* Note: A Turnitin analysis (see http://turnitin.com/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. for information on this product) will be automatically applied to your assignment submission to indicate the potential degree of “originality,” which means that you have interpreted and are discussing your research results “in your own words” (paraphrasing) or are using proper APA citation methods to include the words of others. A Turnitin analysis percentage of 15% or higher will result in your receiving a zero on this assignment unless a review indicates that all sources have been correctly cited in APA format: be aware that all similar assignments from prior semesters in this course are included in Turnitin analyses of originality.

Scenario: Your team works for a consulting company specializing in systems analysis, design, and implementation services and the PMI project management methodology (see http://www.pmi.org/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. ) used to manage those services. In order to provide an effective decision support tool for your team’s work on future consulting assignments, you have been asked to complete an initial, foundation task. See the Business Case for the hypothetical organization serving as your team’s systems development and project management client.

The Tasks:

1. Prepare a report to guide management of the two best alternatives for a systems development methodology (reference Chapter 1) in ranked order (best and second best) to serve the client organization detailed in the Business Case MCMDU. In this report, identify and describe each of the two best alternatives for the systems development methodology for the client organization. Then, provide a strong justification on why you are recommending consideration of the two methodologies (specifically, how do they “fit” the client organization and how are they more suitable than the other methodologies identified and described in Chapter 1) as the best alternatives.
2. Prepare a report to guide management through the recommendation of an optimal software systems acquisition strategy for the consulting assignment described in the Business Case MCMDU. Once again, this report should be specific to the client organization. As in the previous report detailed above, identify and describe each of the two best alternatives for the software source for the client organization and then provide a strong justification on why you are recommending consideration of the two software sources (specifically, how do they “fit” the client organization and how are they more suitable than the other software sources identified and described in Chapter 2) as the best alternatives.
3. Prepare a report to to guide management by identifying potential “best practices” (see a good definition of this term at http://searchsoftwarequality.techtarget.com/definition/best-practice (Links to an external site)Links to an external site. for the following organizational processes:
   1. Six or more “best practices” in successfully identifying and selecting (identify how each proposed best practice targets either “identifying” or “selecting”) potential information systems projects in organizations. See the content of textbook Chapter 4.
   2. Six or more “best practices” in successfully initiating and planning (identify how each proposed best practice targets either “initiating” or “planning”) selected information systems projects in organizations. See the content of textbook Chapter 5.
4. Information Systems Project Management Constraints and Project Manager Skills (reference Chapter 3 and PMI.org (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.):
   1. Identify a “quadruple constraint” to success in information systems projects. Explain each of the constraints individually in term of what aspects of project management it involves and why is is difficult to overcome in information systems project management. Finally, explain and recommend two or more strategies that may help in overcoming each of the constraints (eight strategies, total).
   2. Write a a complete and effective job ad for a Project Manager in Information Systems projects. The ad must include the following components: Description of Duties, Required Skills and Abilities, and Minimum Educational requirements for Candidates. Note: resist the temptation to locate one online and then copy and paste that for this task — you are welcome to review those that you locate, but your must think for yourselves as a team to analyze those and develop one as an original product for your team.

Skill Development-Improving Attitudes, (from Chapter 2)

You should have read and now understand attitudes and personality traits. Effective leaders know themselves and work to maximize their strengths and minimize their weaknesses. As the name of this exercise implies, you can improve your attitudes and personality traits through this exercise by following these steps.

1. Identify strengths and weaknesses. Review the six self-assessment exercises in this chapter. List your three major strengths and areas that can be improved:

Strengths:

Before completing this exercise, you may want to ask someone you know well to: 1) complete your personality profile (see Self-Assessment 1 on page 32), 2) rate your attitude as positive or negative, and 3) list your strengths and areas for improvement.

2. Develop a plan for improving. Start with your Number One area to improve. Write down specific things that you can do to improve. List specific times, dates, and places that you will implement your plans.

You may want to review the 12 tips for developing a more positive attitude and self-concept for ideas.
