IT 235 Southern New Hampshire University Leadership Discussion
PART 1:In your team discussion topics, compose an initial post where you describe and evaluate a leadership style.Relate this leadership style back to the MBT scenario and reflect on the implications of leadership style as it impacts the scenario. Analyze both positive and negative traits and their relationship to team composition.In responding to your teammates, relate the identified leadership styles to personality types and examine the effectiveness to the identified leadership styles within the MBT scenario.Through your responses, identify and discuss traits of both effective and ineffective leaders as evidenced in the case scenario. This discussion will provide the basis for the leadership and personality training presentation slides included in your final project presentation.PART 2: For this activity, you will analyze a provided scenario that outlines the business requirements and needs for a new database. As part of the process, you will use a color-coding technique to identify the various entities and related attributes required to process the scenario.As a first step to completing this activity, watch this video: Entity Relationship Modeling (8:04).Next, follow these instructions:Review the scenario below to determine the correct color coding for the entities and attributes in the narrative.Copy and paste the scenario text into a Word document.As you find entities and their related attributes in the narrative, change the font color for any words that are related to that entity so that they are a matching color.For instance, in the narrative, if you have a customer entity with customer details such as name and address, all of the words related to that entity and its attributes could be colored blue. Another entity’s attributes could all be colored green.At the bottom of the narrative, create a list of each entity, its attributes, and the color used to distinguish this entity.Once you are satisfied with your color-coding choices, post your proposed color-coded narrative and related tables to the discussion topic as a Word document.In your initial post, describe how you identified the entities and attributes, and explain your point of view.Review the proposals of other classmates and discuss their selection of attributes and related color coding. Be sure to support one another by making suggestions for corrections or revisions based on what you have learned.ScenarioThe student activities department at SNHU would like to begin tracking students’ participation in various clubs on campus to identify the most heavily used clubs. Each student’s ID number uniquely identifies a student. For each student, the department would also like to know the student’s name, year in school, and which club they joined. Of course, there are many clubs on campus, but each club will have a club ID, an advisor, and the club name. Each advisor is identified by an advisor ID and the advisor’s first and last name. Since a student may be in many clubs, the student-to-club relationship is many-to-many. Use a bridge table to link the relationship between these two tables.Important: Even though only two responses are required, you are encouraged to provide more responses and to watch for peers who may have not received a response. PART 3:While working in IT at Regatta University, you are assigned a second project: updating the “look and feel” of the of the student services portal. This project runs concurrently with the student degree progress project. Further, because of the interwoven nature of the two codes, the graphical user interface (GUI) update must be deployed at the same time as the student degree progress project.As the GUI project progresses, you realize that its schedule is starting to slip and the GUI project is falling behind. This is causing a major risk to the scheduled delivery of the student degree progress project as well.In your discussion post, do the following:Using the triple constraints, discuss at least one factor (schedule, cost, scope) that could be changed as a solution for ensuring that both projects are delivered at the same time.Review the list of project risks in the Project Management Documents spreadsheet.Will the solution proposed in Step 1 increase the likelihood or potential severity of any of these risks?Identify and describe any new risks raised by the proposed solution.In your responses to classmates, be sure to note areas of similarities and differences in their analyses and your own. Consider the best course of action for keeping both projects on track. As you can see, managing projects can be complex and often requires careful analysis of problems and solutions.
