DBM 502 WEEK 3 ASSIGNMENT 1

 Assignment 1

Learning Team: Database Design Standards

Review the Learning Team Project Instructions.

Create database design standards and validation approaches for the organization. This needs to include how the design would be checked from each perspective, with each role again contributing according to its interests (for example, the administration group according to their standards for performance, the users describing how they will validate that the database will be able to contain the information that they require, the development teams that they will be able to write the expected transactions relatively easily, which might depend on the degree of normalization, the application team that any data they need for managing the interface is covered, etc.).

Write a 1- to 2-page paper explaining how the standards and approaches defend the interests of each of the roles.

Learning Team Instructions: Database Management Preparation

Read the following information to prepare for the Learning Team assignment.

The following Learning Team project is due in Week Six with review points given throughout the course.

In this project, team members will work and act as a management group for a large organization that needs to staff and organize database development and management. Team members will select roles reflecting different perspectives of database management.

General classes of roles are database administration, database design, database development, application development, quality assurance and user/stakeholder. Each team member can cover one or more areas, but not all of them, and, if needed, you can have multiple database development, application development or user roles. At least one team member should be in each role.

The team will develop a paper to explain how it would staff and run the organization. This is not based on specific plans for database applications, but it is acceptable to use a project from the individual assignment for context if that helps. The paper will be delivered in Week Six, along with a presentation for executives so they can understand what has been agreed on. The paper will cover all of the areas described in Week Two through Week Five. It is expected that between the initial draft and the final paper, team members will critique one another's submissions based on the interests of the roles they are playing.
