Question 1:  Using a suitable ERD tool develop ERD for a gym database. You may choose entity types e.g. gym members, employees, programs available, program opted, location, health emergency. You need to identify relevant attributes for each entity type. Identify composite attributes, multivalued attributes, and week entities. Apply appropriate constraints (e.g. primary key, foreign key, not null, unique). Identify relationships among various entities.  Some conditions are specified below: a. The employees can be staff or trainers. The employee type field is used to distinguish between the two which take the values “S” and “T” for staff and trainer respectively.  b. Each member can opt for one or more programs. c. The gym offers several programs. A program might not be chosen by any member of the gym. d. The gym’s management wishes to track the payment details of members (amount, mode of payment, and date of payment). Suggest how can they track. e. While exercising in the gym if any member gets injured then gym management should be able to arrange a medical emergency facility.  Question 2: Draw an “Extended Entity Relationship Diagram” for the following problem: A company posts job openings online. Job seekers must apply for these jobs online as well. The company will process the applications and call eligible job seekers for an interview. Upon successful completion of the interview, the job seeker may be hired, and the corresponding job opening will be deleted from the company’s Website. Job seekers have an ID, name, work history, and qualifications. A job posting can be either for a part-time or full-time position. Part-time positions have a total number of weekly hours and an hourly rate. Full-time positions have a monthly salary. Both types of job listings have details about the position and the company.  Note: In question 2, Identify appropriate entities, attributes, relationships and apply extended entity relationship concepts such as specialization (total /partial), generalization, supertype sub type whichever you feel useful/applicable as per the question.

Activity 12 in Separate document – 4 full pages(excluding references) ($20)——————————————————————————————————————————————-Case Study 11.1: It’s an Agile WorldThis case illustrates a common problem in software and IT development, where programmers and IT staff are anxious to lock in specifications as early as possible so they can “get to work” without having to worry about invasive or disruptive input from the end-users.  Unfortunately, what typically happens is that the finished product is not what the users needed or thought they needed and a long list of fixes and modifications are needed to make it work correctly.  This case is based on a true story in a hospital IT department that routinely struggled with these sorts of user conflicts until they sifted to an Agile methodology. QuestionsWhy does the classic waterfall project planning model fail in this situation?  What is it about the IT department’s processes that lead to their finished systems being rejected constantly? How would an Agile methodology correct some of these problems?  What new development cycle would you propose? Why are “user stories” and system “features” critical components of an effective IT software development process? Using the terms “Scrum,” “Sprint,” and “User stories,” create an alternative development cycle for a hypothetical software

Evaluation of a company’s external and internal environments is vital in order for managers to be able to formulate a strategy. But how do these two environments interact? Is one more important than the other? For your initial post, address the following: Explain the relationship between a company’s external environment and its internal environment Assess which one has a greater impact on company strategy Share an example from personal experience or news media that supports your argument. For example: Consider a hike in gas prices. In an industry dependent on gas, severe increases in price cause them to make changes internally, supporting the argument for the external environment.Respond to at least two of your peers by respectfully explaining why you agree or disagree with their assessment of which environment has a greater impact on company strategy and evaluate the strength of their supporting example’s ability to support their argument.
