Unit 7 Assignment Directions: Case Scenario: Configuration Management Plan (CMP) Document Creation

Step 1: Scenario:

Right after you receive your cybersecurity degree, you receive an offer letter from the payroll department of a U.S. federal agency to work as a cybersecurity consultant. Upon briefing, you are told they do not have a well-established configuration management plan (CMP) document. The absence of a complete CMP will impede the agencys ability to coordinate, track, and manage change to the baseline of an applications configurable items (CIs).

Below are the major issues you need to consider while creating a robust CMP (considering the one-week timeframe for this unit). From the list below, you will need to pick at least four areas and compile a 5- to 7-page CMP document that addresses a plan for them. Remember to refer to Unit 1 learning resources as necessary and feel free to explore outside resources as needed.

1. No service level agreement (SLA) during deployment, integration, change requests
2. Absence of a change control board (CCB)
3. No ticketing management system to track internal change requests (CRs)
4. No central repository to control version revision for all IT assets (HW/SW/firmware)
5. No default baseline configuration for HW/SW
6. No auditing and accounting for any change requests
7. No system development life cycle (SDLC) process
8. Absence of development environment to test new HW/SW before getting deployed into the production environment
9. Absence of roles and responsibilities to manage the change request workflow/process
10. No formal change request form
11. No IT service management (ITSM) ticketing system
12. No priority for change request tickets (minor, standard, major, emergency)

You can incorporate other areas of CMP that were not listed above, based on your experiences as a cybersecurity professional.

Template:…

Please see this to help guide you as you write about at least four areas for your CMP.

Step 2:

• Develop your configuration management plan (CMP) to address the specified limitations within the organization.
  • You can incorporate other areas of CMP that were not listed above.
• The plan should be between 57 pages, not including the references or title page.
  • A project that is longer than 7 pages, not including the references or title page, will NOT BE ACCEPTED.
• Please format your paper to be in 12-point Times New Roman font with 1 margins.
  • Please be sure to check your grammar and spelling too. UMGC has a lot of writing resources to support you; see them below.

Data Entry Procedure Exercise for Health Clinics. Patient Records Management.

Scenario:

Harbor Health Clinics is looking to digitize its patient records management system. With clinics located throughout various neighborhoods and providing healthcare for thousands of patients, accurate yet efficient data entry processes must be implemented quickly to avoid misentries that compromise patient care, violate regulations, or incur costly correction costs.

Chapter 15 of your textbook provided an in-depth exploration of key principles to creating efficient data entry procedures, including:

Field Validations: Verify that the data entered aligns with expected formats and value ranges. User Feedback: Prompt and clear indicators should be given to inform users about successful entries or errors as soon as they occur. Sequential Flow: Logical sequence of data entry fields to mimic natural workflows.

Auto-fill & Predictive Text: Leveraging technology to reduce manual input.

User Training & Guidelines: Offering clear instructions and training to users to reduce errors.

Assignment: Utilizing the teachings of Chapter 15, your task is to create a data entry procedure for Harbor Health Clinics’ new patient records management system. Your design should prioritize accuracy to protect patient safety while still speeding up processing without jeopardizing data integrity.

Instructions:

Detail the sequence and structure of data entry fields (e.g., Patient Name, Date of Birth, Medical History, Current Medications, and Allergies). And design field validations at each data entry point to ensure consistency and accuracy.

Implement user feedback mechanisms into your procedure to provide users with instantaneous notifications of successful entries or mistakes, as well as data entry systems like auto-fill or predictive text to ease the data entry process.

Draft a short set of user guidelines or instructions to accompany the data entry process.

Submit both the data entry procedure design and user guidelines for assessment. Make sure they reflect the needs of the scenario while showing an in-depth knowledge of concepts introduced in Chapter 15 (LO1, LO2, LO3, LO4, and LO5).

Essential Activities:

1. Reading Chapters 14, 15, & 16 will assist you with the exercise.
2. Watching the “Quality Assurance and HCI” videos will assist you with the exercise.

Notes:

1. This paper must be formatted in APA Style 7th edition.
2. This paper should contain a properly formatted title page, introduction, content body, conclusion, and references.
3. Please refer to the written assignment rubric on the start here tab for this paper.

Design Exercise for designing the user interface for an electronic library system

Scenario:

The Metropolitan City Library has decided to move into the digital era and offer its members an extensive collection of e-books, journals, and audiobooks via an E-Library platform accessible both via web and mobile interfaces. As many older members are still transitioning into this new age of technology, its design must be user-friendly while supporting positive human-computer interactions.

Chapter 14 of your textbook covered key principles of human-computer interaction, such as:

Cognitive Load: Design should reduce the mental effort required of users. Feedback: Users should receive clear signals or responses after performing actions. Consistency: Common actions and symbols should remain consistent across interfaces.

Error Prevention and Recovery: To minimize user errors while allowing for effortless correction.

Assignment: Utilizing the principles outlined in Chapter 14, your task is to develop an intuitive user interface for an E-Library system. Your design should consider both experienced library patrons as well as those new to digital libraries.

Instructions: Start by sketching or digitally designing the main interface page, including sections such as ‘Latest Arrivals”, “Search Bar”, My Collection”, and Help Center”. Your design must take into account devices like desktop computers, tablets, and mobile phones.

Implement design elements that reflect the principles of human-computer interaction outlined in Chapter 14. Create a short document explaining your design choices, emphasizing how they correspond with these principles.

Submit your user interface design alongside an explanatory document for evaluation, making sure it satisfies the requirements of the scenario and displays your understanding of human-computer interaction principles (LO1, LO2, LO3 & LO4).

Essential Activities:

1. Reading Chapters 14, 15, & 16 will assist you with the exercise.
2. Watching the “Quality Assurance and HCI” videos will assist you with the exercise.

Notes:

1. This assignment must be formatted in APA Style 7th edition.
2. This paper should have a properly formatted title page, introduction, content body, conclusion, and references.
