Case Assignment
When you've read through the articles and related material, scanned the websites, and thought about it carefully, please prepare a short (4-5 page) paper discussing the question:
"Discuss how IT manager could create and maintain a successful and winning project team"
You should probably be prepared to address issues such as the definition of "success," costs and benefits involved, and who either receives or pays them, sources of pressure on the team and its management, and responsibilities incurred by the various participants.
Assignment Expectations
Your paper should be short (4-5 pages, not including cover sheet and references) and to the point. It is to be structured in the following manner.
You are expected to:
- Begin this paper by stating your position on this question of managerial practices, clearly and concisely
- Citing appropriate sources, present the reasons why you take this position. Be sure to make the most effective case you can. Use the Poole case fol illustrations where possible.
- Then present the best evidence you can, again citing appropriate sources, against your position-that is, establish what counterarguments can be made to your original position.
- Finally, review your original position in light of the counterarguments, showing how they are inadequate to rebut your original statement.
