Congratulations. Your project has been staffed and you are about to meet with the team for the first time.
Initial impressions are important and you’ll need visuals for your presentation. Create a slide show (in
PowerPoint or similar software) in which you address the following, in this order:
- Goals: What the project hopes to accomplish.
- Critical Success Factors: Identify at least 4 different stakeholders; for each, list at least 2 things
that the stakeholder requires in order to deem the project successful.
- Acquisition strategy: Should the system be built in-house, created by a contractor, purchased off the-shelf and customized, or leased as a service? Explain your rationale.
- Resources: For in-house development, what people/skills are required and what development
lifecycle do you recommend? Otherwise, identify 3 candidate organizations that can deliver the
system.
- System functions: In a table format, summarize the types of users for the system; the business
reason(s) each would use the system; the ways that the system supports each of these needs;
and how this support differs from the current system.
- Connectivity: Provide a diagram that shows how the system will connect to the other information
systems and what data flows among them.
- Security: List the most serious cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities of the new system.
Suggest strategies to address them.
- Mobility: Identify the system’s capabilities for mobile use.
Include a title and summary slide. Use one slide for each of the 8 points above. Include speaker notes or
the audio narration that explains each slide more fully.
