Suppose you manage a department that is developing a database application. The IT professionals who are developing the system ask you to identify two employees to evaluate data models. What criteria would you use in selecting those employees?

What instructions would you give them? Suppose one of the employees says to you, “I go to those meetings, but I just don’t understand what they’re talking about.” How would you respond? Suppose that you go to one of those meetings and don’t understand what they’re talking about. What would you do? Describe a role for a prototype in this situation. How would you justify the request for a prototype?
