Question
“Simple Scenario”
• At the beginning of each semester, students get a course catalogue containing a list of course offerings for the semester. Information about each course, such as professor, department, and prerequisites will be included to help students make informed decisions. • The system will allow students to select four course offerings for the coming semester. In addition, each student will indicate two alternative choices in case the student cannot be assigned to a primary selection. • Course offerings will have a maximum of ten students and a minimum of three students. A course offering with fewer than three students will be cancelled. Once the registration process is completed for a student, the registration system sends information to the billing system so the student can be billed. • Professors must be able to access the online system to indicate which courses they will be teaching. They will also need to see which students signed up for their course offerings. • For each semester, there is a period of time that students can change their schedule. Students must be able to access the system during this time to add or drop courses. Please read the simple scenario carefully for the project, and answer the following questions:
Q1: Using Microsoft Project 2007/2010 tool, draw Gantt Chart for “Course Registration Project” showing the task name and the duration of each task (Work Breakdown Structure (WBS))?
Q2: Using a mind mapping software create a mind map of a SWOT analysis for the “Course Registration Project”, including at least two strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
Q3: List the key outputs of each process group in the “Course Registration Project”.
Explanation / Answer
A high-level description of the project:
• Each student has a unique student ID and a profile. The profile includes first/last names, gender, date of birth, local address, department, enrolled year, username, login password, and may have a picture. You can also add other necessary information.
• Each instructor has a unique faculty ID and a profile. The profile must indicate the instructor’s department(s). An instructor may work at more than one department.
• A department has a unique department ID, a name, and a list of faculties.
• Each course has a course number, an instructor, given department, term, credits, classroom, periods, prerequisite courses, textbooks, and other information you think is necessary.
• A classroom has a unique ID and a unique location. Classrooms can hold more than one course each term, but these courses cannot conflict in time. Classrooms have capacities. Registered students’ number cannot exceed the classroom capacity.
• Must maintain all the courses a student has already taken/registered. This is used to check course prerequisites when registration.
• Students may login (with username and password) to the system to register courses or retrieve all the courses they have already taken/registered.
• Instructors may login (with username and password) to the system to add courses or retrieve all the courses they have already given/added.
• A student cannot register a course if: 1) he/she doesn’t meet the prerequisites, 2) the students registered in the course exceed the capacity of the classroom, 3) the course has a time conflict with other courses in the same term.
• An instructor cannot add a course if: 1) the classroom has already occupied by another course in the same period, 2) he/she has another course in the same period, 3) he/she is not affiliated with the department of this course.
• A day has 12 periods and a week has 5 days. The instructor provides periods when adding courses to the system.
• Students may retrieve all the courses given by a department, an instructor, or held in a specific period.
• There can be an arbitrary number of students/instructors/departments/classrooms/courses
