Answer to Question 1

The three primary activities are identifying potential development projects, classifying and ranking IS development projects, and selecting IS development projects. During the first activity, projects can be identified by a variety of sources. A key member of top management, a steering committee, user departments, and the development group are possible sources. Classifying and ranking IS development projects, the second major activity, focuses on assessing the relative merit of potential projects. Various criteria (value chain analysis, strategic alignment, potential benefits, resource availability, project size/duration, and technical difficulty/risks) can be used to evaluate the projects. The last activity, selecting IS development projects, is the actual selection of projects for further development. Consideration is given to both short- and long-term projects. Projects most likely to achieve business objectives are selected. Numerous factors (perceived organizational needs, existing systems and ongoing projects, resource availability, evaluation criteria, current business conditions, and decision maker perceptions) impact the selection process. Acceptance, rejection, and conditional acceptance are possible outcomes for this activity.
