This module provides students with a high-level overview of the Microsoft® Solutions Framework (MSF) Design Process Model and the MSF Application Model. Students will learn about design processes, how these processes form a model for solution design, and how they interact with one another. They will then learn about the various types of services and how these services fit together to form an application. | Instructor Notes Module 2 Solution Design Processes Introduction Presentation 20 Minutes This module provides students with a high-level overview of the Microsoft Solutions Framework MSF Design Process Model and the MSF Application Model. Students will learn about design processes how these processes form a Activity 25 Minutes model for solution design and how they interact with one another. They will then learn about the various types of services and how these services fit together to form an application. After completing this module students will be able to Explain design processes as they pertain to a business solution and data-centric solutions. Explain the concepts and benefits of services-based design. Identify phases in the project life cycle. Materials and Preparation This section provides you with the materials and preparation needed to teach this module. Materials To teach this module you will need the following materials Microsoft PowerPoint file Module 2 Solution Design Processes Activity Identifying Services Preparation To prepare for this module you should Read all materials for this module. Complete the activities. Read the white papers about MSF on the Instructor CD. 2 Instructor Notes Module 2 Solution Design Processes Activities Activity Identifying Services In this individual activity students categorize a list of services as user business or data. They then provide short answers to a series of questions concerning the use of services in application design. Finally lead students in a class discussion of their answers. Some activities in this course are fairly open-ended in design but the assignment of services to layers is a right-or-wrong activity. Ask for volunteers to share how they assigned the services rather than calling upon students and making them reveal an incorrect answer. Then use the responses of the rest of the class to gauge how well the class has grasped the concepts presented in the module. If a number of .
