Below is a small section of an Obashi B&IT diagram taken from the ownership layer.
The diagram snippet represents two offices within an organisation, London and Glasgow with a total of four employees. Anthony divides his time between both offices and manages Megan and Peter in the London office while managing Karen in the Glasgow office.
A typical segment from a B&IT diagram (co-ordinates not usually shown)
Below are three scenarios involving the diagram above. For each list the logical steps involved in answering the question and how
this could be done programmatically. The output should be in a file called ANSWERS.md and live in the same directory as this file. Any supporting resources
should be placed into resources directory.
example
//find which offices Anthony works at (this is crude - just an example)
1 inspect each office element in turn
2 if the office <some condition> record it as a workplace
3 all recorded results <some result>
//programmatic
Step 1 can be automated by...
The condition in step 2...
Step 3 could be improved by...
-
The company owner wishes to know who works at the London office.
-
To boost skills the company is looking to cross train people who are co-located. Peter is familiar with Sage - who could he train?
-
As part of a company wide initiative the owner would like to acquaint employees who work in physically different locations - if Karen starts a video call who else should be on it?
Are there any common patterns or reusable logic in your answers?
