Mobile ATM

My customers wait in line at the ATM and get very frustrated with everyone in front of them. The longer someone is line the more likely they are to leave and go to another ATM in which I do not receive a fee.

I want a mobile APP that allows people to request the money they want ahead of time or when they are in line. When they reach the front of the line, the machine will dispense the money. The machine needs some way to know it is the correct user whether that is software or a hardware issue. The machine should also give account balance info.

Since it is on a mobile phone I want it to be designed for a 3.5 inch screen minimum. Users should be able to easily navigate the Mobile Phone ATM screens on a small touch screen and be able to do any transaction in 3 screens or less.

Using what you learned for Requirements elicitation. Write the Use Cases for this Application. You may work in teams. I will be the customer so ask me any questions you have on what the system should do. As the customer I would also like paper prototypes of the screens so that I can see that the Requirements map to an implementation.

Turn in

  1. A list of everyone in your group
  2. Paper prototypes (scan or take a photo)
  3. All Use Cases Electronically (should encompass all functionality shown in paper prototype)

PCN-521 Topic 7: Vargas Case Study

Since the last session, you received a call from Elizabeth who stated her family was in crisis. She reported that her nephew Geoff, the 15-year-old stepson of Bob’s sister, Katie, had nearly overdosed. She said that the family had noticed some changes with Geoff since his father’s recent death, but attributed the poor mood and slipping grades to the normal effects of grief. Elizabeth said that Geoff had never used drugs, as far as anybody in the family knew, and that the overdose was “a total surprise.” Elizabeth reported that after learning of this, Bob’s mother, Linda, called the school counselor but complained to Katie that “she was not at all helpful,” and told Katie exactly how she should handle it. Katie spoke with the school counselor who told her that she was not allowed to speak with Linda due to matters of confidentiality. Elizabeth informed you that Katie had shared her frustration with the school counselor’s suggestions to help him “get his mind off the sadness,” and believed he needed more help. You learned that Bob’s father, Tim, was trying his best to help, and that Elizabeth felt his intrusion was making matters worse. Among other things, Tim had taken Geoff out of school on a week-long camping trip against Katie’s wishes. Elizabeth said that the involvement of Linda and Tim, despite their good intentions, had begun to cause widespread family strife and asked if you could possibly see the entire family. You agreed to provide a session with Elizabeth, Bob, Tim, Linda, Katie, and Geoff.

    Problem 1: The Effects of Different Cost Flow Assumptions for Inventory

    At the end of January 2011, the records of Sheldon and Blair showed the following for a particular item that sold at $20 per unit:

    Problem 1, Table 1: Records of Sheldon and Blair
    Transactions Units Total Amount
    Inventory, January 1, 2011 500 @ $6.00 $3,000

      • d. Specific identification. (Assume that the first sale was selected from the beginning inventory and the second sale was selected from the January 12 purchase.)
    2. Of FIFO and LIFO, which method would result in the higher pretax income? Which would result in the higher EPS?

All information needed to answer discussion questions comes from your Chapter 16 text book readings and Chapter 16 & 18 power points ( attached below) . Do not consult outsideresources other than your text book or supplied videos to answer these questions.Answers must be atleast 200 words long and should come from the information presented in the text book readings and then your interpretation/integration of that information to receive credit. If, after you have posted your initial response, you would like to look up additional information from another source and use that information in a response to another student’s post, that is allowed. The key is to make sure you are not consulting outside sources to shape your answers.

Option A:

After reading about organizational culture in Chapter 16, watch the following videos about two very different organizations.

After watching these videos, answer the following questions based on what you saw in the videos (not previous personal knowledge):

  • From your perspective, how would you describe the organizational culture at Google? (think about things like what the employees said, the colors you saw, office layout, the way employees were dressed, what seemed important to the organization and to employees, etc.)
    • In your opinion, does the culture at Google make sense for Google? Why or why not?
