1. Technical Paper: Proof of Concept (POC)
   Your company is a 4-year-old startup called XYZ Software Enterprises. XYZ produces a point of sale system and was awarded a Proof of Concept (POC) to one of the largest and oldest restaurants in the industry (you know, the ones in the commercials all the time). The restaurant wants XYZ to prove that the software will do what the sales people said it could do.
   Your Proof of Concept will include four parts:
   • Part 1: Gantt Chart.
   • Part 2: Testing and User Acceptance Report.
   • Part 3: Use Case Diagram.
   • Part 4: Activity Diagram.
   • Part 1: Gantt Chart
     A Gantt Chart (see page 353, Figure 11-18 in your textbook) needs to be created for the entire process of the Proof of Concept. There is a two-month deadline from today to complete the POC.
     Using Visio or Excel, create a Gantt Chart that includes all of the items listed below and adds five more tasks minimum from the concepts learned from the course:
   • The initial meeting—today. 
     • Should appear as the first line.
   • Teams selected to participate in the project (1 week).
   • Information gathering (add the information gathering methods you will use and how long each will take).
   • System configurations based on information gathering methods (2 weeks).
   • Create Activity Chart based on information gathering (information to create chart supplied).
   • Create Use Case Diagram based on information gathering (information to create chart supplied).
   • Show the finished configurations to the team and get feedback (1 day).
   • Make changes based on feedback (3 days).
   • Install the system in the test store (2 days).
   • Train staff (1 day).
   • Run a live test of POC (2 weeks).
   • Note: The five or more additional tasks can be sub-tasks for information gathering methods as well some other sub-task or major task not in the initial list.
     You may add items from the SDLC, specific item or items on testing, or any other concept you think should be part of the POC process learned in the course of this semester.
     Note: Remember that events in a Gantt chart can happen at the same time as other events. Some items also cannot start until others are completed. Everything has an estimated time frame and it is displayed in the chart.
     Part 2: Testing and User Acceptance Report
     As part of the expected documentation in the POC, XYZ wants a report on Testing and User Acceptance.
     Your manager is asking you to research the testing criteria they listed in the POC documents.
     The POC document states that they are looking for the following:
   • System and Stress Testing.
   • User Acceptance Testing (UAT).
   • For both categories, research and report on the following:
   1. What these tests are.
   2. Why the industry leader would want these particular tests.
   3. The best ways, in detail, to accomplish the tests so that your company meets the criteria they are looking for.
   4. These items can be added to your Gantt Chart (Part 1).
      Part 3: Use Case Diagram
      The restaurant, as part of the information gathering, outlined a use case in a chart, which is below.
      Your manager assigned you to create the Use Case Diagram using Visio, MS Word, or any other software. (See the diagrams on Page 84 and 85 of the textbook.)
   • Paste the diagram into the created report.
   • USE CASEACTOROrder FoodWaiter, Patron, ChefServe FoodWaiterCook FoodChefPay for foodWaiter, PatronEat FoodPatronPart 4: Activity Diagram
     As a part of the information gathering process, a chart of items was provided by XYZ.
     Your manager has asked that you use Visio, MS Word, or any other software with which you are familiar to create the Activity Diagram (see pages 138 Figure 5-5 and 139 Figure 5-6 in the textbook.)
   • Paste the diagram into the created report.

   • You are the project leader for Casino Night on campus, a charitable event organized by your group to raise money for the homeless. The event was a big success, garnering a net profit of $3,500. Before the event your team researched nearby organizations that support the homeless and to whom the money could be given. You narrowed the choices to the “Chunk of Coal House” and “St. Mary’s Soup Kitchen.” Eventually your group decided that the funds be given to Chunk of Coal. You are about to write a check to its director when you read in the local newspaper that the Chunk of Coal House has terminated operations. What should you do with the money? 
   • You are the leader of a new product development project. Your team has worked hard on developing a third-generation product that incorporates new technology and meets customer demands.

Developing mockups of mobile application user interfaces is an important component of mobile application design. This week you will develop screen and dialog mockups for your final project.

Use the mobile application you selected last week. If you have not previously selected a mobile application to work on yet, make sure to do so early and work with your instructor. • The mockups you are creating simply display the way you want your app to look and how the UI is laid out. You can use one of the optional website tools, word processing software, presentation software, graphics programs, or even pencil and paper. • The mockups should include all the pages that you intend to create. This should at the very least include the home screen, the main application, and a credit screen. The mockups should include all the key elements that the user would either interact with or use for information/guidance on each screen. • Submit your mockups and reflect on the process and any challenges you faced along the way.
