FAILURE TO ENTER YOUR DETAILS ON THE FRONT COVER SHEET COULD RESULT IN FAILURE OF THIS COMPONENT OF THE ASSESSMENT REGIME Plagiarism Plagiarism is taken seriously. If you are suspected of taking part in any way, you will be awarded a ‘U’, which will affect your final exam results. If you are not clear what plagiarism is, then please read “Guide and Regulations” page 21 and Section F and on the Middlesex University 24-7 website: http://www.mdx.ac.uk/24-7/ Applicants for undergraduate courses at Middlesex University can download an application form from the university’s homepage at the following address: http://www.mdx.ac.uk/Assets/Uni_application_form.pdf Print off a copy of the form. Read the form and then complete the following: 1. Exhaustively list ALL the data captured by this application form (i.e. the information supplied by the applicant). Your answer should be as full as possible. Please do not simply provide lists of the respective data, activities and information for this application process but offer explanations for each inclusion in your lists. Task 2: Entity Relationship Diagram In data planning and database design, end users must identify key data elements that are needed in order to perform specific business activities. This frequently involves developing entity relationship diagrams (ERDs) that model the relationships among the many entities involved in business processes. Read the following narrative description of a business process: A customer can place one or a number of orders with a company. Any one order can only be raised by a single specific customer. An order can request for a number of different products. A product can appear on any order that requests for it. The company has numerous warehouses across London. Each warehouse stores one or a number of the company’s products. These products can be stored in one or a number of these warehouses. If the inventory levels for these products run low then they must be ordered from a supplier. Any one product can be supplied by a number of different suppliers. Each supplier can supply the company with numerous products.#p#分页标题#e# Using the ERD notation, presented in Lecture notes [readily available via OASISplus], produce an ERD model of the narrative described above. Task 3: Critical Success Factors in the IS Development Lifecycle Read the following case study, which outlines how one particular organisation assures that their IT projects are completed successfully and support the goals of the business: Bill Morris, the Managing Director (MD) of ATP Life Assurance, talks of the successful management of IT projects: “We apply all of the analytical rigour and financial Return-On-Investment (ROI) tools against each of our IT projects as well as other business projects. The use of tools is very important, as well as risk analyses on every investment.” The MD describes how the company monitors each IT project to measure its efficiency and effectiveness during the course of development and applies a red / yellow / green coding system to reflect the current health of a project. Senior line managers, the Managing Director and chief operating officer are all given a monthly report about the status of projects that are valued at more than £250K and those that deal with important strategic content. Also ATP Life Assurance makes use of an investment-tracking database for every IT project to monitor costs on a rolling basis. The approach gives the advantage of permitting the company’s IT and business managers to quickly determine whether a project should be accelerated, delayed or cancelled and assists the finance organisation in forecasting requirements.
