AGILE DELIVERY

Assignment: 

The purpose of this assignment is to create features, user stories, enabler stories, and a team backlog for an agile IT project.

Part 1

For this assignment, read the “Running Case” in Chapters 4 and 5 of the textbook. Complete the following tasks.

1.     Using the “BIT-415 Features and Benefits Matrix” template, create a list of 10 features based upon the requirements found in the “Running Case.” Discuss the associated benefit hypothesis and acceptance criteria for each of the features. An example is provided in the template.

2.     Using the “BIT-415 User Story and Acceptance Criteria” template, create a list of three user stories for each of the features developed in Step 1. Discuss the appropriate acceptance criteria for each of the user stories. An example is provided in the template.

3.     Using the “BIT-415 Enabler Stories” template, create a list of enabler stories based upon the features defined in Step 1. Discuss the appropriate acceptance criteria for each of the enabler stories. An example is provided in the template.

Part 2

Using the “BIT-415 Team Backlog” template, create a team backlog using the features, user stories, and enabler stories developed in Part 1. Complete the template by adding the estimated duration and priority for each user story. An example is provided in the template.

Instructions

Install Docker on a Linux VM. You don’t want to install it on your computer, because it will interfere with other functions on that computer. Open a Linux VM, set the network configuration to be NAT. Download and install Docker inside the Linux VM as an admin. The remaining exercises are to be performed inside the Linux VM. Open a terminal inside the Linux VM. The following exercises won’t run on Windows VM.

A few useful Docker sites: https://docker-curriculum.com/

(Q1): From the terminal, type in the following commands and take snapshots after running each command.

To validate the installation is correct, type

$ docker run hello-world 

(Q2): Run a Busybox container. The pull command fetches the busybox image from the Docker registry and saves it to the VM. 

$ docker pull busybox

(Q3): Find available docker images in your VM. 

$ docker images

Check that busybox container is  

(Q4): Run the Docker container busybox.  When you run the Docker image bosybox, Docker loads up the container and then runs a command in the container. When we run “docker run busybox”, there is no command, so Docker did nothing and exited.

$ docker run busybox 

$

If you provide a command after “docker run busybox”, that command will be executed

$ docker run busybox echo “hello world from Carlston”

Replace ‘Carlston’ with your name. That way I knew that you are running Docker by yourself. Take a snapshot.   

(Q5): Run the following command to check what containers are currently running. 

$ docker ps  

It should be no docker running. 

Run the following command to see a list of all containers that we ran. Notice the STATUS column shows that these containers exited a few minutes ago. Take a snapshot. 

$ docker ps –a  

Run the following local host command to see the difference with and without Docker. 

$ ps -a 

(Q6): Compare a Virtual Machine (VM), a Container, and a Sandbox based on the features shown in the following table.  

Features\Types 

VM 

Container 

Sandbox 

Same OS as host OS 

Share data with host 

Data remains when the VM / Container / Sandbox is closed 

Additional OS overhead 

Performance 

Storage space 

Communication among the applications and host 

Security level 

Examples of applications 

Advantages 

Disadvantages 

Please read chapter 5 textbook and reputable online library resources and Review PP slides chapter 5, pages 33 to 35 and in your own word discuss what is your understanding of Client-server architecture?

An EARCON is the sound your phone makes (PCs and do this too) when a particular event happens. There’s the “Swooshing” sound when you get an email for instance.

Question 1 Have you set-up any unique EARCONS on your phone?

Question 2 Do you think mobile phone should have a different sound to the caller if your phone is busy? 

Question 3 Would you like to set-up your phone so that if persons A, B, or C (your favorite people) call you and you’re on your phone would you like them to hear something other than “beep … beep …. beep” (means your phone is busy)? 

Question 4 Would you like your favorites to hear some other message on their phone when you’re busy – like maybe a warble tone or a siren sound or something else which means “You’re my favorite person, call me back right away”?

Question 5 What role do you think EARCONs play in applications? 

Question 6 Would you like the EARCON to tell you more information than things like “Yes you got your ordering basket loaded correctly” such as maybe “What a great section of — product  ” etc.

Question 7 What innovations would you like to see in EARCONS?
