Activity: Presentation to the Animal-Shelter Client

Make your presentation to the director. Your teacher will decide how much time you have to present to the “client.”

Remember: This is a "meeting" between the client and your consulting company. You will present your ERD to the “director.” The ERD should serve as a communication tool, along with the business rules, to show the client that you understand their needs and that these needs are being met by the design.

This is an opportunity for the consultants to check their assumptions. “Tell the story" that the client told you during your initial meeting while showing and explaining the ERD.

Consultants should not use technical terms with the client such as unique identifier, attribute, or entity. Clients do not know what these things are. You can show the client how to read relationships on the diagram. Once the client understands how to read it, they should be able to help verify if the relationship is correct.

This is also a time for you to make sure that you are gathering all the data the client requires for each of the entities. For example, "Is there any other information that you would like to know about your adopters besides name and address?"
