You have been asked to create a PowerPoint presentation designed to help new students identify the many new and exciting options for student success and COMP program focus at AIU. For example, the Virtual Campus has important features to enhance a student\’s learning experience. This includes student resources, instant messaging, Live Chat, intellipath, e-mail, and announcements.You will create a PowerPoint presentation that provides new students with a visual walk-through of the many AIU success and technology options. Not only should you describe them; you should explain when and why you might use each one of these items in the virtual classroom environment. Indicate to your schoolmates the advantages of each resource and provide a recommendation for how often you might check or use each of these features. Be sure to use the  in PowerPoint to provide your general presentation script for each slide.At a minimum, the following sections should be addressed for this project:Your PowerPoint presentation should contain the minimum slides listed below and include your presentation script (what you plan to say about he information shown on the slide) for each slide in the :At a minimum, your final product should reflect that you have mastered the following:You are to include advanced features such as transitions, audio, animations, and movie elements as you feel appropriate to support your presentation.Save this file as \”(your last name_your first name) PowerPoint IP3.pptx\” (e.g., Doe_John PowerPoint IP3.pptx).This PowerPoint file should then be submitted to your Unit 3 Individual Project Submissions area.For more information on creating PowerPoint presentations, please complete the Unit 3 intellipath assignments and visit the PowerPoint Lab in the Learning Center.This assignment will also be assessed using additional criteria provided .

The Incident Command System (ICS)…is it a much needed concept or is the government making it too difficult for first responders?  Explain your position.  In no more than , describe the ICS and how it can assist before, during and after a terrorist attack. In the reading for this module, Gordon presents a vision for victory over terrorism that does NOT depend on its complete eradication. Do you think this approach makes sense based on we have discussed in the course so far? Explain your reasoning. Briefly explain each of the five considerations discussed by Russell Howard.  Which do you feel is most important to the war on terrorism and why?

You are going to continue the process of finding a solution to your chosen problem. This project is going to go through the next two steps of the problem solving heuristic (decide and implement).The assignment will be broken down into 3 parts:Decision on solution (20 Points): A solution to the problem will be selected. Selection will be done through the use of a K.T. Decision analysis. An adverse consequences analysis will be completed as well to ensure the chosen solution is a better choice. A K.T. Potential Problem Analysis will also be completed to identify possible problems that should be addressed in the implementation of the chosen solution. Diagrams showing the use of those three analyses will be submitted as part of the project.Implementation of solution (20 points): Implementation of your chosen solution will be planned. Planning for implementation will be done through the use of multiple time and resource charts. A Gantt chart, critical path chart, deployment chart, and a budget will be need to be created and submitted as part of the project.Oral Presentation (15 Points) and Report (20 Points): A presentation showing the decision made to solve the problem and how it would be implemented will be presented to the class as an oral presentation. The oral presentation will require a visual aid. A report will also need to be submitted (in written form) that outlines everything that was done about the problem .

Managing Social Change DISCUSSION 1 (KIM WOODS)
Locate an article that addresses the idea of creativity in organizations and how creativity can have a positive impact on an organization’s effectiveness. Summarize, then critique the article.

You have been asked to develop a pizza ordering application. Here is the information your manager just shared with you about this software development project.The pizza ordering application allows customers with a web browser to order pizza for home delivery. To place an order, a customer would search to find items to purchase (specialty pizzas, sodas, desserts, salads, etc.), and then add items one at a time to a shopping cart. They could also view a page that showed the daily special. The customer could search again for more items if they wanted. They would also have the option to build their own pizza with as many toppings as they liked. When all items were chosen, the customer would see the cost of their order, and also be prompted to provide a delivery address for that specific order. If not paying with cash, the customer would provide credit or debit card information for use on the current order. The system should have an option for customers to register with the pizza shop. They could then save their name, address information and e-mail address, so that they wouldn’t have to enter this information every time they placed an order. If they didn’t want to save their personal details on the site, they could register their e-mail address only, which would let them receive coupons and updates on special promotions.To complete this assignment, make assumptions as needed–1.Identify the following information about the pizza ordering application:a.Purpose or goal of the systemb.Primary user(s) of the system2.Assume the role of the customer. Identify 10 user requirements in user story format “As a (), I want (), so that I can ().”3.Identify 5 functional requirements and 2 or more non-functional requirements using the “shall” format from Chapter 4.4.Identify 5 use case scenarios and create a simple use case UML diagram for each.i.Complete a UML activity diagram that provides a high level overview of the major processes that characterize the pizza ordering application.ii.Assume a Test Driven Development approach. Identify 5 or more failing tests and what you would do to make them pass. These tests will form the basis of your unit testing strategy.iii.Identify whether a plan-driven “waterfall” software development approach or an agile framework or methodology might be more suitable for this software development project. Justify your recommendation.1.Identify the evolution and maintenance related items that should be considered when planning to develop the pizza ordering software application.2.Identify ten or more risks that could develop with this project. What is the probability or likelihood that each risk might occur, and what would be the effect to your pizza ordering application if it did? What is your plan to either avoid, minimize or recover from (i.e., contingency plan) each of these risks if they were to occur?  Present your risk analysis as a Risk Register in a tabular format, with the highest impacts/effects listed first.3.Project Planning Assignments:a.Use the 10 user story requirements from Milestone #1 for this assignment. For each user story, identify the effort in person-days and duration of each deliverable. If one user story is dependent on another, identify that relationship.b. Use the 10 user story requirements from Milestone #1 for this assignment. Assuming a 2-week sprint cycle or iteration, identify how many sprints this software development project will take to complete. Identify which user stories will be completed within each sprint and what considerations went into your sizing decision.i.Be sure to rank the user stories from highest to lowest priority.ii.Be sure the most important user stories are completed before the least important user stories.
