continue your work to support the development and implementation of the new Service Department for Appliance Warehouse.

For this week’s assignment, be sure to refer to Appliance Warehouse Resources: Survey results, Pre-packaged software features, as well as, chapter 7 Development Strategies, and chapter 8 User Interface Design.

Directions

In MindTap, review the Appliance Warehouse Case, and do the following:

· Read the Before You Begin Message and the Module 8-10 Appliance Warehouse Webmail Client Emails. Read the messages to help determine the tasks you must complete.

· Review and analyze the weekly Appliance Warehouse case study content and resources.

Create an 8- to 10-slide presentation with speaker notes (to submit in Blackboard) for senior management with the following:

· Service Department Software Design: To build a logical model for the new information system, a system analyst must decide on whether to use a SaaS or use an in-house customized software. For this section, ensure you:

· Research service-based business applications that allow for appointment setting and service provider scheduling.

· Prepare a list of 4 pros and 4 cons for each of the following:

· SaaS

· An in-house customized software

· Recommend SaaS or in-house software and state your reasoning.

· Software Requirements: Identify 7-10 requirements the software must do to support the Services Department.

· Develop a Communication Plan: Explain how stakeholders and managers will be kept informed regarding project process. Your plan should include the form of communication (status reports,meetings, etc.), frequency, and specific project milestones that will aid in determining where the implementation stands.

Before You Begin – Assignment Specific

Going forward with in-house development, Carlie Davis is now requesting that you design SIM’s User-Interface (UI). The way an application looks and its ease of use is critical to its acceptance and success. Consider how to get these items approved by the users. During this stage, you will be designing system pages and reports. It is important to determine which hardware SAM will run on. If the software is going to run on mobile devices, the programmers need to plan the user interface accordingly.

Hi Kevin,

After your presentation last week, the manager thinks an in-house solution is the way to go. Although our programmers have much experience with system integration and development, they have little experience with user design. You’ll have to lay out all the pages of the system. For now, just create a hierarchical drawing of all the pages needed for this system. Think of the menu on the top of the screen and what you’d click on to move to the next screen.

Once you finish the hierarchy, I’ll need you to draw out examples of a few of the screens. For example, show a screen with a menu, another which requests user input, one that has methods to contact us, and the last one as an informational page. The menu screen can be an opening page or even a page to decide on types of reports to run. The user input page can be one for any of the users, such as the appointment setters or technicians. Make sure that you outline all of the required validation rules for this input page. The informational page can either be a static page or results from a search. Make sure that you include navigation buttons on each of these example pages.

I think it would be a nice touch to include our logo on all of these screens.

Hi Kevin,

The developers want to know if this new application should run on a mobile platform. If so, they want to know if it should be created with responsive web design? What do you think would be the best and why?

I was wondering if prototyping this system might be more effective. What are the advantages and disadvantages to this approach?

Please give me your thoughts on these items by the end of the day today.

Thanks.

Carlie

Hi Kevin,

Don’t forget that we have a lunch scheduled on Friday at the corner deli. It should be fun!

I know I’ve asked for some other mockups this week but could you also mockup samples of three different report types (detail, exception, and summary)? Mae is having a difficult time visualizing how one of her summary reports would look like. Also, Maddox Farley wants to know what the parts report will look like that he will be using several times a day.

How do you plan on distributing each of these reports when SIM is up and running?

If you could get me these samples soon, I’d appreciate it. I’m meeting with Mae and Maddox first thing on Thursday.

Thanks.

Carlie

 As you journey through this unit and are honing your critical thinking skills, you might recognize many ideas identified in the Game Plan. To assist in your critical thinking process, the Game Plan (located on pages 38-42 in your textbook) was created to help assist you in making critical decisions through the use of 10 strategies. This assignment calls for you to complete a table that will focus on a recent experience in your life.

Within the table, you will identify your experience, how you reacted to the experience, two game-plan strategies that could have changed your outcome, and what the new outcome might have been.  Make sure you address the components listed below:

 Describe the situation and why it was important to you. Describe how you reacted. Identify two of the strategies identified in the book, and develop critical thinking questions you would ask yourself as a part of your self-assessment. Include bullet points sharing your decision-making process. Address the new outcomes/solutions resulting from the integration of these strategies

I need a substantive post regarding Role Development of the Advanced Practice Nurse. I attached part of chapter 4 for the writing with references. Please follow instructions carefully. Include references. thank you. 

Professor instructions to follow:  

Is it at least 150 words in length?

Is it directly related to this week’s topics?

Are your observations supported by the ideas of outside experts (like the lectures, text, supplemental readings, or other published resources) ?

Are the ideas of outside experts properly cited in APA format?

Does it include a question to the class?

 When you use the ideas of others, you must give credit through an in-text citation and a reference. Finally, any references must conform to the APA version 6 standard as described in the APA Sample Paper in CWE. 

Unit 5, Modules 17-20 focus on various qualities of leadership, including how to listen, how to work in groups, how to conduct meetings, and how to present orally.

For this final blog of the course, you will create a Professional Leadership Statement based on your experience as well as your reading of these modules in your book.

What is a Leadership Statement?

A Leadership Statement is a self-reflective exercise that asks you to think about your purpose in leading, your values, and your beliefs about who you are as a leader and how you lead others. 

We will begin by identifying the core experiences and role models that have influenced their leadership. Many find this to be a chance to include a personal experience of leadership (think “Class President” in high school or Shift Manager at Starbucks). Others may describe someone who has led them in the past (think Pastor Rick from church, Sargent Rios from the Army, Mrs. Smith from middle school, or Coach Thompson from pee-wee football).

Leaders understand the ‘we’ vision – something that inspires an organization, investors, or a department. No smart leader would consider leadership without thinking about others first.

Yet few leaders can clearly identify their own personal beliefs on leadership. So, if leaders consider the ‘we’ vision vital to organizational success, why don’t they think it’s equally vital to have one for themselves, given that they are leading?

What You Need to Include

As you reflect on your Personal Leadership Statement should address some these questions:

• What is your core purpose as a leader? Why are you here, doing what you do? Why would anyone want to be led by you?
• What type of leader are you? What models of leadership speak to your experience and/or how you want to be perceived when you are in a position of leadership?
• How do you demonstrate leadership through written communication? How do you use written communication to lead meetings and presentations?
• Who are your leadership role models and what did you learn from them? Who is your inspiration? What three or four critical events in your life shaped your beliefs about leadership?
• What do you believe about leading and motivating people? What values and principles are reflected in your plans, decisions, and actions when leading others?
• What can people expect from you? What are your intentions and commitments? How do you set an example?
• What do you expect from your people?

How to Create Your Leadership Statement

You may approach this assignment in several ways. You could, of course, write it out in several paragraphs (250-500 words). If you choose the paragraph format, include a graphic, photo, or other visual element to your blogs to earn full credit on the rubric.

You could re-think this statement, though by representing it through visuals or collaging it. You could create an infographic as you did for the Week 2 Blog.

Be sure to reference the ideas in your book. You do not need to quote and cite directly, but you should make it clear that you have carefully reviewed Unit 5.
