Documenting the Business Reporting Requirements
Business Rules
ER Model
Sample Data (2-3 rows for each entity)
Note: Database design business rules would always be defined first and the ER model would be based on
these rules. Begin by writing the rules first though you may find that this is an iterative process.
Please provide your peer review with constructive feedback to at least two other learners this week to
enable for a cohesive learning experience for everyone.
Week 4 Discussion – Normalization Diagram Peer Review
For this week’s discussion, please take the database design that you created in week 3 and post the
database normalization diagrams (data dependency diagrams) that would go along with your model.
Keep in mind, that when you are creating an ER model, you are almost always already in 3NF. This is
just a sign that you created your initial model well. Therefore, do not try and un-normalize your tables to
try and show 1NF and 2NF just for the sake of showing each step.
This exercise is designed to take what you developed in week 3 and allow you to create data dependency
diagrams by working through the normal form steps and rules. As you go through this process, you may
4
find additional normal form discrepancies that you may have missed in the design process. Please define
all dependencies in your data dependency diagrams.
Please provide your peer review with constructive feedback to at least two other learners this week to
enable for a cohesive learning experience for everyone.
Activity 1 – Writing the Business Case and Documenting the Business Reporting Requirements
Deliverables
A 300-500 word Abstract (single spaced, 12 point font) that answers the following questions about
your (hypothetical) business case:
The name of the business
What the nature of the business is
Scope and size of the business
Description of the business model (i.e. how does it make money? or does it?)
Description of the customers and products or services
Current state of the business where a database might improve the business (what is the
business problem the company has?)
A detailed listing of the business reporting requirements (a minimum of 6)
For example: a business reporting requirement might be stated as:
Must generate a report that specifies the names of customers who bought item number 10357
during the month of November.
Methodology
Brainstorm about an interesting business that is small enough to describe, and that would have a business
need to improve its data capturing and reporting capability. You should clearly understand, and articulate,
the business model (how it operates, functions, makes money, etc.), who its customers are, and the basic
flow of information inside the company. This is a hypothetical company, so you can be creative. But a
word of caution: don’t let the scope get too large! You want something that is manageable for this
assignment.
Activity 2 – Develop the E-R Model for the Business
Deliverables
A textual representation of the “data set” for the company. This is a list of all the data values that the company needs (or would like to) keep track of in the business. For example: customers
name, address, phone, email, etc. This should include all areas of operation described in your
business case scenario. An example of this would be as follows: CUSTOMER (cust_fname,
cust_lname, cust_address…etc).
Document the business rules for the company. Include all business rules that satisfy the multidirectional relationships between business entities.
The normalized Entity-Relationship model (ERD) for the business. Show all data modeling work, to include cardinality of relationships, key constraints, and relevant assumptions made in
modeling the data.
Methodology
Using appropriate data modeling and data normalization techniques create an E-R model for the business
described in your business case scenario. The ER model will be developed by going through SDLC
5
functions/steps described in deliverables 1 and 2. The model for deliverable 3 can be illustrated using
PowerPoint, a simple E-R modeling tool, or any software program that has the needed modeling tools.
Show all work in creating the model as you move from 1NF -> 2NF -> 3NF, as well as implementation of
primary and foreign key constraints.
Activity 3 – Develop the Data Dictionary and Entity Participation Constraints

Content (worth a maximum of 50% of the total points) |
Zero points: Student failed to submit the final paper. |
20 points out of 50: The essay illustrates poor understanding of the relevant material by failing to address or incorrectly addressing the relevant content; failing to identify or inaccurately explaining/defining key concepts/ideas; ignoring or incorrectly explaining key points/claims and the reasoning behind them; and/or incorrectly or inappropriately using terminology; and elements of the response are lacking. |
30 points out of 50: The essay illustrates a rudimentary understanding of the relevant material by mentioning but not full explaining the relevant content; identifying some of the key concepts/ideas though failing to fully or accurately explain many of them; using terminology, though sometimes inaccurately or inappropriately; and/or incorporating some key claims/points but failing to explain the reasoning behind them or doing so inaccurately. Elements of the required response may also be lacking. |
40 points out of 50: The essay illustrates solid understanding of the relevant material by correctly addressing most of the relevant content; identifying and explaining most of the key concepts/ideas; using correct terminology; explaining the reasoning behind most of the key points/claims; and/or where necessary or useful, substantiating some points with accurate examples. The answer is complete. |
50 points: The essay illustrates exemplary understanding of the relevant material by thoroughly and correctly addressing the relevant content; identifying and explaining all of the key concepts/ideas; using correct terminology explaining the reasoning behind key points/claims and substantiating, as necessary/useful, points with several accurate and illuminating examples. No aspects of the required answer are missing. |
Use of Sources (worth a maximum of 20% of the total points). |
Zero points: Student failed to include citations and/or references. Or the student failed to submit a final paper. |

There are significant errors in formatting and/or the total omission of major components of an APA 6th edition paper. They can include the omission of the cover page, abstract, and page numbers. Additionally the page has major formatting issues with spacing or paragraph formation. Font size might not conform to size requirements. The student also significantly writes too large or too short of and paper |
7 points out of 10: Research paper presents an above-average use of formatting skills. The paper has slight errors within the paper.
