Q1: Explain how developing matrices for different business functions and creating relationships between them, helps with planning process. You may identify 2 different matrices (Location-to-Function; Location-to-Unit; Unit-to-FunctionInformation System-to-Objective) and discuss how they can be used in the planning of new information systems. Try to provide examples on how a company can effectively use such tools to plan new systems, which will best fit its strategic needs.

Q2: Develop a Context Diagram and Level 0 for the Christmas Party System.

Note: This is an information system! Maybe a website or a simple mobile app which allows family members to interact/provide data/track/select etc.

The case: A family which has many children (now adults, who have children of their own) want to make it simple and affordable by buying toys for each child in this party. They want to make it a fun experience, affordable, simple, and memorable. Add assumptions/clarifications that you like but make sure to address the main requirements listed below:

You are to design a system that helps a large family with their Christmas gift exchange. Each year, Adult Siblings participate in the Family Christmas Gift Party for the children younger than 14 years old. A child must first select toys he/she wish to receive at the family party and put them in a list called Santas List. This list is a shared list where all Siblings can see what their nieces and nephews are wishing for. Each child must receive a toy from this Christmas party.

Each Adult Sibling must buy as many toys as the number of their children. Adults need to check the Santas List in advance and notify the other Siblings if that bought certain toys (which fit their budget). If an Adult Sibling cant attend the Family Christmas Gift Party they must ship their present(s) in advance to the address where party will take place.

Q3: Draw a Use Case diagram for the situation described in the Problem described above (Santas wish list)

Q4: GreenLawn a local lawn care company has different pricing policies for its customers. GreenLawn sends out monthly invoices and will give discounts if payments are made within 5 days. The discounting policy is as follow: If the amount of the monthly bill is greater than $300, subtract 4 percent from the invoice; if the amount is between $300 and $100, subtract a 2-percent discount; if the amount is less than $100, do not apply any discount. All bills made via the web automatically receive an extra 3-percent discount. Develop a decision for GreenLawn discounting decisions.

Decision Table submission: Include the initial table with all rules, and the most simplified table. Use different colors in the columns to easily show how columns are collapsed/simplified.
