Use a word-processing, graphics, or spreadsheet program to draw an entity-relationship diagram showing the relationships among these entities. Next, design each of these tables showing the keys and attributes to be included in each table. Include five sample records for each table.1WE 2WE Do research to determine the current level of adoption of DevOps around the globe. Which organizations seem to be leaders in DevOps? What initiatives are these companies taking that makes them leaders?1CE Perform research to learn what is required to have a successful career as a software developer for smartphones. What sort of education and experience is needed? What personal characteristics would be helpful in such a career?

Discuss how you might be involved as a user in the development or acquisition of such a system for your future company. Identify three things that you could do as a project participant that would greatly improve the likelihood of a successful project. Now, identify three things that you could do (or fail to do) that could greatly diminish the probability of success of such a project.It is perhaps not surprising that Etsy was an early adopter of DevOps. It is a relatively small company, with a start-up culture, and its move to DevOps was championed by company leaders.
