PART 1

In your Milestone One assignment, due next week, you will be isolating certain parts of the data set to analyze so that you can reveal the inefficiencies in operational processes. An important first step is to decide what part of the data set you need to isolate. This module’s discussion involves deciding on the kinds of data needed to make business decisions involving a specific business process.

For your initial post, consider the scenario presented in the final project. Choose one part of the process (production, sales, or transportation), and discuss what data you would need to analyze to inform business decisions and why.

In response to your peers, choose those who analyzed a different part of the process. Do you agree with your peers’ assessments? Is there other data that could be used?

Note: You will not be able to see your peers’ posts until you make your initial post.

PARt 2:

Consider an experience in your personal or professional life when you created something for someone else, be it a memo for your boss, an order for a client, or a project for a friend or relative. In this experience, did the person, or end user, participate in the process of creating the end product? Reflect on what was challenging and helpful about that person’s participation (or lack of participation) in the process and then address the following:

• To what extent should an end user be involved in the selection of a database management system and the design of a database?
• What are two advantages and disadvantages to having the end user involved in the selection?
• If you were interviewing the woman in the video, what two questions would you ask her about what she needs in the database?

In your responses to at least two of your peers, respond to classmates who had a different perception of whether users should be involved in the selection of a database. List an advantage and disadvantage that they did not mention.

PART 3:

Using the case study you selected in Module One, discuss your progress on the project proposal with your peers. Make sure that you address the following critical elements:

• What system design methodologies and techniques will you use? Why did you select this method?
• What potential risks do you see that may prevent successful completion of your solution design?

In your responses to your peers, provide constructive feedback on their project proposals. Do you see any potential obstacles they might come up against? If so, what approaches can they take to overcome these challenges?
