Gary Tallent, would like to know stock levels of each item and how long each shipment of products takes to sell. He would also like to make bigger orders less often to take advantage of smaller shipping costs per piece of silk product and bulk ordering discounts offered by
their suppliers.

Business Processes:
A JAD session with key stakeholders revealed the following information. The business processes described below are the system requirements for this information system solution:

• The customer relationship management application and sales application has already been completed therefore do not model any of these systems.
• Before Comfort Quilts Limited can buy from suppliers they must fill in an application. Applications are reviewed by the suppliers and not all applications are approved.
• Gary Tallent, the purchasing manager wants to be able to run reports on individual purchases, individual shipments and  purchasing/ shipping reports at the end of the month.
• Alison Williams also wants to run a purchasing report showing details of each purchases, shipping method and the expected date of arrival of shipments on the first of every month.
• Any payments

Part A

Question 1: Report 

Your manager has done some reading and is sure that an adaptive systems development approach is necessary for the new information systems project to develop a project management system for Comfort Quilts Limited.

Your manager has asked you to write short report on one adaptive systems development methodology suitable for this project, choosing from methodologies such as Scrum, XP and UP. State what makes this methodology in particular align with this project. It is expected
that you use the detail from the case study in your essay.

Your target audience is executive business people, who have extensive business experience but limited computing knowledge.

Your essay should be no less than one thousand (1000) words and it would be best to be no longer than one thousand five hundred (1500) words long.

Appropriate referencing is required. The textbook Satzinger et. al is a valid resource, however it is expected that at least five (5) other resources will also be used.

Part B

Modelling and Diagramming

Review the Comfort Quilts Limited case study and answer the following questions with reference to the information in the case study.

Do NOT extend the scope for any of the following solutions beyond that specifically described in the case study above.

You are permitted to make reasonable assumptions where necessary but these should be noted.

It is recommended that you review all documentation for this case study before finalising any single solution. Ensure that the required consistency has been included within and between each question solution.

Question 2: Event Table 

Review the Comfort Quilts Limited case study and prepare an event table for the information system to support the business processes as described. Use at least the following headings for the Event Table:

• All attributes as specifically mentioned in the case study must be reflected
• Other attributes as needed to support the described functionality.

It is not necessary to show methods, however you may include them if you wish. Solutions are expected to align with the components as shown in figure 4-21.

Question 5: Use Case Diagram 

Review the Comfort Quilts Limited case study and your event table solution from question 1 to prepare a Use Case diagram for the supporting information system.

Solutions must follow the methodology as outlined within the Satzinger et al textbook. Solutions are expected to align with the components as shown in figures 3-12 and 3-15.

Question 6: Use Case Description (intermediate)

Prepare a Use Case intermediate description for the 'Create Supplier' use case, as documented in the event table solution and the use case diagram solution.

Solutions must follow the methodology as outlined within the Satzinger et al textbook. Solutions are expected to align with the components as shown in figure 5-2.
