Customers face the issue of trying to book an appointment for their pets to be groomed and so our app comes into place and can aid customers into choosing a pet shop and book an appointment for their pets and look at the prices as well. They can book appointments through the app, see prices based on the kind of pet they have, select location.Design a fish bone diagram and functional decomposition diagram based on the description given above.
Suppose that Ms. Hamir stacked the deck with her design proposal. In other words, she purposefully under-designed the less expensive solution and produced a cost estimate for the higher-end version that she knew would come in over budget if it were chosen. She also knew that the customer had a tendency to hire design consultants to do build projects. Discuss with your classmates if you think it is unethical to produce a consulting report that steers a client toward a specific outcome.
Suppose instead that Ms. Hamir had prepared a report that truthfully recommended the more expensive option as the better choice for the customer in her best professional opinion. Suppose that the customer decided on the less expensive option solely to reduce costs without regard to the project's security outcomes. Would Ms. Hamir be ethically sound to urge reconsideration of such a decision? Why or why not, discuss this further with your classmates.
