The company does not have a formal methodology or process to develop the BI solution from start to finish. Take the BI Project Manager role in Steel Wheels and create a real Project Plan Proposal for Steel Wheels’ BI solution. This project plan should include the following:

• A list of activities needed (from start to finish) to create and maintain the proposed BI solution.
• This list should include all activities in the BI Project Life-Cycle.
• These activities should be listed in the order in which these should be completed based on the BI Project Life-Cycle.
• Describe the purpose of each activity and add fictitious status of the activities and dates (In-Progress/Pending/Completed Status, Date Entered and Date Planned/Actual Completion). Use the BI Project Management Tool to create your BI Project Plan.

Computing Salary Increment

write a program to calculate the bonus based on three possible ratings; “Excellent”, “Good”, and “Poor”.

• Excellent – will receive a 50% raise,
• Good – will receive a 15% raise,
• moreover, poor will have a deduction of 10 % from their base salary.

The programme will print and calculate their bonus, and also print out their performance.

You have to assume taking various inputs and decide how you will calculate. Salary, rating etc. any other assumption you may see fit. Try to make it as realistic as possible.

The file below is all you need. For this second essay response, I ask you to choose one of the prompts below and answer it in at least one typed, double-spaced page. You will be assessed on how completely you respond to all parts of the prompt. I am not asking for evaluations: no “I like/dislike the story.” I want thoughtful, critical responses. I will also gauge how accurately you credit and refer to the authors and texts, and basic grammar, mechanical, and spelling accuracy. This means that you should save time to proofread for capitalization, spelling, and citations.

• You may use notes and an outline: however, remember that you have the remaining exam time to complete your essay. Do not submit a prepared essay. You must use the exam time to compose.
• · You may copy/paste your selected prompt into a Word document, and then write your response. When you are finished, submit your response to the appropriate folder on PAWS.
