Lesson 1: How to Develop a Customer Ticket Management System in Vb.net (Lesson 1 Focus: Overview) #83

I will demonstrate step by step software development in different platforms using different approaches. Platform for this lesson is: VB.net and MS SQL Server. I will provide short-notes and video trainings incrementally. I will update the notes time to time.

  • Project Focus: We assumed as part of the project management process of an imaginary company, a project charter is approved.
  • Project Charter: In the initiation phase of project management, a project charter is created describing the details of the project
  • Project Statement: Key Features from the Project Charter:
    • The project will develop a customer ticket management system.
    • Phone calls and emails from the customers will create a ticket in the system (only if the customers select the option to create a ticket. Appropriate category also need to be selected by the customers).[will not be demonstrated in my lessons]
    • Customers will be able to place tickets from the company web-site
    • Tickets should be assigned to the TSRs. TSRs performance need to be tracked
    • Ticket histories need to be maintained
    • Customer activities need to be monitored
  • Now the Project Planning Phase:
    • Now we need to plan the project. It involves, time management plan, cost management plan, communication management plan, human resource management plan, quality control plan (setting the quality attributes of the software, how to measure quality), quality assurance plan (how to achieve the quality), risk management plan, project closing plan, plan on ethical aspects of the project.
    • In planning phase, timing for these activities can also be set/determined.
    • However, to work on the planning, we need a detail understanding of the software/system/requirements. System analysis may be done at this point to understand the software/system/requirements. Project managers may define the time lines for system analysis as well.
    • System analysis may be run in this phase to understand the system better and also to find out the requirements of the software
    • Based on the system analysis, a detail requirements can be determined. A work breakdown structure can be created.
    • Human resource management plan can be done at this point [or after time management plan. We are in planning step. Hence, things can really overlap]. Based on the system analysis, it can be determined, how many people will be required. What will be the responsibilities of the people involved. Human resource management will also be affected by the project budget and time requirements
    • For time management plan: the project manager can assign time (in hour) for each task/work. It can be based on the type of the work, past experience of the project manager, similar assignments done in the company, the formula time = (best estimate+4*reasonable estimate + worst estimate)/6 may be used. As part of project risk management, some buffering on time may be kept/considered.
    • Then cost can be planned for each task/work. Based on the budget, and time requirements cost can be assigned to each work/task. Also, the hourly rate of the people involved will affect the cost management.
    • Later I will provide notes on other planning
  • Here, I will also provide notes on system analysis later

Sitemap Basics #86

What is a sitemap:
A sitemap is a file that contains the web-site structure. It will primarily contain URLs of different pages or sections of the web-site. You can provide additional information for each URL. It can be in text, HTML, and XML formats.

A text file containing all the URLs of a web-site can be treated as a sitemap. However, using HTML or XML, you can specify more information (change frequency, title, description and similar) about each of the URLs.

A sitemap written in XML for http://www.saLearningSchool.com can be seen at http://www.salearningschool.com/sitemap.xml

Sitemap Categories:

  • XML sitemap
  • HTML sitemap
  • Images sitemap
  • Video sitemap
  • News sitemap
  • Text formatted sitemap
  • Mobile sitemap

How can you generate a sitemap?
You can do it manually; or you can use web-based or standalone services to generate sitemaps. I created the above sitemap using the servicehttp://www.xml-sitemaps.com . Just put your url there, provide some information about the site contents, then click on Start. Your sitemap will be generated for free with 500 links in it. You can buy and install the Script from http://www.xml-sitemaps.com, and then create sitemaps with unlimited number of URLs. You can also create sitemaps of different types such as Image Sitemap, Video sitemap using the script.

What are Image and Video Sitemaps?
Image sitemaps will contain URLs for images with information about the images.
Video sitemap will contain URLs for videos in your site and information about the videos.

Sitemaps can be very helpful when your site is a very new one, has significant dynamic contents, your Ajax related pages cannot be easily crawled, you have contents that are not linked much or not linked at all.

Why do you need sitemaps?

