Question Description

Capstone Project Scenario:

You have been asked to develop an ordering application for a restaurant that serves American style Chinese food and specializes in delivery. Here is the information your manager just shared with you about this software development project.

The Chinese food ordering application allows customers with a web browser to order their selection of menu items for home delivery. To place an order, a customer would search to find items to purchase (main entrees, sodas, soups, sides, 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 dishes, starting a choice of rices or noodles and adding main selections (When in doubt, use Panda Express as a refernce). 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 restaurant. 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–just be sure to document any assumptions you make.

Milestone #1 (75 points)

Identify the following information about the Chinese food ordering application:

a.  Purpose or goal of the system

b.  Primary user(s) of the system

2.  Assume the role of the customer. Identify 10 user requirements in user story format “As a (role), I want (feature), so that I can (justification/benefit).”

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.

Milestone #2 (50 points)

1.  Complete a UML activity diagram that provides a high level overview of the major processes that characterize the Chinese food ordering application.

2.  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.

3.  Identify whether a plan-driven “waterfall” software development approach or an agile framework or methodology might be more suitable for this software development project. Explain your recommendation.

Milestone #3 (50 points)

1.  Identify the evolution and maintenance related items that should be considered when planning to develop the Chinese food 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 Chinese food 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.

a.  Project Planning Assignments:

b.  Plan-driven “waterfall” planning approach assignment: 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.

i.  Agile SCRUM planning approach assignment: 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.

ii.  Be sure to rank the user stories from highest to lowest priority.

3.  Be sure the most important user stories are completed before the least important user stories.

At some point in your professional career, you may work within or alongside inpatient and outpatient settings. Working in these settings can be similar to working in two completely different “health care worlds.” What exactly are the differences between outpatient and inpatient medicine? Fundamentally, inpatient means checking into the hospital or care facility, while outpatient defines health care that can be administered without staying at the hospital. However, what has been prescribed above is the most basic terms of outpatient and inpatient services. 

Please watch this short clip:

Outpatient Treatment vs. Inpatient Treatment: An Honest Comparison 

Develop a more complete appreciation of the inpatient setting. 

References should be no more than 5 years old. Web sites are only acceptable when accessing a government site. Web sites should only be from reliable sources.

Based on your findings, write a graduate level comparative analysis of inpatient and outpatient services that clearly addresses the following:

• 1. Identify and describe an inpatient setting (e.g., acute inpatient units, inpatient rehabilitation, skilled nursing, etc.) and an outpatient setting to include the services provided, key personnel within the department, and how this department supports or is supported by other departments.
• 2. Identify, describe, and evaluate a current trend that is currently impacting inpatient and outpatient services. These can be trends related to technology, supply and demand, political climate, regulatory, demographic changes, or patient care.
• 3. Analyze the trends, and thinking as a health care administrator, how do you capitalize on these trends to improve operation and bottom line performance? How can you mitigate the negative impact of the trends? 

Length: 3-4 pages, not including the title or reference page(s).

Question Description

Evidence-based systematic literature review and analysis is conducted to respond to a patient problem that requires a solution. Such a review of the literature includes a focused, systematic review from library databases to gather the most current research literature. In this exercise, you are asked to review literature relevant to the US Heath care system. (Note: You will have made progress in gathering literature for the paper later in the course). The most common way to display literature is with an evidence-based literature table. The table is analyzed to provide recommendations for guidelines and standard of care for the patient problem. Thus, you can contribute to your agency with improved patient care procedures and policy that ultimately can inform quality of care. An important initial step to effectively and efficiently search the literature is to formulate a PICOT Question. The kind of PICOT question selected is based upon what kind of patient care problem/issue you wish to resolve.

Address “Diabetes type 2 Management for Adult patients” and write a 1page APA format with references in-text citation APA format including the below info

; the following sections in the posting: (a) brief nursing situation, (b) the kind of PICOT question, and (c) the actual PICOT question.

• Post to the discussion area a brief nursing situation, the kind of PICOT question, and the actual PICOT question using the steps as follows:
  • Step 1-Identify a nursing situation using 3^rd person. No use of I statements as this is not a personal reflection of nursing care. As used here, the nursing situation specifies the problem you are attempting to resolve. Here is an example: Example Only: Mr. Jones, a 40 year-old experienced abdominal pain that transverses his abdomen. He was returning to the ER for the third time during the month with bloating and moderate pain. He has a no history of previous GI problems.The staff identifies his return as typical of a frequent flyer, though Mr. Jones states that he does not use illegal substances nor does he like to use the ER. Upon further history, Mr. Jones says he eats sushi at least three times a week.
  • Step 2-Specify the kind of PICOT Question (1-2 statements). The kind of question specifies the purpose for the review of evidence. Kinds include the following categories: intervention or therapy,etiology, diagnosis or diagnostic test, prognosis or prediction, meaning (Seethe Stillwell, Fineout-Overholt, Melnyk, & Williamson , 2010 article. View the Templates and Definitions for PICOT Questions Table, p. 60). Here is an example:Intervention or therapy is indicated that recognizes the background question o f what is the best method for accurate GI assessment and diagnosis in nonspecific GI distress.
  • Step 3-Finally, specify the PICOT Question in the correct format using the template in the 3^rd column of the Templates and Definitions for PICOT Questions table. (See the Stillwell, Fineout-Overholt, Melnyk, & Williamson , 2010 article. See the Templates and Definitions for PICOT Questions Table, p. 60). Think of the PICOT as the foreground question. Not all PICOT questions include time and time is included to show the end of the project measurement. Here is an example:In adults with nonspecific GI distress (P), how does a GI pain assessment team (I) compared with usual assessment (C) affect ER recidivism (O)during a 3-month period (T).
  • Follow the directions in the discussion area. All students are required to complete an initial post and respond to one other student’s posting. The focus of the PICOT discussion is to assess the content of the PICOT question (meets template format) and whether it fits the nursing situation. In addition, other helpful comments include providing key words, a reference, or information about guidelines/and standards of practice.
