W3A1.1

We would like to see you passing this course. We would like you to submit or re-submit assignment 1. Please read the following to help improve Assignment 1.

The focus of Assignment 1 is, "Shadow Information Technology (IT)."  Remember Shadow IT is the unauthorized use of anything on the organization’s Computers, Network, and/or Systems. This could include unauthorized thumb drives, accessing unauthorized clouds, using unauthorized software, unauthorized streaming of music/movies, and any other thing you can think of to use that has not been approved by the IT department.

The technology you are seeking to remove should be identified as Shadow IT in the introduction. For example, the Shadow IT we are removing is access to illegal cloud computing sites. Discuss the removal, replacement, and adoption of the technology to replace Shadow IT in every section of the assignment. Make it very clear. Do not leave anyone guessing. Remember just because you know does not mean the reader knows and/or understands.

Information to support the requirements found in the grading rubric/instructions/meeting overview can be found in the Text Book, Weekly Lecture, and Weekly Discussions. For example, the information on Data Management and Data Types can be found in the text book, and the Data Governance Discussion. There is no need to look outside of the class for additional information if you do not want too. There is also information provided in the Videos/Messages we place in the Blackboard Announcements.

We are giving everyone until Friday evening to submit/re-submit Assignment 1.  This gives you the weekend to complete the Case Study.

Something else that is very important to know. The Case Study builds off Assignment 1.
