Group Project – Data Modeling
For all references to the Business Scenario, please see the pdf document titled “Case Study – TechPointe.pdf”. Your Project Team is required to translate the below business need into two entity relationship diagrams (ERDs): one conceptual, and one logical including all attributes and domains including keys. Be aware that this assignment is NOT the entirety of the business described in the separate document, but rather a portion of it. Be sure to stick to this scenario and its specific needs, and do not allow “scope creep” to pull you into other areas of the company’s considerations. Each team will be required to submit a Power Point presentation document that includes the following slides:
1) Team name and members (you decide your team name) 2) Business Case for this assignment 3) Conceptual ERD 4) Logical ERD
This Power Point document is due no later than 11:59pm AZ time on Sunday, January 16th 2022 . Please have each group member submit identical documents to the web portal – this can be found in the Assignment section for our Relational Database Fundamentals module.
Business Need TechPointe Services, LLC employs consultants. Each employee can be skilled in different technologies, and multiple employees can be skilled in the same technology, each with their own level of expertise. The company bids for projects – these projects are obtained via different sources (referral, government contract, return customers, etc.). Each project could require a mix of technologies – for example, Project “A” might require 18 different technologies, while Project “B” might require just one. Employees are assigned to each project based on their technology. Each employee is paid based on the project, with their rate negotiated based on the difficulty of the project. TechPointe Services, LLC has enlisted you to create a working relational data model that will support the above scenario, and their expectation is that the created Logical ERD will account for all data requirements for recording, reporting, and analyzing th is information.
