1. Consider the application that is used at the DMV to renew a license and register a vehicle online (go to the DMV website for help). Complete a use-case point worksheet to estimate the efforts to build such an application. You will need to make some assumptions about the applications interfaces and the various factors that affect its complexity.?
2. Look again at your freeway cheaters project. Create a risk assessment that lists the potential risk associated with performing the project, along with ways to address the risks.?
3. Pretend that your instructor has asked you and two friends to create a webpage to describe user experiences, pro and con, with electric cars (Nissan, Mitsubishi, Ford, Tesla, WM Motor (China)) to current students. You have been assigned the role as leader,so you will need to coordinate your activities and those of your classmates until the project is completed. Describe how you would apply to the project management techniques that you have learned in this chapter in the situation.

4. The Wine Republic Company is an importer/exporter that buys and sells specialty beers and other alcoholic beverages from China for export to San Francisco, and in turn imports specialty wines 6 from the US to its headquarters in Beijing.The WRC has approximately 420 employees, 5 locations, and an IS staff of 24 people who have created a inventory aging and tracking system, with RFID, and a centralized accounting system at the company’s US headquarters in San Francisco. Mary Ling, the head of WRC’s IS group, has just received the promotion from Albert Chang, the company founder. Mary received the following email from Linda the next day.“Mary, it's time WRC launched itself on the Internet so we can sell directly to consumers, rather than just to distributors. Many of our competitors are already there selling to customers without the expense of a retail storefront, and we could be there too. I project that we could double or triple our annual revenues by selling our products on the Internet. I would like to have this ready by April,when our sales always go up!”After doing her best to investigate the competitors for a couple of days, Mary scheduled a meeting with Linda so that he could clarify Linda’s expectations for this venture. Using the standard content of a system request(see text)as your guide, prepare a list of at least 10 questions that Mary needs to have answered about this project?
