Answer to Question 1

1,3,4
Rationale: The needs assessment committee should start the process by examining the vision and mission statements of the organization as well as the strategic plan. This will guide the committee in looking to the future and determining the organization's information needs while continuing to support the mission. From this, goals or a charge should be developed to guide the work of the committee. The committee should consider using brainstorming techniques later when defining the expectations of an information system.
