2. يقول الله تعالى لنبيه صلى الله عليه وسلم و لاتباعه من بعده : ( وَاصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُم بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُ وَلَا تَعْدُ عَيْنَاكَ عَنْهُمْ تُرِيدُ زِينَةَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَلَا تُطِعْ مَنْ أَغْفَلْنَا قَلْبَهُ عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَاتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ وَكَانَ أَمْرُهُ فُرُطاً ) الكهف 28 إنها آية لخص الله تعالى فيها منهج كل مسلم في اختيار جُلَسَاءَه و أصدقاءَه

3. Outlines  The Current System  diagrams for the current system  Analysis of the Current System  Discuss the students ’ system requests

4. The Current System  The project team reviewed the current information systems at VCR.  The VCR maintained and processed four general types of information: 1.payroll, 2.expenses, 3.donors, and 4.volunteer information.

5. The Current System  Terminology was initially unfamiliar  Station is a place where volunteers work by devoting their time and effort.  A job refers to a specific activity that a volunteer performs at a specific station.  Placement is the process of matching volunteers, depending on their skills and interests, with specific jobs at stations..

6. Two current system  Currently, VCR uses an electronic system for maintaining senior volunteers, 55 and Older.  Their activities under the retired and senior Volunteer Program.

7. Two current system  Activities of all other volunteers (younger than 55 years) are maintained using paper processes.

8. Documented Current business processes  Jeff and his team documented the current business processes using UML documentation such as the use- case diagram.  Jeff McCoy, leader of the project team, created use-case diagram to illustrate the different activities performed by the current electronic system.

10. Current Electronic System  The actors in the above use-case diagram include the following:  55-or-older volunteers,  VCR-employees,  Station-coordinators.  The current electronic system maintains information only on volunteers who are 55 or older.  More details in page 8 …

12. The current manual/paper processes  This includes all processes not integrated with the current electronic system.  Some of the processes indicated in this use-case diagram do not necessarily involve “paper.”  However, they use manual processes such as using the typewriter or maintaining documents and spreadsheets that are not integrated with the electronic system.

13. The current manual/paper processes  The actors in the above use-case diagram include the following:  VCR-employee and  The donor.

15. Analysis of the Current System   Based on the analysis of the current system, these are the problems and opportunities for improvement: 1.Problem: 1.Problem: The Volunteer Center is using a hybrid paper and electronic system. Opportunity: Combine into one unified electronic system. Remaining 8 problems are distributed to students …

16. Discuss the students’ system requests  Each student has 5 to 7 min. to present his/her system request:  Give us a brief about  the enterprise  The current system  Problems  Solutions  and more …
