Review Question
2. Define business profiles, processes, and modeling.
Business profile- A business profile is an overview of a companys mission, functions, organization, products, services, customers, suppliers, competitors, constraints, and future direction. . Business process- A business process is a specific set of transactions, events, and results that can be described and documented. Business modeling- Business Process Modeling (BPM) in systems engineering is the activity of representing processes of an enterprise, so that the current process may be analyzed and improved.

Discussion Topics
4. Computers perform many jobs that previously were performed by people. Will computer-based transactions and expanded e-commerce eventually replace personto-person contact? From a customers point of view, is this better? Why or why not?
From a customers point of view, I do think computers will eventually replace person to person contact. Look at holidays, Christmas for instance more and more people shop online for there gifts. Either because its more convenient or theres better offers online.

Projects
3. Do a search on the Web to learn more about agile system development approaches and spiral models. Prepare a summary of the results and a list of the sites you visited.

Agile system breaks development process down into cycles, or iterations that add functionality. Each iteration is designed, built, and tested in an ongoing process. Attempts to reduce major risks by incremental steps in short time intervals. Typically uses a spiral model.
