Architecting the IT Governance Plan- Case Assignment

Architecting the IT Governance Plan- Assignment

The Capstone course is a summary of your learning from all previous MSITM coursework. Thus, it has some suggested recent materials in IT governance along with writing/Capstone Case guides, or other materials directly provided by your professor. Your course resources are the readings, background information, and other learning from your overall program. In addition, you are free to integrate such relevant information as you may additionally find through your own preparation. The readings from core courses in MSITM are under Optional Reading. A limited number of background readings will also be made available within this course for your review as interested.

Case Assignment

For this module, you will continue your description and assessment of your chosen organization. Please address the following important descriptive and analytic questions, providing enough information to assure clarity:

· Describe and discuss your organization from the perspective of relevant general systems (GST) principles and concerns. Elaborate on unique principles and how the organization is using them to foster success through their IT Governance Plan.

· Address a plan for how the organization might use general systems and applications to foster organizational improvement and positively leverage its future in the IT Governance Plan. Be specific with your ideas and examples.

Your focus must be principally on IT/ITM-related elements of your topic organization as you review/integrate GST principles and concerns into your IT Governance Plan.

Assignment Expectations

In all of this, you will need to reflect on your description and analysis (and perhaps adjust it accordingly) to ensure that you are able to integrate insight and learning from previous classes (and other sources as fits the circumstances). This means you must use at least five contiguous academically sound citations and later full references. Use enough concurrent discussion so that the purpose of each citation is apparent to the reader. This paper is incomplete without five academically sound references. Relevant magazine articles from such sources as CIO are acceptable. Note that a general review of GST for your IT Governance plan without illustration and examples from your topic organization is unacceptable.

You will be assessed on the appropriateness and completeness of the detail you provide regarding your selected organization, your use of citations and references as noted above, and your intellectual insight into topically important issues. You will also be assessed on how well you adhere to the specific Capstone Case Guidelines provided to you.

This is a draft, so if you need to make educated guesses at this stage, that is fine for now. Your paper should be at least four, if not more, double-spaced pages when finished. The issue in these case papers is not brevity; rather it is insight and completeness in dealing with the topic(s).

Note that you are expected to use correct grammar, spelling, and English vocabulary. Check your paper for missing or inappropriately used words. If in doubt, check the dictionary and not 'spell check.' Consider that this paper, and all others, will be reviewed by the CIO and/or your commanding officer. In this light, it is strongly suggested that you ask a trusted colleague to review and edit each of your papers. Papers which do not meet these guidelines will be returned to you.
