CPU CASE Aluen Somat, Jucie E. KENdAL4, AND KENneth E. Kendall Getting to Know U Chip eaters Anna's otfice one day, saying. 'I think the project aill be a good oae, even though it's taking some long bours, to gel started.." Anna looks up trem her sereen and smiles. Tlike what yoe've dese in geating us organized," she says. "I hudn't realized Micosoft Visio and Visikle Analys could help us this mech with project management. I've decided to do a PEKT diagram for the data gatherine portice of the project. It should help us plan cur time and work as a ram ca parallel activities" "Can I take a look at the PERT diagram?" aks Chip. Anna sbows him a sereen with a PERT dingram on in (6ee Figure E3,1) and remarks, "This will belp immensely. It is much easier than planning hapharardly." "I notice that you have Gather Reports, Gather Reconds and Data Capeure Forms, and Gather Qualitative Documents as parallel tasks," notes Chip, gazing at the sereen. "Yes," replies Anna. "I thoaght thas we would split ap the time that it takes to gather the iaformation. We can also divide up the task of analycing what we have learned." "I nodee that yoa have a rather large number of dys allocated for interviewing the users," nots Chip. "Yes," replies Anna. "This activity also inclades creating questions, sequencing them, and ofher tasks, such as taking notes of the office exvironment and analyring them. I've also assumed a sandard of six prodactive hours per day." "After we interview the users, we will want to create a peoblem definition for the system, listing be issaes and objectives," continues Ansa. "Onee this is finished, we'tl have the esers review is and axsign weights. When this is eomplete, the next step is to create a list of tuer requirements." "Sounds tike a good plan," Chip remarks after a thosghnul paase. "Shoeld we get started with a cquestion list? Anna glances at ber wasch. "Not aow, it's gering lare. I think we've male a lot of peogreas in sering up our perject. Let's call it a day, or should I say evening? Remeaiber, I got es tickets for the foocball game," Chip replies, "T haven't forgotien. Let me get my cout, and we'll walk over to the stadium oogether." Walking across campus later, Chip says, "Tmexcited. It's my first game here at CPU. What's the team mascoi, any way? "Chipemuaks, of course," says Ania. "Aad the tean colocs?" Chip anks, ai they enter the atadiuna. "Blue and white," Anna replies. "Oh, that's why everyone's yelling, 'Go Big Blue!' Chip says, listening to the roar of the erowd. "Precisely," says Anza. E-1. Use Microsoft Visio or Vasible Aaalyst to vicw the Gathering Informatica PERT diagram. E-2. List all paths and calculate and detemine the critical padh for the Gathering Information PERT diagram. E-3. Use Microsott Visio or Visible Analyst to create the PERT diagram sbown in Figure E3.2. It represents the activities imvolved in interviewing the users and observing theit offices. E-4. List all paths and calculate and determine the eritical path for the Interviewing Users PERT diagram. E-5. Use Visio or Visible Analyst to create a PERT diagram for creating sysem prototypes. The activity informetion is sbown in Figure E3.3. E-6. Create the problem definition for the CPU case. Read the interview with Hy Perteks in the CPU case found in Chapter 4 as well as the ieterviews found on the support Web site for Systeens Aadysis and Design. Go to www.pearsonhighered.com/kendall and click the CPU Student Exercise link for the \&fe text. Then click the first link called CPU Interviews. You will need to read all five addinional interviews. There is a Next link in the lower right corner of the Web page to go to the next interview. E-7. Write user requirements for the CPU case. E-8. Design a test plan for the requirements created in Exereise E-7. The exercises preceded by a ww ison indicate value-added material is available from the Web site at www.pearionkigheredecom/kredall. Studcats can download a sampir Microson Visio, Visabla Analyst, Microson Project, or a Mirosoft Access file that cen be used to eomplete the exercises. CPU CASE Aluen Somat, Jucie E.
