Creation of an IT systems development paper and presentation. This is a group project. You and your group will work on all of the aspects to implementing a new or updated information system into a business from a project management perspective. Your group can choose a real-life implementation of one of your companies or use a scenario provided of a company thinking of implementing a new system.
Your group will have to consider all aspects of an IT systems development project for your company, including an overview, an implementation plan for the IT system, a timeline and resources, and a risk management plan for your organization. Your role is to oversee this new system implementation from a management perspective while keeping in mind your learned knowledge of IT in this course.
This project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. The milestones are due in Modules Three, Five, and Seven. The final project submission consists of a group paper due in Module Nine and a group presentation due in Module Ten.
