot above to determine where to place remaining elements - note that this style of WBS does 'not' require Start / Finish dates and times nor does it require indicating the 'Predecessor Tasks'. I recommend building this from scratch as it would be difficult to build off what 1 have presented here given it is a screen snip from Windows Snipping Tool. Next - we'll need students to prepare a Risk list: with at least six clearly identifled risks of the new department creation. Identify what 'kind' of risk is indicated from the listing of $ 'topes' of risks shown further below... - Example: New system is incomparible with parts department system (This is a Techologi Risk) Refer to the following when preparing your Risk List! 1. Scope Risks.... 2. Cost Risks.... 3. Time Risks. ... 4. Technology Risks, ... 5. Resoutce Risks. ... 6. Communication Risks. ... 7. Procurement Risks. 8. Miscellaneous Risks
