Case Study – Design Process

You have recently started
your own software design company. You discover that your local
Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is looking to build a system that
will allow receptionists to check in customers quickly. They would like
for the system to allow customers to self-check-in during busy times,
but have receptionists check customers in the rest of the time. Your
company puts a bid in for the project and wins. Read the article, “Factors Affecting Development Process in Small Software Companies.”Write a four- to five-page paper in which you:

1. Suggest the prototyping technique you would use for this system and support your rationale.
2. Create a management plan containing eight to ten stages for proper design of such a system.
3. Explain each stage of the management plan and justify your rationale.
4. Estimate the length of time it will take to complete each stage of the management plan.
5. Compare and contrast the self-check-in interface with the interface a receptionist would use.
6. Use
   Microsoft Visio or an open source alternative, Dia, to create a total
   of two graphical representations of your proposed interfaces, one for
   the self-check-in and one for the receptionist. Note: The graphically
   depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
7. Use
   at least three quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia
   and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources.
