Your company is a 4-year-old startup called XYZ Software Enterprises. XYZ produces a point of sale system and was awarded a Proof of Concept (POC) to one of the largest and oldest restaurants in the industry (you know, the ones in the commercials all the time). The restaurant wants XYZ to prove that the software will do what the sales people said it could do. Your Proof of Concept will include four parts: A Gantt Chart (see page 353, Figure 11-18 in your textbook) needs to be created for the entire process of the Proof of Concept. There is a two-month deadline from today to complete the POC. Using Visio or Excel, create a Gantt Chart that includes all of the items listed below and adds five more tasks minimum from the concepts learned from the course: The five or more additional tasks can be sub-tasks for information gathering methods as well some other sub-task or major task not in the initial list. You may add items from the SDLC, specific item or items on testing, or any other concept you think should be part of the POC process learned in the course of this semester. Remember that events in a Gantt chart can happen at the same time as other events. Some items also cannot start until others are completed. Everything has an estimated time frame and it is displayed in the chart. As part of the expected documentation in the POC, XYZ wants a report on Testing and User Acceptance. Your manager is asking you to research the testing criteria they listed in the POC documents. The POC document states that they are looking for the following: For both categories, research and report on the following: These items can be added to your Gantt Chart (Part 1). The restaurant, as part of the information gathering, outlined a use case in a chart, which is below. Your manager assigned you to create the Use Case Diagram using Visio, MS Word, or any other software. (See the diagrams on Page 84 and 85 of the textbook.)

Your manager has asked that you use Visio, MS Word, or any other software with which you are familiar to create the Activity Diagram (see pages 138 Figure 5-5 and 139 Figure 5-6 in the textbook.)
