Writing Assignment

Write a paper on migrating to the cloud. The following are the items to discuss in the paper:

• List and describe common system requirements one should consider before moving an application to the cloud.
• Discuss why a company should consider using a consultant to oversee a cloud migration and list specific skills you would expect the consultant to have.
• List and discuss resource utilization characteristics one should monitor for an application prior to moving the application to the cloud.
• List possible training requirements for a SaaS solution integration, a PaaS application migration, and an IaaS application migration.

Paper requirements:

• Minimum 1200 words (excluding title page, table of contents, abstract, and references pages)
• Minimum of four (4) references
• Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines
• When submitting the assignment, please ensure you are submitting as an attached MS Word document.

Just like you did in assignment 2.1, you will create a 1-2 page single-spaced Analysis of Research abstract published scholarly articles related to a topic you selected in 2.2. However, this time you need to review a different methodology than you previously did (i.e. if you reviewed a quantitative article in 2.1, you will do a qualitative one in 2.2 and vice versa). 

Brevity and being concise are important as this analysis is intended to be a brief summation of the research.

Each abstract must therefore consist of the following in this order:

1. Bibliographic Citation – use the correctly formatted APA style citation for the work as the title of your abstract, displaying the full citation in bold font.

2. Author Qualifications – name and qualification of each author conducting the research

3. Research Concern – one paragraph summary of the reason for the overall research topic

4. Research Purpose Statement AND Research Questions or Hypotheses – specific focus of the research

5. Precedent Literature – key literature used in proposing the needed research (not the full bibliography or reference list)

6. Research Methodology – description of the population, sample, and data gathering techniques used in the research

7. Instrumentation – description of the tools used to gather data (surveys, tests,interviews, etc.)

8. Findings – summation of what the research discovered and the types of analysis that were used to describe the findings (tables, figures, and statistical measures)

IT and business managers see inefficiencies in everyday processes, as these inefficiencies are often related to current systems in place. As such, IT and business managers need to identify these issues to senior management and offer solutions.

In this interactive assignment, you will analyze the role of CRM systems in business and assess the issues that make a CRM system necessary for successful customer relationship management. Assume the role of an IT Manager working for an organization where there is no CRM in place. You may use a business scenario of your choice (this may be a real world scenario with which you are familiar or one you create). For your initial post, you will create PowerPoint presentation and screencast video of your PowerPoint. This presentation will be created for your CIO and should provide all pertinent information.

Your PowerPoint presentation must include a minimum of four inefficient processes you have identified related to recent customer interactions. Consider the CRM research you conducted and present to your CIO the CRM that best meets your needs. Include a rationale as to how it will alleviate the identified inefficiencies, providing a minimum of four reasons why the CRM and the vendor chosen would be the solution for your organization. Support your statements with evidence from your required and researched sources.

Discuss the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA, web services, and microservices. How are the similar? Different? Where might each be used? What are some examples of each?

Assignment Content

1. Tony and his project team identified some risks during the first month of the Recreation and Wellness Intranet Project. However, all they did was document the risks in a list. They never ranked the risks or developed any response strategies. Because the project has had several problems, such as key team members leaving the company, users being uncooperative, and team members not providing good status information, Tony decided to be more proactive in managing risks and want to address positive risks as well as negative risks.

   Complete the following tasks:

   1. Create a risk register for the project. Identify 6 potential risks, including risks related to the problems described in the previous paragraph. Include negative and positive risks.
   2. Develop a 45- to 90-word response strategy for each risk. Enter the information in the risk register.
   3. Write a separate 175-word paragraph describing what specific tasks would be required to implement the strategy. Include time and cost estimates for each strategy.
   4. Submit your risk register with the response strategy and explanation.

      Note: A Risk Register template is available, but it is not required that you use it. 
       

Refer Attached the instructions

Questions:

(1)  In the chapter 10, if you did not use a development methodology what were the problems you encountered?  How does the size of the project team affect the need for a development methodology?  How does it affect the formality of the methodology?

(2) In the chapter 11, the PMBOK is a large body of knowledge.  Many of the principles apply to software development, but some do not fit as well. Discuss each of the nine areas of the PMBOK to compare software development concepts against building a building type of project.

(3) In the chapter 12, if a use case diagram is modified due to a design omission, which diagrams would need to be revisited and potentially revised? During the design of interaction diagrams, if a missing actor is identified, which diagrams would need to be revisited and potentially revised?

(4) In the chapter 12, three layer design defines the responsibilities for the view layer, domain layer, and data access layer classes. Should these classes be designed by one person, or should each layer be designed by different people with separate knowledge of the view layer, the business logic layer, and the data access layer? Which is more important, getting the overall structure right, or capturing the details for each layer?
