In this task, you will complete and submit an individual proposal. In your proposal, you should include the first two elements of your final project: a case needs analysis and a relational database model. Use what you have discussed in your collaborative groups to finalize your proposal. This will be graded with the Milestone Three Rubric. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed in your submission: I. Case Needs Analysis: Determine the data requirements of Birchwood Lane Schools.
a. What data from the scenario is needed for the database and why?
b. To what extent is additional information needed to develop complete data requirements? II. Relational Database Model
a. Based on the requirements you have determined, propose a relational database model. Be sure to include applicable entities and proper relationship mapping.
b. Propose a logical database model based on the entities present in your visual conceptual database model.
The final project for this course is the creation of a database proposal and implementation plan report that will address the needs of a given scenario. The purpose of this assessment is to assess the students’ understanding of simple database structure, functions, and terminology from an information management perspective. You are to design a simple database framework that addresses the needs of Birchwood Lane Schools and the development of a strategy for implementing that database. Your submissions will include the relational database model you have designed, including diagrams (e. g., Microsoft Visio), a plan for implementation, and a persuasive presentation to stakeholders, in this case the Birchwood Lane School Board. The persuasive presentation will build off the work completed for this database proposal and implementation plan report and is due in Module Eight. For more details about the presentation, reference the "Final Presentation Guidelines and Rubric" document in the Assignment Guidelines and Rubrics section of the course. The project is supported by four formative milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Three, Four, and Five. The final submission of your database proposal and implementation plan report will occur in Module Seven.
