Latest marks for diagram work

Marks for part 1 of the digital economy project

Liam:
The screenshot pictures are quite small and hard to see what you are referring to. But the research is very good and well written.
Well done.
9/10

Abigail:
Excellent work Abi, some very detailed sections. Lots of relevant screen shots. The font size on some pages is too large and not consistent, please recreate the pdfs with a consistent font size thanks. 9/10

Natasha:
Generally good, some big full screenshots of the website would be useful so that we can guage the structure and layout of it. Well written but it needs a little more detail in most sections about what is available of this website and how the customer uses it especially in the transaction section.
7/10


Steph:
Excellent overall, but the transaction section lets it down a little, it is very brief and does not really live up to the rest of the work you have done. Excellent detail generally, some more bigger screenshots in the transaction section would improve this.
9/10

Part 2 of the Digital Economy project, Back office processes

Back Office Processes

• You must produce some diagrams to show the main events that lead to an online purchase being made and those that take place once the purchase has been completed.  These diagrams should show all the "back-office processes", such as:

Registering and logging in	Searching for products	Tracking customers' actions	Maintaining the virtual shopping basket	Abandoned baskets
The checkout process	Stock control	Authorising Payment	Confirming and tracking an order	Despatch and delivery

• Your diagrams should show the chain of events and the information that flows between the customer, the different departments in the organisation, suppliers and other organisations that may be involved.

• It is not strictly necessary to give a written description to accompany the diagrams but the diagrams should be clear and easy to understand, so pay attention to keys and labelling.
