Case Study

YJ is a new toy shop opens recently in Egaila. The YJ shop has four cash registers and three customer service employees. Since the shop is new, the owner of YJ has decided to get a new system that connects all transactions and items sold among the four cash registers so every item sold will be deducted from the total number of items available in the store. This enables the automatic generating of the next order. Also, the system should help in creating the weekly and monthly reports, and calculating the extra time and part-time for the seven employees in the shop. This system is used in other businesses like retailer shops, grocery shops, computer shops, and so on. So, the system does not have a new innovative idea and no secrets in the YJ shop. Moreover, the YJ shop does not employ any IT people yet. The shop should get this system as soon as possible to avoid loss and keep all the different items available.

Answer the following questions based on the above case study.

1- What type of sourcing (i.e., insourcing or outsourcing) would you recommend the YJ to adopt? Why would you recommend this type? (40 points)

2- What kind of system development methodology/ approach (e.g., Waterfall, Linear, and Agile) would you recommend the YJ to follow? Why would you recommend this approach? (30 points)

3- List the stages of this methodology/approach used in question 2. Briefly mention key features in each stage. (30 points)
