1. BUA 235: Team Project
And Chap 10âs
Information Systems Development- SDLC
2. AOL: Teamwork
⢠Goal 4: Teamwork
⢠Students will understand the fundamental
concepts of teamwork, and demonstrate the
ability to work in teams.
3. Corresponding Objectives:
⢠Students will identify the elements in building
effective teams; students will articulate the
team goal and their individual contributions to
the team goal and students will describe the
significant roles and contributions of team
members
4. Why teamwork?
⢠Because of synergy in groups is remarkable
⢠We are assessing group effectiveness in order
to place individual personalities in
perspective, value differences that arise, and
meld diverse approaches into effective
teamwork
5. Effective Teams
⢠The most effective teams are the ones where
everyone understands their unique jobs and
then (of course) does them
6. What is measured when determining
Effective teamwork?
⢠Do all members know what specific goals the team is
trying to accomplish?
⢠Do team members agree on that the specific goals
identified?
⢠What activities does the team choose to undertake or
assign in order to achieve its goals?
â Did any particular activity work particularly well in getting
goals met?
7. Team effectiveness continued
⢠Did each team member
have a specific âeven
unique---responsibility(s)
that helped the team
achieve its goal?
⢠Is the work stimulating
and worth your time?
⢠Does your team have the
resources to achieve its
goals?
⢠Resources include;
â Organization
â Leadership
â Communication
â Talents /skills
â time
8. Your Team Project
⢠The team project consists of developing an inventory information
system using MS Access 2007. Specific deliverables of the team
project will include;
⢠A list of three to five business requirements that state how the
information system should work
⢠An Entity Relationship (ER) Model that graphically represents
specific information system entities. These entities include; tables,
relationship types, fields, and field data types
⢠The completed information system itself. This information system
will include; tables, forms, queries, macros, relationships, various
reports, and a main menu for accessing information system
resources.
9. To start the project
⢠Teams will be setup first. Next
week
⢠Information Systems Cases
will be assigned to each team:
Next week
⢠Team leaders will have to
choose a electronic platform,
Google Docs, Wiggio, etc⌠to
manage communication,
workflow, and Content
management
⢠Deliverables:
⢠Business Requirements and ER
Diagram Report
⢠The Information system itself
built using MS Access 2007
/2010
⢠DUE: Report and Info system
due on 12/2/2010
⢠Team Presentations: Dec 7-9
10. What is Systems Development?
⢠Systems development, or systems analysis and design
⢠Process of creating and maintaining information
systems
11. System development not just for
Techies!
⢠Establishing the systemâs goals, setting up the
project, and determining requirements require
business knowledge and management skill.
⢠Tasks such as building computer networks and
writing computer programs require technical
skills.
⢠Developing the other components requires
nontechnical, human relations skills.
12. Non-technical, human relations skills
required!
⢠Creating data models requires the ability to interview users
and understand their view of the business activities.
⢠Designing procedures, especially those involving group action,
requires business knowledge and an understanding of group
dynamics.
⢠Developing job descriptions, staffing, and training all require
human resource and related expertise.
⢠Coordinated teamwork of both specialists and non-specialists
with business knowledge.
13. IS systems never âoff the shelfâ
⢠Information systems involve people and procedures, therefore
procedures must be constructed or adapted to fit business and
people, regardless of how computer programs are obtained.
⢠You will have a key role in information systems development.
⢠Ensuring that effective procedures exist for using the information
system
⢠Ensuring that personnel are properly trained and are able to use the
IS effectively
⢠Single most important criterion for information systems success is
for users to take ownership of their systems.
14. Difficulties Associated with Systems
development
⢠Systems development is difficult
and risky.
⢠Many projects are never finished.
⢠Some finish 200 to 300 percent
over budget.
⢠Others finish within budget and
schedule, but never satisfactorily
accomplish their goals.
15. Requirements Determination
⢠What features do you want?
⢠Do you really need them?
⢠What kind of controls do you want?
⢠What functions should it have?
⢠What data do you have?
⢠What information do you want provided?
⢠Must create environment where difficult questions are
asked and answered
16. Challenges associated with Virtual
Teams
⢠Remember chap 2?
⢠Content management
requires a means to
manage multiple users
that are contributing and
changing documents,
schedules, task lists,
assignments, and so onâŚ.
⢠Factors that will effect
collaboration include;
⢠unique dimensions of
virtuality include;
⢠geographic dispersion,
⢠electronic dependence,
⢠cultural diversity, and
⢠dynamic structure.
