CIS320: System Analysis and DesignTeam Charter Assignment

Purpose: There are several factors that are important to your team¶s success on the project²one of those is teamdynamics. The purpose of this assignment is to encourage you to think carefully about the way your team willfunction.

Part 1²Individual Preparation

Scott

y I feel very comfortable with the skills I bring to the team. I am graduating this semester so I havecompleted very essential courses where I have developed many skills, as well as an understanding on howto utilize those skills whether it is in the classroom or at work. I currently work for Humana and I have beenthere for a little over a year. During my time with Humana I have worked with many departments and as aresult I have worked with many people. I feel like my work experience will help me be a great member of our team.

y One of the main strengths I bring to the group is my business and IT background. I am an Accountingmajor with a minor in CIS. My Accounting background will help see the overall outlook of the project not

 just the IT side; this is EXTREMELY important in the business world (I have experienced this first hand).One of the major weaknesses is that I like to do everything myself; at first this statement sounds negative

but its true meaning is that I am a very independent person (it has been my lifestyle since I have attendedcollege). I understand I am not the smartest guy in the world or the most skilled but I like to be involved inevery detail of the project. It is not that I do not trust the people I work with, it is I just like to see everythingthing through.

y The role I would like to play in our team is an intermediary between the business and IT sides. My role willhelp the team create and develop a project that is efficient and effective with an understanding of bothsides.

Davidy  I am a graduate of Louisville's duPont Manual High School (Visual Arts magnet program) and have

completed coursework in fine art from the Art Academy of Cincinnati. I am currently a senior at theUniversity of Louisville College of Business Computer Info. Systems program (web developmentconcentration), and am also completing coursework for admission to the Speed Scientific School'sComputer Science masters degree program, in which I hope to matriculate in 2013. I also am nursingassistant certified by the Louisville Red Cross, and have much of the science coursework completed for apossible minor in biology.

y My background is predominately in the arts²as a professional musician, session player and producer, Ihave worked with an extensive list of artists, and am a member of the American Federation of Musicians(Chicago Local 10208.) I still teach violin and am involved with numerous projects. I also have experiencein the arena of health care as a CNA at Our Lady of Peace psychiatric hospital, where I worked primarilywith learning disabled child and adolescent patients. I have completed premed coursework (at UofL) aswell.

y As a member of the team I bring a number of unique qualities to the table. Formally being employed by theCIS department gives me a better understanding of what Dr. Maurping is looking for and what he expectsfrom our assignments.

y And as an accounting major I have a more in depth knowledge of the business cycle and what occurs in itwhich is important when applying an IT solution to real world problems.

y I have had a lot of group work experience in college so It doesn¶t bother me to work in a group I can play aleading role and often enjoy doing so, however I can appreciate and understand the need to allow other people to lead when it is necessary.

Keith

y I attended DuPont Manual High School, where I studied in the magnet program MST (Math, Science, andTechnology). I have an Associate¶s degree in Computer and Electronics Engineering Technology, and Ihave an A+ certification. I am currently studying Computer Information Systems with a concentration inWeb Development and a minor in Psychology.

y In 2007 I began selling computers for Dell, and then in 2008 I began repairing computers. I began at aToshiba facility, repairing recently returned notebook computers and notebooks that belonged tocustomers. I moved to a local computer store, Computers Plus, where I continued repairing notebookcomputers and desktop computers. After Computers Plus, I began at Geek Squad City, a computer repair center located in Brooks Kentucky. There I focused on several notebook brands, such as Gateway, Dell,HP, and Apple. I remained at Geek Squad City for over two years.

y In May of 2011 I was hired with Humana as a co-op in IT, where I currently work. My work duties arevaried, but I mainly work as a business analyst in IT. I have designed and developed in Microsoft

Silverlight, and I have created several designs for two internal applications. I have experience with theSDLC, in both waterfall and agile (scrum) methodologies. I have participated in requirements gathering byspeaking to the business users, and design sessions with developers. I have experience leading a scrumteam that consisted of one employee on-shore, and four employees offshore (India).

John

y I am a Junior majoring in CIS. I have worked with computers extensively in my life. I went to DuPontManual high school and was in the Math Science Technology program. I focused on the technology aspectand took extra classes such as an A+ certification class. I have never had a corporate industry job, but Ihave worked for myself in various avenues, such as web development/hosting and computer repair.

y My strengths that I bring to my team are my technical knowledge and skills that I have attained over theyears. I feel that I should be able to help our team with any new concepts that we will encounter.

y I enjoy working in a team, and feel that I could play an active role as both a member and organizer of 

different projects. I am very good at brainstorming and think I could add fresh new ideas to our group.
