Throughout the semester, you  learned about different database types and even studied a variety of  database platform. Where do you think data systems will be in five years  from now? How about 10 years from now? Will autonomous system, machine  learning, artificial intelligence, or blockchain play an integral role  in the future of data systems?

Instructions

• This is a required assignment, worth 15 points. The assignment  must be submitted by the due date. Late assignment are not allowed. 
• You are required to submit a minimum of two postings. Points will be deducted for not fulfilling this minimum requirement.
• Apply and use the basic citation styles of APA is required. Points are deducted per the rubric for this behavior.
• Do not claim credit for the words, ideas, and concepts of  others. Use in-text citation and list the reference of your supporting  source following APA’s style and formatting. Points are deducted per the  rubric for this behavior.
• Do not copy and paste information or concepts from the Internet  and claim that is your work. It will be considered Plagiarism and you  will receive zero for your work. A second offense results in a zero for  the course. A third is termination from the university.

Discussion: This week we focus on the social and organizational issues that exist with better understanding why changes occurs.  This week discuss the phases of change noted in the Linear Development in Learning Approaches section in the Information Technology and Organizational Learning text. 

Textbook Name — Information Technology and Organizational Learning text.

Note: The first post should be made by Wednesday 11:59 p.m., EST. 

What are the implications of organizational changes?

   Compare and evaluate qualitative v quantitative risk assessment.  

Include at least 3 quotes from your sources enclosed in quotation marks and cited in-line by reference to your reference list.  Example: “words you copied” (citation) These quotes should be one full sentence not altered or paraphrased. Cite your sources using APA format. Use the quotes in your paragaphs.  

****Assignment #4 Makeup – Instead of in-fix notation for our maybe-probably logic language, you should implement the parse, evaluate, and print functions to work with pre-fix notation. The input strings will now be of the form, s = ‘ AND T M_0.5 ‘, and will not need parentheses. 

General structure of your make-up assignment (regardless of which one) should be as follows:

import unittest





class YourClass:

    """

    YOUR CLASS DOCUMENTATAION

    """



    def __init__(self, size):

        """ INSERT COMMMENTS (IN YOUR OWN WORDS) """

        pass



    # ADD YOUR OTHER METHODS HERE...





def YourFunctionA:

    """ DOCUMENTATION FOR THIS FUNCTION """

    pass



    # ADD YOUR OTHER FUNCTIONS HERE (IF NEEDED)...





class TestYourClassOrFuctions(unittest.TestCase):



    def testMethodA(self):

        """ INSERT DESCRIPTION OF WHAT THIS TEST IS CHECKING.. """

        pass



    # ADD MORE TESTS TO CHECK YOUR OTHER CLASSES/METHODS/FUNTIONS WORK





# main() - run any example/demo you want to when running as standalone program

def main():

    pass



# unittest_main() - run unittest's main, which will run TestHashTable's methods

def unittest_main():

    unittest.main()



# evaluates to true if run as standalone program

if __name__ == '__main__':

    main()

    unittest_main()

 Read an article or watch a video about a recipient of PMI’s Project of the Year award.

Search online for information from PMI’s website.

• Write a two page paper summarizing a winning project, focusing on how the project manager and team used good project management practices.

• A minimum of 500 words excluding the title page and references is required.
• Use APA format – Refer to APA Style 

• Cite your source, must have been written within the last five years.

Refer to Ch. 3, “Pine Valley Furniture Company Background,” in Part One, “Foundations for Systems Development,” of Modern Systems Analysis and Design. In this course, there are weekly assignments incorporating Pine Valley Furniture, and you might use components from the previous week’s assignment to complete future Pine Valley Furniture assignments. 

Imagine this scenario: You work for Pine Valley Furniture. The board of directors is considering launching a WebStore and does not know what is involved in developing a new system. You have been asked to present to the board of directors to help them know what to expect.

Create a 12- to 16-slide presentation directed to the board of directors in which you:

• Explain the importance of using systems analysis and design methodologies when building an information system.
• Justify the systems development life cycle (SDLC) implementation, and explain why that’s the best option, rather than the quick and easy process.
• Summarize the criteria for selecting commercial off-the-shelf software (COTS) presented in Modern Systems Analysis and Design, Ch. 2.
• Identify additional criteria that are, or might be, used to select COTS.
• Consider if the choice was between alternate custom software developers rather than pre-written packages.
• Select appropriate criteria for comparing multiple application custom development bids.
• Briefly define each of these criteria.
• Briefly summarize the project management process.
• Explain which of the 4 project management process phases you think is most challenging.
• Explain how to mitigate the risks for that stage.

Include speaker notes and media, such as graphics or tables.

Cite any references and graphics used to support your assignment.

Format your citations according to APA guidelines.

Case Study 2.1

Read “Can Technology Save Sears?” Case Study (see attached file)
Answer Questions.

Please use this strategy when you analyze a case:

1. Identify and write the main issues found discussed in the case (who, what, how, where and when (the critical facts in a case).
2. List all indicators (including stated “problems”) that something is not as expected or as desired.
3. Briefly analyze the issue with theories found in your textbook or other academic materials. Decide which ideas, models, and theories seem useful. Apply these conceptual tools to the situation. As new information is revealed, cycle back to sub steps a and b.
4. Identify the areas that need improvement (use theories from your textbook)
   • Specify and prioritize the criteria used to choose action alternatives.
   • Discover or invent feasible action alternatives.
   • Examine the probable consequences of action alternatives.
   • Select a course of action.
   • Design and implementation plan/schedule.
   • Create a plan for assessing the action to be implemented.
5. Conclusion (every paper should end with a strong conclusion or summary)

Writing Requirements

• 3–5 pages in length  (excluding cover page, abstract, and reference list)
• APA format, Use the APA template located in the Student Resource Center to complete the assignment.
• Please use the Case Study Guide as a reference point for writing your case study.

For this discussion, you will need to address the question below and be sure to participate fully by responding to your classmates as well. Citations should be used to support your analysis and references should be included in APA format. Before you begin, be sure to review the Discussion Question Guidelines!

Productivity software (such as Excel or Google Sheets) is used by almost every business. Think in terms of your own field of study and future profession, in what ways could you use productivity software to increase efficiency in your work?
