...and Support Paper 129-2007 Project Organization Proposal (POP) and Project Leadership Plan Guide Rex Pruitt, PREMIER Bankcard, Inc., Sioux Falls, SD 57104 ABSTRACT In my 20+ years of experience using SAS and organizing projects, the success or failure of any project, no matter how small or large, generally resulted from how well a project was planned, organized and executed. This paper presents an easy to use Project Organization Proposal (POP) that can be implemented without adding additional resources to the MIS or IT divisions. It simply suggests the effective use of existing resources. However, as would be expected, the POP will only succeed if it receives support from 1) business MIS Management, 2) IT Management, 3) and their respective staff. The collaboration of all resources associated with a project is critical to its success. Clearly defining roles and accountabilities must be established prior to project initiation. Also included in this paper is a Project Leadership Plan guide. This guide will serve as a critical planning document, or checklist, that can be used to ensure that any project meets with success. If this guide cannot be completed, the project should not be initiated. 1 SAS Global Forum 2007 Planning, Development and Support INTRODUCTION In my 20+ years of experience using SAS and organizing projects, the success or failure of any project, no matter how small or large, generally resulted from how well a project was planned...

...Course: Date: Rapid Project Development Introduction Rapid project development is a software development methodology which uses less planning to favor prototyping; this planning is reached in writing the software itself which will allow it to be faster and easy for requirements changes because of lack of pre-planning in the software. The powerful case software should be available for the developers to come with the system faster because it will enable developers to come up with the best system irrespective of programming language and the cording system. The product should be produced within less time so that it can be tested by the users i.e. the prototype should be designed fully and produced within short time for the users to use it first if it can help their organization to the maximum level or not. If not they have to return the system to the developers to start working on it again. This system started around 1970 and it’s still used today because of its special lifecycle where we had planning, analysis, design, building testing and deploying to the users. The rapid project development should be compressed and also another lifecycle should be followed before providing it for the users to start using it in their organization or business premises firstly the developers should give what they require to the organization or the customer who needs to make the project for them to make the budget after which the developers should design the project for implementation.

...ABSTRACT Survey research is believed to be well understood and applied by MIS scholars. It has been applied for several years, it is well defined, and it has precise procedures which, when followed closely,yield valid and easily interpretable data. Our assessment of the use of survey research in the MIS field between 1980 and 1990 indicates that this perception is at odds with reality. Our analysis indicates that survey methodology is often misapplied and is plagued by five important weaknesses: (1) single method designs where multiple methods are needed, (2) unsystematic and often inadequate sampling procedures,(3) low response rates, (4) weak linkages between units of analysis and respondents, and (5) over reliance on cross-sectional surveys where longitudinal surveys are really needed. Our assessment also shows thatthe quality of survey research varies considerably among studies of different purposes: explanatory studies are of good quality overall, exploratory and descriptive studies are of moderate to poor quality.This article presents a general framework for classifying and examining survey research and uses this framework to assess, review and critique the usage of survey research conducted in the past decade in the MIS field. In an effort to improve the quality of survey research, this article makes specific recommendations that directly address the major problems highlighted in the review. INTRODUCTION Science may be said to progress on its methods. The production...

...1. Objective All the technologies are easily available from IT vendors but what distinguishes the companies which leverage these technologies is how management is able to fit the technology into their strategies. This needs an understanding of the roles of managers in the use of MIS. 3. MIS Framework 4.1 Strategic Planning for IT Application Critical Success Factors * Competitor: Steel industry is growing at a rapid face. Tata Steel, JSW, Essar and Jindal Steel and Power are more than doubling their capacity. They are bringing in new technology which makes their product of the best quality. Backward integration in raw material by most of the new plants has has snatched the low cost advantage of SAIL. * Buyer: Customer has become choosy and quality conscious not only in the product but its timely delivery as well. Need to expand to all corners of country with dedicated network. * Substitute: Low quality and low cost steel by china and erstwhile CIS countries have acted as a substitute because of its low price. Aluminium and plastic corrugated sheets acted as a viable substitute to steel. Generic Competitive Strategies Competitive Positioning: SAIL has been market leader in semi finished steel business like Blooms, Billets, slabs, CR and HR coils etc. In the last few years it has focused on value addition and gone ahead with “made to order” products. The share of value added products in the last FY was 36%. It should aim to further...
