Assignment:

1. I conducted a SWOT analysis on becoming a daycare facility owner. My input below:

Strengths

• Providing working parents with a center to bring their children when they are not in school/Provide reliable services
• My hours of operation will provide my center with an advantage.
• A business license allows me to conduct my business legally and without discrepancies
• Reasonable prices
• All payments will be excepted
• Security system all around outside and inside

Weaknesses

• The first year of a business is always the hardest and most vital
• It will be hard for me to maintain reasonable prices for the customers if I cannot manage to make a profit
• I will have to lose money before I can ever expect to make a profit.
• New facility so my clientele may be limited
• Limited funding
• Start-up cost

Opportunities

• Hopefully in time, I can stretch my business to other communities with similar needs
• I can acquire new business acquaintances. Every customer that comes into the center presents a new opportunity
• Paring with other companies

Threats

• The other, older daycares have more experience and faithful clients.
• The other daycares will start to offer the same hours in fear of competition
• Someone getting hurt
• Insurance going up because of threats
• Workers quitting
• Not enough clients to keep business open

I need assistance with the following items:

2. Expand on your analysis with a strategic plan to address each area. How do you protect or ensure strengths and opportunities while mitigating risks and threats?

DevOps

3. After reading more about DevOps, consider where it fits with your organization or department. What principles and practices would you consider useful to adopt? Why?

Models and Frameworks

4. Also consider the Agile and Waterfall models as well as Scrum. Again, which would you adopt? Will more than one work for different aspects of the business?

5. I need a diagram or flowchart detailing how the model or framework you chose would work within your structure.
