Abstract *Enter abstract here*

Chocoholics Anonymous
While assessing the needs of the Chocoholics Anonymous organization our team agreed unanimously that we wanted to gain the most value out of this project. We first sat down and decided our approach for how to handle this project in the most professional and business simulating way possible. During this sit down we agreed to treat this project like a real business venture. For that we would use a hybrid approach that consisted of some project management techniques as well as agile software engineering techniques. For this project we would need a finished result that can be used by developers to accomplish the tasks with very little questions.
To accomplish the project in the manner we set forward we needed to achieve a fine-grained set of requirements and specifications during multiple sessions of business and software analysis. This means we need to have all the items needed for development figured out and all assumptions handled ahead of development as a result of these sessions. We managed to set up mock actual sessions of requirements gathering like that of a actual business analysts. During these sessions we would go back and forth with problems from the project and come up with viable solutions and answers to these problems, documenting them as we proceeded. Then came the user interface, for this we put together ideas about what we would like to see in the user interface and how customers would interact with it. Next we considered the development process and how the structure and layout of classes and other items should and could look. For this we created diagrams to assist development efforts such as the collaboration diagrams and class diagrams. We decided on collaboration diagrams versus sequence diagrams in the

    I recently attended an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in a comfortable house in Santa Monica, California. The room was occupied by approximately 70 attendees, and even more sitting on the outside porch. The focus of this particular day’s meeting was step six of the 12-step program. The sixth step is stated as follows: “We’re entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character” (Wilson, 1939, p. 76). Following the definition and interpretation of the sixth step, the main speaker of the day came up to the podium to tell her story. This woman was a recovering alcoholic and ex-heroin user. She had been sober for 14 years before she relapsed, and as of now she has been sober for 16 years. She explained that she has struggled with alcohol…

This phase is refers to as the decisive moment. All the work that has been done up to this point to bring an idea to realty is coming to life. This phase is most expensive and time-consuming of the previous three phases. The work done in this phase is tedious, and requires the strictest focus to the attention of detail. The major activities involved in this area are coding, testing, installation, documentation, training, and support.

    As forms/reports are created at the end of the SDLC phase, I would start by collecting all pertinent data and information needed about the report. Additionally, asking questions about who its users are, what the purpose is, and when is it used/ needed, where does it need to be delivered, and how many people need to use/view this report? After all data was assembled and consolidated, I would begin by using Java, HTML, or Visual Basic, as reports/forms are integrally related to the DFD's and ER diagrams. After creating the prototype, I would share with the users to determine if any corrections or adjustments are needed.…

    Developing software is far from an exact science and without a structured system to guide the process a project is likely to fail. Defining and adhering to a Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) early in the project will help to guide the development of a new information system. In addition to having the structure for the development team to work within a defined and agree upon SDLC will help to set the proper expectations for deliverables with the stakeholders and customer(s). Smith Consulting has been given the task of creating a Frequent Shopper program for Kudler Fine Foods. As a result Smith Consulting needs to decide on which SDLC will work best for this project. In addition to selecting a SDLC to use Smith Consulting will need to determine how testing will be conducted. The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast Waterfall and Scrum SDLC's, including how testing will be performed for each, such that Smith Consulting will be able to make an informed decision on which methodology to use when creating the Frequent Shopper Program for Kudler Fine Foods.…

    The type of meeting I decided to attend was an Alcoholics Anonymous held on campus by a fellow University of Cincinnati student. She said that she decided to begin to hold the meetings on the UC main campus because she has had a long history of being an alcoholic and she knew that out of a university of 30,000+ students, she could not be the only person suffering from this condition. There were two additional people who attended the meeting (a male and a female), as well as six classmates who were observing the meeting, and a baby (the child of the woman holding the meeting).…

We have to commend you for your “STRENGTH” and “COURAGE.” AGAIN, you should be very proud of yourself for making an enormous and the most important step towards recovery by admitting that you are “POWERLESS” over alcohol and secondly that your life is unmanageable and chaotic. Yet, you chose to come clean with this behavior because you want to live a healthier lifestyle away from alcohol and addiction(s). By committing to Alcoholics Anonymous, you have already chosen to “set yourself free” from alcoholism…
