 Select any example of a visualization or infographic, maybe your own work or that of others. The task is to undertake a deep, detailed ‘forensic’ like assessment of the design choices made across each of the five layers of the chosen visualization’s anatomy. In each case your assessment is only concerned with one design layer at a time.For this task, take a close look at the annotation choices:

1. Start by identifying all the annotation features deployed, listing them under the headers of either project or chart annotation
2. How suitable are the choices and deployment of these annotation features? If they are not, what do you think they should have been?
3. Go through the set of ‘Influencing factors’ from the latter section of the book’s chapter to help shape your assessment and to possibly inform how you might tackle this design layer differently
4. Also, considering the range of potential annotation features, what would you do differently or additionally?

Submit a two-page document answering all of the questions above.  Be sure to show the visualization first and then thoroughly answer the above questions. Ensure that there are at least two-peer reviewed sources utilized this week to support your work. 

 Discussion :

1. Explain why it is important that software products are developed and delivered quickly. Why is it sometimes sensible to deliver an unfinished product and then issue new versions of that product after delivery? 

2 Explain why the product owner is an essential role in a Scrum development team. How might a development team that is working in an environment where there are no external customers (e.g. a student project team) reproduce this product owner role?

3. Why does Software system need kind of Agile design? What does agile mean (smart, flexible, easy to switch/change/…..)?

 Assignment :

Topic #1: Explain why software testing should always be an incremental, staged activity. Are programmers the best people to test the programs that they have developed?

Topic #2: Write a set of non-functional requirements for the drone system, setting out its expected safety and response time. 

Topic #3: Based on your using experience and knowledge of how an ATM is used, develop a set of use cases that could serve as a basis for understanding the requirements for an ATM system.

Writing a MIPS Assembly program that uses factorial recursion to calculate the odds of winning a variety of lotteries.

In Week 10, you will provide a detailed project presentation for your new information system project. Because of its importance to the organization, your presentation must be thoughtful and visually appealing.

For each week leading up to the presentation, you are expected to turn in a short (less than one page) status report.

It must address just four things:

1. What did you expect to accomplish on the project this week?
2. What did you actually accomplish on the project this week?
3. What issues have arisen, and what help do you need?
4. What do you expect to accomplish on the project next week?

Appendix A: Final Project Overview In the final project, you play the role of a network consultant hired to design a new network for a company called Acme Manufacturing. Acme expects a network design document that includes your recommendations. The organization is growing and expanding their operations with the acquisition of a plant in China as well as several other offices throughout the United States. The following are the requirements for the new wide area network. • The network must be designed using all new equipment. • The design document must recommend the types of lines that should be used for each location (i.e. Ethernet, fiber, satellite, and so forth). • There are multiple departments that must be grouped logically to address security. Locations: o Headquarters—Atlanta, Georgia houses corporate operations, marketing, administrative staff, and accounting o Engineering—Atlanta, across from headquarters: houses sales and engineering o Distribution offices—Chicago, Phoenix, and New York: Each distribution office has a small sales staff and administrative staff. o Plant facility—China • Weekly meetings are held in the corporate conference room at headquarters, with people attending from multiple locations, including China, New York, Chicago, and Phoenix.
 

Develop a plan to set up a wide area network based on the scenario presented in Appendix A. Your plan must include the following:
o An overview of the company and its needs
o A logical network drawing for Acme to depict the recommended WAN
o Recommendations for the type of leased lines the company should choose at each location, how each location will connect to headquarters, and whether or not each location should be able to connect with the others
o Recommendations for what type of telecommunications system would work best for Acme: PBX or VoIP
o The IP address scheme, including the range of IP addresses, broadcast addresses, and subnets
o A VLAN to appropriately address Acme’s concerns that departments that are not grouped together are logically connected
o Recommendations for network equipment that should be placed at each location; also consider equipment based on the teleconferencing needs
o Protocols that will be used for the routers at each location
o Recommendations for wireless technology

Project Description:

You work as a database manager at Virtual Registry, Inc. This firm specializes in supplying china, crystal, silver, and collectible gifts online. You will add a hyperlink field that will store a URL for each manufacture’s website. The HR department manager wants to store a photo and the most recent performance review for each employee. You also export data from the database to three different formats. Finally, you import information from Excel, Access, and text files.

Start   Access. Open the downloaded Access file named Exp19_Access_Ch8_Cap_Registry. Grader has automatically added   your last name to the beginning of the filename. Save the file to the   location where you are storing your files.

You   will add a hyperlink field to the Manufacturer table to store each company’s   website address.
 

  Create a new field in the Manufacturer table after RlMfgCode named Website with the Hyperlink data type. Save the   table.

Switch   to Datasheet view, add the website https://www.spode.co.uk   to the Spode China record (11).

Add   https://www.wedgwood.com to the Wedgwood China record (15).   Click each link to make sure it launches a browser and locates the   appropriate website. Close the table.

You   will add an attachment field to the Employees table to store the employees’   performance reviews and photos.
 

  Create a new field in the Employees table after HireDate named EmployeeFiles with the Attachment data type. Save   the table.

Switch   to Datasheet view and locate the record for UserID 81094880. Add the downloaded Word document   named 81094880.docx and the picture   file named 81094880.jpg to the   EmployeeFiles field.Save the table.

Create   a basic form based on the Employees table; the form will open in Layout view.   For UserID 81094880, (record 1), click the Word icon and click the Forward   arrow on the Attachment toolbar to display the Word document and the   picture file. Save the form as Employees.   Close the form and the table.

You   want to determine current sales for a specific product line. You will filter   the Revenue Query to locate records and export the records to Excel and Word.   You will also export inventory records to create a report in PDF format.
 

  Open the Revenue Query. Use Filter by Selection to display records in the   Alias column where the value equals Waterford   Crystal. Export the filtered records to an Excel file. Save the file as a08c1Crystal_LastFirst. Do not save the export steps.

Hide   the ProdCategoryID, DESCR, and Alias fields from the results in the Revenue Query. Export the   same filtered records to a Word file. Open the destination file after the   export operation is complete. On the Layout tab, change the orientation of   the document to Landscape. Press ENTER   one time and add the title Waterford Crystal   Orders   to the Word file. Format the title as bold and center aligned. Save the file   as a Word document with the name a08c1Crystal_LastFirst.   Close the document and exit Word. Do not save the export steps. Save and   close the filtered Revenue Query.
