1. Assignment 2: The Presentation Due Week 10 and worth 200
points
Congratulations. Your project has been staffed and you are
about to meet with the team for the first time. Initial
impressions are important and you’ll need visuals for your
presentation.
Create a slide show (in PowerPoint or similar software) in
which you address the following, in this order:
1.Goals: What the project hopes to accomplish.
2.Critical Success Factors: Identify at least 4 different
stakeholders; for each, list at least 2 things that the stakeholder
requires in order to deem the project successful.
3.Acquisition strategy: Should the system be built in-house,
created by a contractor, purchased off-the-shelf and customized,
or leased as a service? Explain your rationale.
4.Resources: For in-house development, what people/skills are
required and what development lifecycle do you recommend?
Otherwise, identify 3 candidate organizations that can deliver
the system.
5.System functions: In a table format, summarize the types of
users for the system; the business reason(s) each would use the
system; the ways that the system supports each of these needs;
and how this support differs from the current system.
6.Connectivity: Provide a diagram that shows how the system
will connect to the other information systems and what data

vulnerabilities of the new system. Suggest strategies to address
them.
8.Mobility: Identify the system’s capabilities for mobile use.
Include a title and summary slide. Use one slide for each of the
8 points above. Include speaker notes or audio narration that
explains each slide more fully. Grading for this assignment will
be based on answer quality, logic / organization of the paper,
and language and writing skills.
Exercise 2: Diet Analysis
This lab activity will require you to log your food intake and
compare it to your dietary needs. Attention will be paid to
energy balance, deficiencies and excesses, and analysis of
particular foods and beverages that are consumed. If you prefer
not to report on yourself, you can select a friend or relative to
use as a study subject.
Procedure
Compiling a dietary log
You will be documenting lists of food and beverages consumed
during three typical days. They do not need to be consecutive.
It’s best to avoid days during which you did not feel well, slept
too much or too little, or went to a party or other event during
which your consumption was atypical.
List everything other than water and other non-caloric
beverages. Be very careful to document portion sizes

3. accurately. Serving sizes listed for your review are tiny by
many people’s judgement; you will have to multiply values for
much of what you have on your lists.
Estimating your energy needs
Your Estimated Energy Requirement (EER) is the number of
Calories per day that you need to support your basic body
metabolism. It is influenced by your height, weight, age,
gender, and general level of physical activity.
When we consciously exercise, for example, go to the gym,
swim in the ocean, or play tennis, those activities increase the
number of Calories that you expend. These activities are not
included in your EER.
Website support
You can search for the nutritional content of various foods
using the food search link on the My Fitness Pal website.
When you register on the website and enter basic information
about yourself, you will be informed of an estimate of what
your daily caloric need is. This is equivalent to your EER.
https://www.myfitnesspal.com/
Other required information
You will select three specific nutrients; these can be fiber,
cholesterol, vitamins or minerals to track, in addition to
Calories.

4. Do not select macronutrients, such as carbohydrates, sugars,
fats, or protein. Use your textbook to find RDA values for the
nutrients that you select.
For example, you can track fiber, vitamin C, and iron.
What to include in your report
Basic Personal Information
This includes height, weight, age, gender, and overall level of
normal daily activity. These are the values that will be entered
when you register on:
https://www.myfitnesspal.com/
Prominently display the number of daily Calories that are
estimated for the subject’s EER. Provide the RDA amounts for
the three selected nutrients for comparison.
Three full days of all food and beverages consumed
List everything consumed, with the exception of water and other
non-caloric beverages. Serving sizes must be included.
Indicate if you do drink non-caloric beverages throughout the
day, so I know that you didn’t merely forget to list drinks.
For each item on the list, include calories and three specific
nutrients that you have selected to track.
Separate the things you ate and drank by day and display neatly
in three tables. Include daily totals for Calories and the three
selected nutrients for each day
Average the values for Calories and selected nutrients for the
three days.DO NOT ADD EXTRANEOUS INFORMATION.
You need to customize your own tables and not use the ones

5. from the website.
Conclusions
How does your average number of Calories consumed per day
compare to the EER?
How do each of the selected nutrients consumed compare to
RDAs?
What is the predicted health impact, over time, of any
discrepancies that you note?
Use your textbook to check on specific deficiency and excess
symptoms associated with your nutrients.
Scan the list of foods and beverages for nutrient analysis.
What items on your list surprised you?

