Business Inquiry Quarter (hereinafter, the Quarter) is the first of four lectures of Operations Quadrivium (hereinafter, the Quadrivium):
- The Quarter is designed to introduce its learners to enterprise discovery, or, in other words, to concepts related to obtaining data needed to administer the enterprise effort; and
- The Quadrivium examines concepts of administering various types of enterprises known as enterprise administration as a whole.
The Quadrivium is the first of seven modules of Septem Artes Administrativi, which is a course designed to introduce its learners to general concepts in business administration, management, and organizational behavior.
Contents
Outline
The predecessor lecture is Project Management Quarter.
Concepts
- Enterprise discovery. All activities resulted in obtaining of any data relevant to further effort development undertaken in order to achieve the effort goal or goals.
- Activity. The smallest portion of an enterprise effort that has its own name, input, description, timeframe, and measurable result.
- Workspace.
- Workplace.
- "Boiled frog" phenomenon. A perspective on recognizing performance declines that suggests watching out for subtly declining situations.
- ISO 9000. A series of international quality management standards that set uniform guidelines for processes to entire products conform to customer requirements.
- Experiment
- Prototype. A partial or preliminary version of the system.
- Throw-away prototype. A prototype used to quickly uncover and clarify interface requirements using simple tools, sometimes just paper and pencil. Usually discarded when the final system has been developed.
- Exploratory prototype. A prototype developed to explore or verify requirements.
- Horizontal prototype. A prototype that shows a shallow, and possibly wide, view of the system's functionality, but which does not generally support any actual use or interaction.
Methods
- Request for information (RFI). A requirements document issued to solicit vendor input on a proposed process or product. An RFI is used when the issuing organization seeks to compare different alternatives or is uncertain regarding the available options
- Request for proposal (RFP). A requirements document issued when an organization is seeking a formal proposal from vendors. An RFP typically requires that the proposals be submitted following a specific process and using sealed bids which will be evaluated against a formal evaluation methodology.
- Request for quote (RFQ). An informal solicitation of proposals from vendors.
Instruments
Practices
The successor lecture is Controlling Quarter.
