Discuss the principle lifecycle phases of an information system, from requirements and acquisition through to operation and maintenance

1. A station running TCP/IP needs to transfer a file to a host. The file contains 1024 bytes. How many bytes, including all of the TCP/IP overhead, would be sent, assuming a payload size of 128 bytes and both systems are running IPv4? (Also assume that the three-way handshake and window size negotiation have been completed and that no errors occur during transmission.)i) what is the protocol overhead (stated as a percentage)? [3 marks]ii) perform the same calculation, this time assuming that both clients are using IPv6. [2 marks]2. IP is a connection-less protocol, whereas TCP is connection-oriented. How can these two protocols coexist in the same protocol stack? [4 marks]3. Mention one advantage and one disadvantage of Agile method. [4 marks]4. Compare and contrast the Agile method and Evolutionary software development process. Explain with an example. [4 marks]5. Analyse the uniqueness of Apple design process. [4 marks]6. Describe three reasons for a project failure. [5 marks]7. Your company owns several software and asked you to manage them within company budget constraints. What will be your goals? [4 marks]RationaleThis assessment task will assess the following learning outcome/s:• be able to discuss the features of various software development methodologies.• be able to discuss and analyse fundamental networking concepts, protocols and standards.• be able to discuss the principle lifecycle phases of an information system, from requirements and acquisition through to operation and maintenance.• be able to compare and contrast the role of IT service management frameworks, policies and compliance issues.

Compare and contrast the Agile method and Evolutionary software development process.

Evaluate and Integrate several information sources in analysing Enterprise Systems

You have recently been employed as a Business Analyst and your boss has decided to send you on ashort Enterprise Systems course. You have now returned from your course ad would like to demonstrateyour learning. Create an e-portfolio to provide a synopsis and reflection on your learning duringthe course. You have been requested to document your learning in a portfolio that can be displayed onyour company’s intranet or knowledge portal. This way, the entire organization can access the documentand share in your newly acquired knowledge.This assessment task will address the following ILOs:• Evaluate and Integrate several information sources in analysing Enterprise Systems• Describe the role of enterprise systems as part of the larger IT infrastructure of large scale organisations.• Identify relevant considerations in the implementation of Enterprise Systems.• Demonstrate communication skills to present a coordinated, coherent and independent exposition of knowledgeand ideas in dealing with Enterprise Systems.Time allocation: Approximately 30-40 hoursWeighting: 30%Submission: Using your student e-Portfolio account, create a link from Moodle to your Mahara page asindicated on the submission link. You are required to prepare your responses to the assessment tasks as apage in your Mahara e-Portfolio. (To be submitted in Week 11)Referencing: Your portfolio should be a synthesis of ideas from a variety of sources expressed in yourown words. A minimum of 10 references is recommended. You should use the APA referencing style.The University has published a style guide to help students correctly reference and cite information theyuse in assignments (American Psychological Association (APA) citation style:https://federation.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0020/313328/FEDUNI-GENERAL-GUIDE-TOREFERENCING-2016-EDITION_ed.pdfEnterprise SystemsePortfolioEnterprise Systems Assessment TaskThe ContextIntended Learning Outcomes (ILOs)Assessment GuidelinesMarking Criteria: A passing grade will be awarded to assignments adequately addressing allassessment criteria. Higher grades require better quality and more effort. For example, a minimum is seton the wider reading required. A student reading vastly more than this minimum will be better preparedto discuss the issues in depth and consequently their report is likely to be of a higher quality. So beforesubmitting, please read through the assessment criteria very carefully. Marking guides are provided.Feedback: Feedback will be provided by the lecturer/tutor via Mahara, and mark via Moodle, no laterthan 2 weeks from the submission date.An ePortfolio is a collection of digital files, images, videos that showcase competencies, skills,application of knowledge and learning journey. The use of ePortfolios in various industries, disciplinesand processes is increasing world-wide, and is in some case the ‘norm’ for job applications or fordisplaying educational learnings.
