Question:
8. The state university wants to implement a better system to keep track of all the computer equipment it owns and needs to maintain. The university purchases a tremendous number of computers and software that are distributed throughout the campus and are used by faculty, staff, departments, and colleges. Currently, the university has very sparse records of its equipment and almost no records about maintenance or the software that has been purchased. A list of use cases has been defined; it will serve as the starting point to develop this system.
Take the following list of use cases to create a project iteration schedule. You should try to arrange the use cases so similar ones are developed together. Also, the most important use cases should be developed first. State your assumptions, and explain your reasons for your solution.
Note: For brevity, we use the word computer to refer to any type of computing equipment, such as a desktop computer, laptop computer, server computer, printer, monitor, projector, wireless access point, and so forth.
