  1. Based on what you learned in the Unit 05 class lecture (see Wrap Up) augment and improve the Use Case Template (page 5) to include secure/security requirements and document the additions for the security requirements you propose with definitions for the new elements you propose in Section 3 Use Case Definition.  Upload your “Security Enhanced Use Case Template” document in PDF format to Canvas.  Be sure to add your name to the file name and the cover page of the document.
  2. Modify the CIS Outage Notification Application Functional Requirements Specification by: A) adding new security functional specifications (e.g. login identity and authentication use case, access control authorization use case) and B) augmenting the definitions of the use cases. Upload your “Security Enhanced CIS Outage Notification Application Functional Requirements Specification” in PDF format to Canvas.  Be sure to add your name to the file name and the cover page of the document.
  3. Structure the CIS Outage Notification Application’s data requirements within a class diagram that you draw, showing the relevant classes, attributes, operations and relationships among the classes.  Upload your “CIS Outage Notification  Application’s data requirements class diagram in PDF format to Canvas.  Be sure to add your name to the file name and the cover page of the document.

  1. Which of the four phases of the project management process do you feel is most challenging?  Why?
  2. What are sources of risk in a system analysis and design project?  How does a project manager cope with risk during the stages of project management?
  3. A project has been defined to contain the following list of activities along with their required times for completion:
Activity No. Activity Time in Weeks  Predecessors
1 Collect requirements 3
2 Analyze processes 2
3 Analyze data 2 1
4 Design processes 6 2
5 Design data 3 3
6 Design screens 2 3, 4
7 Design reports 4 4, 5
8 Program 5 6, 7
9 Test and document 7 7
10 Install 2 8, 9

3.A Draw a network diagram for the activities

3.B Calculate the earliest expected completion time

3.C Show the critical path

3.D What would happen if activity 6 were revised to take six weeks instead of two weeks?

3.E Construct a GANTT chart for the project (with tasks as specified in the table above)

3.F Look again at the activities and create a new diagram that is updated to reflect the following: Your team is in first week of the project and has discovered that each of the activity duration estimates is wrong. Activity 2 will take only one week to complete. Activities 4 and 7 will each take three times longer than anticipated. All other activities will take twice as long to complete as previously estimated. In addition, a new activity number 11 called “Stabilization”  has been added. It will take one week to complete, and its immediate predecessors are activities 10 and 9. Adjust the network diagram and recalculate the earliest expected completion times.
