Projects. Perform the project given
Form a group of two to five students as the project team for a systems development project. Elect one person as the team leader, who will assign tasks to each group member. Your team’s mission is to complete the planning phase for a systems development project and produce a Project Development Plan. The first task is to identify and briefly describe an information system at school, work, or local business that needs improvement. The second task is to make a list of problems and opportunities that exist in that system. The third task is to make a list of tasks your team would perform, design, construct, and implement a new information system. Finally, incorporate all your findings into a document that would serve as the Project Development Plan. Submit this plan to your instructor, who might provide additional directions for your group work and report format.
Create 10 rules for an expert system that pertains to your career field. To complete the assignment, think of a set of simple decisions that someone on the job might be required to perform. For example, a loan officer might be required to make a quick evaluation of a borrower, an auto mechanic might be required to figure out what various tapping noises mean, or a fitness instructor might be required to recommend the best type of fitness class for clients. Make a list of 10 rules that would help make the decision. The rules should be in the format IF…THEN…Submit your rules to your instructor.