It can greatly help in your SEO (Search Engine Optimization). Using google webmaster tools, you will be able to upload your sitemap to google.It’s a way to tell google about all of your pages; it is also a protection against the fact that Google Crawler may not find all of your pages.

URL for Google Webmaster:http://www.google.com/webmasters/

In Google webmaster, you can add your sites. You can upload your sitemaps. You can see the result of crawling your sites and sitemaps. You can see errors in your site crawling. You can see the pages indexed by google. You can see the keywords people used to find your site.Also, it will display the top queries.

The Benefits of Web-Based Help Desk Software #88

Web-based help desk software has become the most popular way to manage technical inquiries and issues. The ability to access your help desk from any PC in the world is a very convenient tool. These programs offer flexibility and accessibility that was unavailable in former product versions.

Like other help desk software products, web based products offer the ability for customers to create their own trouble tickets. Effectively managing trouble tickets can save your business both time and money. In some cases, having an informative F.A.Q. menu allows the customer to troubleshoot his or her problem without contacting the technical support department. Customers enjoy finding the answers to their problems quickly, without the traditional wait times.

Companies waste valuable resources when they do not effectively manage their customer issues. Web-based help desk software is much more productive than having multiple email addresses for customer messages. By offering a web based help desk, companies can manage their tickets by directing them to the appropriately trained personnel. Using this type of product can save thousands of dollars every month and prevent employees from becoming overworked and burnt out. Many companies also praise the flexibility of working with a web-based system. Customer and technical support can be managed from anywhere in the world. The web-based option overall is much more flexible than stationary help desk programs.

When researching your options for web based help desk software, please be aware that some companies may have hidden charges. Constant updates can become troublesome and costly ? it is wise to know what updates are expected and how frequently prior to purchasing a software package. Some software providers require additional purchases of database software components, web-servers and/or middleware. Know exactly what you are buying and what the future expectations are to ensure your satisfaction with your software.

Choosing a Cell Phone #89

Considering the innumerable varieties of cell phones in the market, it is quite a challenging task to choose the best one. However, the basic criterion of selecting the best cell phone is to be absolutely clear about what your needs are. The best cellular phone is the one that is absolutely right for you. And, of course, you can only have the best cellular phone when you pay for what you want.

Tons of offers are also available. There are free cellular telephone offers, prepaid cellular, digital, mobile, web enabled and many more. No one can tell you which cell phone is best for you because every one has different needs when it comes to their cellular telephone. Some people want absolutely basic features while others want a lot of totally fantastic features. Some need a cellular telephone for e-mail, faxing and surfing the Internet. Many people want it to be top of the line while others prefer simplicity.

The process of buying a cell phone is so confusing. There are simply so many different handsets, networks, deals and call costs to consider that buying the right phone for your usage and budget can be very difficult.

Here are a few tips to help you choose the best cell phone. First of all, decide how much you want to spend and be clear on the features you need. Remember that the more the features, the higher the cost.

Purchase a battery with a decent battery life and judge the mobile phone by the talk time it gives. The bare minimum should be 2 hours of maximum talk-time plus 90 hours of maximum standby time.

Shop and compare for pricing and service. These days, quality phones are very cheap. There is a proliferation of cell phone makers including Nokia, Motorola, Ericson, Siemens, Samsung, Sony, etc. More importantly, cellular plans have come down enormously in overall price with some caveats.

Some standard features include caller ID, phone book with fast dial, call waiting, voice mail and auto-answering. Some also have other added features like your first incoming minute free. The high-end cell phones will have voice-a ctivated dialing, SMS, 2-way paging, games, scheduling calendars, digital organizer and all the standard features. The main thing is to see what fits into your life style best and also to be sure when and if the features expire.

While making a cell phone and service plan decision, remember that everybody’s needs are different. So what’s good for your friend may not be the best choice for you. Your best bet would be to search online for websites with good cell phone comparisons in order to get a quality cell phone offer.

To make sure that your cell phone comparisons are complete look at Nokia cell phones, Ericsson cell phones, Sprint cell phones, Motorola cell phones and Samsung cell phones. Research the different free cell phone offers, prepaid cell phones and service plans from brand names like AT
