Week 8 Status Report

Use the  Week 8 Status Report Template  to complete this assignment.

In Week 10, you will provide a detailed project presentation for your new information system project. Because of its importance to the organization, your presentation must be thoughtful and visually appealing. To help you stay on track for this three-week effort, the executives have assigned you a project manager. For each week leading up to the presentation, you are expected to turn in a short (less than one page) status report.

It must address just four things:

1. What did you expect to accomplish on the project this week?

2. What did you actually accomplish on the project this week?

3. What issues have arisen, and what help do you need?

4. What do you expect to accomplish on the project next week?

Please write up your responses as a series of bullet points in memo form. There is no need for a cover page

The Presentation

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:

1. Goals: What the project hopes to accomplish.

2. Critical Success Factors: Identify at least four different stakeholders; for each, list at least two things that the stakeholder requires in order to deem the project successful.

3. 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.

4. Resources: For in-house development, what people and skills are required and what development life cycle do you recommend? Otherwise, identify three candidate organizations that can deliver the system.

5. 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.

6. Connectivity: Provide a diagram that shows how the system will connect to the other information systems and what data flows among them.

7. Security: List the most serious cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities of the new system. Suggest strategies to address them.

8. Mobility: Identify the system’s capabilities for mobile use. Include a title and summary slide.

Use one slide for each of the preceding eight points.
