1. How important is it to have an established process when implementing a new information technology into an organization? Please give specifics and examples.
This is what I have:
An established process can help a company to review proposed IT projects, monitor their development performance and help them to understand whether the firm has the required infrastructure and necessary financial capability to handle these projects. For example an established process can review projects quarterly and ensure that cost and schedule overruns, and performance shortfalls average less than 10 percent. Once IT projects are approved, they can be reviewed quarterly by CIO to ensure that they map to the company's enterprise architecture.
Can your answer be in paragraphs? Thank you! Your HELP is greatly appreciated.
