Your company is a 4-year-old startup called XYZ Software Enterprises. XYZ produces a point of sale system and was awarded a Proof of Concept (POC) to one of the largest and oldest restaurants in the industry (you know, the ones in the commercials all the time). The restaurant wants XYZ to prove that the software will do what the sales people said it could do.
Your Proof of Concept will include four parts:

Part 1: Gantt Chart
Part 2: Testing and User Acceptance Report
Part 3: Use Case Diagram
Part 4: Activity Diagram

Part 1: Gantt Chart
A Gantt Chart (see page 353 Figure 11-18) needs to be created for the entire process of the Proof of Concept. There is a two-month deadline from today to complete the POC.
Using Visio or Excel, create a Gantt Chart that includes all of the items listed below and adds five more tasks minimum from the concepts learned from the course:

The initial meeting – today.
Should appear as the first line.
Teams selected to participate in the project (1 week).
Information gathering (add the information gathering methods you will use and how long each will take).
System configurations based on information gathering methods (2 weeks).
Create Activity Chart based on information gathering (info to create chart supplied).
Create Use Case Diagram based on information gathering (info to create chart supplied).
Show the finished configurations to the team and get feedback (1 day).
Make changes based on feedback (3 days).
Install the system in the test store (2 days).
Train staff (1 day).
Run a live test of POC (2 weeks).

NOTE:

The five or more additional tasks can be subtasks for information gathering methods as well some other subtask or major task not in the initial list.
You may add items from the SDLC, specific item(s) on testing, or any other concept you think should be part of the POC process learned in the course of this semester.

NOTE: Remember that events in a Gantt chart can happen at the same time as other events. Some items also cannot start until others are completed. Everything has an estimated timeframe and it is displayed in the chart.
Part 2: Testing and User Acceptance Report
As part of the expected documentation in the POC, XYZ wants a report on Testing and User Acceptance.
Your manager is asking you to research the testing criteria they listed in the POC documents.
The POC document states that they are looking for:

System and Stress Testing
User Acceptance Testing (UAT)

For both categories, research and report on:

What these tests are.
Why the industry leader would want these particular tests.
The best ways, in detail, to accomplish the tests so that your company meets the criteria they are looking for.

These items can be added to your Gantt Chart (Part 1)

Part 3: Use Case Diagram
The restaurant, as part of the information gathering, outlined a use case in a chart (below).
Your manager assigned you to create the Use Case Diagram using Visio, MS Word, or any other software. (See the diagrams on Page 84 and 85 of the textbook.)

Paste the diagram into the created report.

Part 4: Activity Diagram
As a part of the information gathering process, a chart of items was provided by XYZ.
Your manager has asked that you use Visio, MS Word, or any other software with which you are familiar to create the Activity Diagram (see pages 138 Figure 5-5 and 139 Figure 5-6 in the textbook.)

Paste the diagram into the created report.

Additionally you must:

Use at least 3 quality resources. NOTE: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, your name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
Include charts or diagrams created in Visio, Word, or an open source alternative. The completed diagrams/charts must be imported into the Word document before the paper is submitted.

Week 10 Technical Paper: Proof of Concept (POC) is due this week it is worth 230 Points or 23% of your overall grade in the class. SO READ THIS TO GET A PERFECT GRADE ON THIS ASSIGNMENT.
The grading criteria are as follows as per the rubric.
I do not want to read your paper multiple times to pull out the gradable material.
This Paper has 4 major parts (5 sections as the testing research is 2 separate sections in the grading rubric).
1. GanttChart. (See an example on Page 353 of the book). You can create in Visio or Excel. There are many youtubevideos on creating one for each different program. Here is a good one from youtube on Excel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsxi4qaEnOg&t=1s You can use a different program if you want but give a screenshot of the final GanttChart. I give you most of the items to put in the Ganttchart. You just need to add 5 more tasks to the information I gave you in the assignment. The dates are very important here. You need to have current dates and future dates like the project are starting the day of the paper.
2. Testing and User acceptance report. It is straight research. These are 2 different types of testing (System andStress, and UAT) and on three different pieces of information for each( Why you would do the test, what the test is, and the best way to accomplish). This is numbers 2 and 3 in the grading rubric. Make these sections 2 and 3 of the paper.
3. Use Case Diagram. Create one from the chart of the information that is given in the assignment. You made a diagram earlier in the semester (assignment 2). Use that as a guide. (This is grading Rubric # 4). Make this section 4 of the paper
4. Activity Diagram. A chart is again supplied for the diagram to be created from. You made one earlier in the semester (Assignment 3) so use that as an example. (This is Grading rubric 5 in thepaper). Make this section 5 of the paper.
Grading is based on the following.
Just make the HEADERS of the paper sections numbered 1-5 (taken from the gradingrubric)and answer each question in order. Make a reference section at the end in APA format for the minimum 2 references.
