Capstone Project: Database Administrator

HRPO 2301

Capstone Project

Narrator: You are the head director at Vigo county tax and municipal services office, where new computer systems have created uneven workloads and ambiguous job responsibilities, have become a source of much contention in the office. These are your employees and here are their problems. First up, Janie.

Janie: Myra and Johnny have way too much free time to socialize and run personal errands while I do most of their job.

Myra: Okay, so maybe we do go out quite a bit. But we also have to complete tasks that should really be left to a data admin.

Johnny: That and our paychecks don't really reflect the added responsibilities of the data admin. The duties we have acquired over the years go way beyond the job descriptions in our employment contract

Narrator: Alistair, your database admin, doesn't seem to be having any problems at all.

Alistair: I'm not having any problems at all.

Narrator: OOF! It would appear you haven't updated the job descriptions for these positions in a number of years. Responsibilities have multiplied but the new boundaries of each job have yet to be defined. Judging by the conversations you've been having lately, it's high time you did something about it.
