 Explain in your own words what some of the challenges are with the Change Management Process for IT security. 

 Create  an Evaluation Matrix Chart in Excel that will let you compare the 3  careers at technology companies side by side on each criterion.  What should be in the matrix are: 

1. Three technology careers from Chapter 3. (i.e. system analysis, software engineer, help desk technician) to evaluate. 
2. Five criteria (all students must use these criteria).   
   1. Salary
   2. Education/Certification
   3. Career Outlook (what percentage of jobs will be available in the future)
   4. Duties
   5. Work Schedule

Look  up the criteria for each of your careers/professions on the Bureau of  Labor and Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook at https://www.bls.gov/ooh/ and O*Net  https://www.onetonline.org/.  You may use other sources of information.    Create 2 Excel worksheets.    

1. The first is your Excel matrix chart with formulas  to calculate weighted scores and totals using a mixed cell reference.  This will enable you to see which career scored best with the raw scores  and then which career scored best with the weighted scores. Divide 100 points among the criteria, with the highest number of points going to the criteria that is most important to you. 
2. The second  is a chart of your results from the matrix.  The chart may be the style  of your choice. It must give good information about the data in your  worksheet with your matrix. Name each worksheet in the workbook  appropriately. Submit your file with both worksheets into the Blackboard  assignment.

  An example of the matrix is in this section as an attachment.  Watch videos in the video reference folder for guidance.  Additional Resources available under GCFLearnFree.org section.   Do not forget to record your sources/references.

By summarizing your findings in a brief executive summary, you are showing how you use your technical knowledge to convey your ideas to others in a professional setting. Your ability to express your findings using the right mix of technical detail in a business context is an important workplace skill.

The following evaluation criteria aligned to the competencies will be used to grade your assignment:

• 1.1.1: Articulate the main idea and purpose of a communication.

1. ERD

For this phase, assume you are a member of a team of database and Graphical User Interface (GUI) developers/analysts. As a member of the database team, you are required to create an ER Diagram that will facilitate the development of Health Care Options’ company-wide database (see the Heath Care Options, Inc. document in the Resources section for details on the company). It should be created using Entity-Relationship (ER) Assistant and include entities, attributes, and relationships.

The scope of the database includes all entities referenced in the case study. The goal of this phase of development is to support a scheduling system that will replace the current spreadsheet process, but your database should be designed to support all of the company’s current and future needs. Note that your team will not actually create the scheduling system. You are responsible only for designing the database that will be used by the system. Subsequent phases will include table design and broaden the scope to support billing and cost report compilation. Thus, plan and design your initial database carefully, as it will affect your future deliverables.

2. CREATE TABLE Statements

Based on your ERD design, in step 1, write and execute the CREATE TABLE statements for each of the tables. Be sure to create primary, foreign key, and NOT NULL constraints as appropriate.

To receive full credit for this assignment, all of your CREATE TABLE statements must be executed in Microsoft Structured Query Language (MS SQL) Server. 

In addition to creating the tables, you must add at least 3 rows of data to each one. If there are any errors in your ERD, you will likely find them yourself at this point in the process and make any needed adjustments to your design. Remember, order matters when you are creating tables and loading data. 

Finally, execute the following commands for each table and print out the results to show that you have successfully performed the CREATE TABLE step of this assignment and have populated the tables correctly.

exec sp_help [table name]

select * from [table name]

What you will submit:

Submit your ERD file (created in ER Assistant) along with a Word document that contains the following:

1. CREATE TABLE statements for all of the tables in your ERD.

2. Screenshots of each table you created after running the exec sp_help and select statements described above.

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.

SubjecT: Information Technology Project Management

Please check attached template and add below details for 9 slides.

Add meeting notes because we need record presentation and submit it.

4. Three thinks they learned

Take these individual findings and, as a team, identify:

1. Top three positive things about the project

3. Top three areas for improvement as a team

4. A brief description of the Team’s impression of the project, working remotely, and anything else you want me to know.

Give an example of a while loop, then provide the equivalent do-while loop and for loop.  Then give a different example of a do-while loop, along with the equivalent while loop and for loop. Finally, give an example of a for loop, along with the equivalent while loop and do-while loop. Use your examples to illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of each looping structure, and describe those advantages and disadvantages.
