New Service Manager Starts Case Study
CASE MODULE CM4
Go to MindTap Module 4: Appliance Warehouse (AW) Case, read the project manager’s (Carlie Davis) emails. Refer to the AW website, template library, and resource library to get more needed information. Each team completes the following tasks: Make a list of employees who you will want to interview. List the name of the position/role (at least five), not the name of the person. The organizational chart from CM2 may be one of the best references for this task. You decide to interview two people from your above list, and they are from different department. Write at least 10 questions to interview each person in open-ended questions (at least 7 questions), closed-ended and range-of-response questions. So there are two sets of questionnaire and each has 10 interview questions. Which of the techniques do you think we should use? Joint Application Development (JAD) technique or the Rapid Application Development technique (RAD)? You need to send the questionnaire out to the users of the proposed system. Did you want to send the questionnaire to all the users or do you want to do a stratified or systematic sample?
Emily comes to us with
25 years of experience in the service repair industry. Emily began
her career as a service technician and quickly moved through the
ranks to the first female service manager in ABC Appliance Service
Company’s history. After 17 years, she went to work for Acme
Appliance Repair. Over the last 8 years, the revenue for Acme
increased by 200% after being stagnant for the preceding 5
years.
Our new service
manager starts work today! This is great news! As our business
starts to expand, we must move our software project along.
You will need to talk
to some of our employees to better understand the functionality and
requirements for the proposed system. This is important because
they are the key stakeholders of the system. You should make a list
of employees who you will want to interview. I suggest that you
learn the process for scheduling an appliance repair appointment
and how the parts are obtained for those repair visits. Also, it is
important to understand what reports that managers are hoping to
extract from the new system. I find it is helpful to write down
questions prior to your meetings so that you don’t forget the
topics that you want to cover.
My suggestion is to
write at least 10 questions per person prior to the meeting. Make
sure that you use open-ended questions (at least 7 questions) to
get the employees talking. You should also use closed response and
range of response questions. I find that each type of question can
provide valuable information and are quite useful in requirements
gathering
Please i need
questions to me for at least two of the interviews. I’d like to see
what you are planning to discuss.
We have previously
used both the Joint Application Development technique and the Rapid
Application Development technique. However, many colleagues of mine
swear by the agile technique. Each of these methodologies offer up
some great advantages. Since we need to get this project done as
quickly as possible, which of these techniques do you think we
should use? I want to ensure that we’ve created software that will
handle all of our users’ requirements and that it is a robust
system.

systematic sample?
Please send your draft