To: Project Manager
From: Johnell Davis
Date: 03/01/20
Subject: Status Report
Introduction
The project manager selected a team that carried out activities
aimed at providing details of the organizational environment,
and the information system needs. This process is considered
essential as it ensures the team acts on insightful data when
designing a plan that will provide the desired business value
(Janssen, Wimmer & Deljoo, 2015). Also, the process examines
the resources available, and how they may be exploited in
support of the new information system.
Task One
i. The team carried out a needs assessment to identify what kind
of an information system the organization needs.
ii. Typically, the team examined the data sources within the
organization, and the processes that generate those sets of data.
iii. It also identified the number of processes that will be
impacted by an information system that is scaled optimally to

6. meet the organizational needs.
iv. Further, the tasks identified the extent of change that is
required to put the organizations on the global map when it
comes to the use of modern and intelligent information systems.
v. Finally, the team assessed the human resources’ skills level
in relation to the secure use of an information system.
Task Two
i. The task encompassed a preliminary examination of system
vendors that provide secure, efficient, and scalable information
systems.
ii. The team undertook preliminary research and examined the
various systems while considering performance reviews by the
customers.
iii. It creates a chart that compared the systems.
iv. It made the recommendations based on the needed and
demands of the organization.
What the Team Expected to Accomplish
i. The selected team aimed at carrying out a needs assessment
and provides a preliminary report.
ii. It also aimed at examining the available systems that meet
the needs of the organization.
iii. It aimed at providing a recommendation on the system that
is deemed most suitable to the organization.
iv. The project manager shared roles and responsibilities, and
guided the teams during performance. Prior to any task, the
manager convened meetings, and informed the teams about the
expectations.
Projects Accomplished this Week
Task one
i. A needs assessment was completed, and a preliminary report
compiled.
ii. It identified that the organization’s systems and business
process need an information system that can centralize
information, and data for easy access and use.
iii. Also, the report pointed out the organization needs a policy
for information collection, access, and use. Such a policy

7. enables easy collection, and use of information (Toohey, 2014).
iv. It also revealed that the human resources need training on
how to securely use the information system to lower the levels
of vulnerability to cyber-attacks, which have become too
common nowadays.
Task Two
i. The selected team created a chart of system vendors that need
to be considered.
ii. It narrowed down to the vendor who provides not only cost-
effective system and services, but the one who offers scalable
and cloud-enabled.
iii. It recommended CoreOS as a leading provider of IT
infrastructure that meets the interests of the business
organization.
iv. The vendor provides cost-effective services and also installs
the system.
What the team Accomplished
i. The selected team was able to carry out a needs assessment,
which informed the kind of information system that is needed
by the organization.
ii. It was informed by the system and the business needs of the
organization.
iii. Also, the team was able to identify a suitable vendor that
will provide the organization with the needed IT infrastructure.
iv. The team felt it was able to accomplish the tasks it had
targeted. It made the team become motivated.
Project Issues
Issue One
i. The team needed much supervision for it to realize the desired
tasks. The members did not have a sense of self-drive.
Issue Two
ii. Due to the fact that some members had other tasks to
accomplish, the time available was limited.
Addressing the Above Issues
i. The team needs more time for the members to develop
interpersonal relations. It will promote their motivation, and

8. lead to the development of a sense of self-drive.
ii. On the other hand, the organization should ensure the
members are relieved of some of their duties for them to find
enough time for the activities that need to be met.
Next Week’s Tasks
Task One
i. Access the compatibility of the recommended system to the
organization’s current system. The task is important as it will
point out the challenges that may be experienced during the
implementation of the program.
Task Two
i. An additional task entails the preparation of a budget based
on the organization’s current disposal of resources. The budget
will focus on the most important resources that will promote the
efficiency of the system.
ii. To realize the above tasks, the project manager will assign
roles and responsibilities to the members of the teams. Also, the
manager will guide them through the tasks to ensure they are
able to deliver the desired results in a timely manner.
