IT460-4: Develop information systems by converting design specifications into data structures.

Purpose

You, as the Systems Analyst, have been focusing thus far on the “inside” of a system, but realize the need to understand the interfaces used by a system as well. In this assignment, a new client is asking for assistance in building a website “from scratch” and needs for you to make design recommendations based on research.

Assignment Instructions and Requirements

Scenario:

Avery’s Gym has had some limited success providing athletic training and physical therapy…but she’s struggling a bit to expand her presence and her brand to expand her business. Avery is considering expanding her web presence and is interested in exploring what her competitors are doing. She thinks a great way to do that would be to build a website that could serve as a home for her marketing efforts. There are two parts to the assignment. First, research other similar sites to serve as a launching point for your creative efforts. Second, draft an original wireframe diagram using Visio that may serve as the starting point of a web system design project.

You can expand your research options to explore themes related to three main areas. Creativity is encouraged!

  • Gym or Physical Fitness center
  • Physical Therapy
  • Mental Health and Wellness centers

Because Avery is focused on crafting personalized training and experiences, she is looking for local inspiration. Choose a gym, physical fitness center, physical therapy site, or mental health and wellness facility that is close to you (preferably independent). Do not choose a large national business or chain as the starting point for your research.

Part 1: Home Page Research

Find an appropriate corresponding website home page with the purpose of researching similar sites for inspiration for your own design. Provide the following information focusing primarily on the home page, features, and branding of the site. Think of this as a “walk through evaluation.” In addition to providing a URL and screenshot – write a brief analysis addressing some of the common elements listed below:

  • Provide the full URL of your inspiration.
  • Include a screenshot
  • Provide additional written documentation to accompany your research. Adding labels and annotation to the screenshot highlighting your analysis is preferred.

Paragraph 1: Organization and Design (at least 75 words)

Describe the design elements:

  • Main features and purpose
  • Navigation menu(s)
  • Layout
  • Any whitespace

Create various forms of business correspondence and documents

LEARNING OBJECTIVES • Write for a specific purpose and audience • Create various forms of business correspondence and documents • Develop effective business correspondence writing style, paying particular attention to concision (i.e., avoiding wordiness), paragraph construction, and tone ASSIGNMENT Choose one of the following scenarios, and produce the requested documents for one scenario only. Each scenario asks you to prepare a range of documents. Students are responsible for determining the appropriate genre (email, memo, business letter, etc.) as well as the content of those documents. SCENARIO 1 You have been an employee for almost two years with Innovative Residential Solutions, a firm that provides support services for design and construction of residential and commercial buildings, and other types of infrastructure. One of your company’s specialties is innovative security features for multi-use facilities, such as keyless entry for residents. Innovative Residential Solutions has just released a new sensor that needs to be installed at a number of buildings the company holds maintenance contracts for across town. The new sensors update residential entry points so that the resident’s key fobs are functional at a greater distance. You have been tasked with your first big project. You are to coordinate the replacement of old sensors with the newly designed ones. Coordinating with your team, you provide all the necessary parts to do the work. The first stage of replacements–five buildings with 20 replacement points–was completed, but you received a call from the management of those buildings because residents are reporting they cannot enter the building. You get in touch with the person who did the replacement, Hagen Smith, and send him back over to troubleshoot. He lets you know that it was the sensor. The new sensors were not properly calibrated. Hagen Smith was able to recalibrate the sensors, and resident’s entry problems were resolved. Upon further research, you are able to locate the cause of the problem. At the Research & Development (R&D) warehouse, a new employee mis-read the sensor labels, resulting in inaccurate instructions for sensor installation being circulated to your installment team. Now you have to take steps to ensure the problem does not happen again.

DOCUMENT SERIES PROJECT INSTRUCTIONS

 

 

 

DELIVERABLES • Correspondence to Levi Kouma, the manager of the buildings where the mistake was

found. • Correspondence to Ahsan Trevino, the manager of the R&D unit • Correspondence to your supervisor, Mica Reyes, to let them know what happened

Document to the company vice-president, Richard Smith, who asked to be told of any • problem, or in his words, “anything that even remotely smells like a problem” with the project.

SCENARIO You are the project manager of a civil engineering company. Your current project is a large-scale (100 miles) construction project that is restoring a portion of the wetlands in coastal Louisiana and SE Texas. Although the project is environmentally beneficial, the local community has taken issue with the inconvenience of heavy construction in its midst. Currently, you are building a series of temporary access roads so that you can get equipment to one of the low-lying areas. This project involves a convoy of heavy trucks. Your firm has received numerous complaints from local residents about the noise and dust. In particular, you’ve received three letters from the same woman, Winnifred Doucette Lejeune. The last letter contained 10 additional signatures. The majority of the community is a minority population that identifies as Cajun, many of which are of low socioeconomic status. In the letters from the community, residents assert that they are being discriminated against because their opinion was not solicited regarding the construction. In fact, in going through project records, it appears residents were not consulted as the project was planned. Communication is necessary. If residents’ complaints continue to escalate, they could slow down the project and put this environmentally important project behind schedule. You make a trip from the office headquarters in Lafayette, LA to the Calcasieu/Sabine Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection, and Restoration Area to see what’s going on. On site, you see that everything seems to be progressing fine. Workers are on the job by 7:00am and running until almost sundown, but in the local bar and grill, all the talk is about “the darn government project to nowhere” and “what gives them the right to do this here?” When you get back to the office you decide you need to take action. DELIVERABLES

• Document to Winnifred Doucette Lejeune, who after further investigation, is a local resident that seems to spearhead any effort the town needs.

• Document to the company vice-president, Richard Smith, who asked to be told of any • problem, or in his words, “anything that even remotely smells like a problem” with the

project. • Document to sub-contractor supervisor at the construction site, Caspian Bauer. Your firm

has used this sub-contractor for almost five years, but this is the first project you’ve worked on with this particular supervisor.

SCENARIO  You are the technical manager of a large Internet design firm (100+ employees). One of your primary responsibilities is to manage a team of developers. Your unit’s primary goal is to build and deliver custom web applications and to update client websites. About 8 months ago you hired a small start-up company, MaintainU, to perform routine maintenance for clients’ websites because you needed to focus more attention on the custom applications. MaintainU does not interact with your clients, and they work as sub-contractors through your company. Your clients are not aware of this move and for now, you and Nathan Elder, your company president, want to keep it this way. One of the tasks you have assigned to MaintainU is keeping website security certificates, or Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificates, up to date. Unlike some services that renew automatically until specifically canceled, SSL Certificates have a set expiry date. These certificates authenticate a website’s identity and enable an encrypted connection. Companies and organizations need to add SSL certificates to their websites to secure online transactions and keep customer information private and secure. Yesterday, you received an angry call from a client, Sheila Links at Gateway Industries, because users of the company website were getting error messages stating that the SSL certificate was expired and the content could not be trusted. You immediately got in touch with Jason Hughes, the president of MaintainU, to inform him of the problem. Jason and his team were able to update the certificate, but there remains work to be done. Gateway Industries was one of the first clients your firm ever signed. While you were able to get the mistake corrected, this penetration in security is a major transgression and has compromised the client’s faith in the company. Further, for the first 6 months or so, the relationship with MaintainU was great, but this error is a serious breach in security. At this point, you’re uncertain if you want to continue the relationship, but at the same time, you cannot afford to bring maintenance work back in-house. You have to reestablish productive working relationships on several fronts.

DELIVERABLES

• Document to the client, Gateway Industries • Document to MaintainU • Document to Nathan Elder, the president of your company, who is a micro-manager and
