PROJECT PRESENTATION RATING SHEET

Group Name: Proposed Project:

Date: Professor: Engr. Remedios G. Ado

OBJECTIVES

The Main objective of this presentation is for the professor to closely examine the components of the proposed project. Hence, the students must be able to present the following:

I. Organizational Framework - size of agency in terms of number of personnel and budget; mission statement which contains the goals of the agency based on its mandate; strategic thrusts or programs of the agency stating its major undertaking to achieve goals; business systems that are pursued regularly for the implementation of the programs; and strategic concerns for IT use showing how the agency intends to apply IT.

II. Information Systems Strategy – description of identified Information Systems (ISs); Impact of the ISs to the agency’s thrusts, business operations, and strategic areas of governance; information system linkages which sows the functional usage of the IS to a workgroup; strategy to be used in the development of the identified ISs; and description of databases to be created.

III. Technology Strategy – technology option chosen which points out what computing scheme to be adopted; technology establishment which shows the resources to be used for the agency’s computerization; IT organizational structure envisioned; and technology chosen which must be sustainable over a reasonable period of time.

IV. Implementation Strategy – prioritization of ISs to be developed; phasing of IS development activities is feasible and logical; and cost estimation for the IT Investment and Development Program.

TIME REQUIREMENT:

Each group will be given 20 minutes to discuss all the requirements and time for the question and answer portion. All members should have been presented their parts as they are also rated individually.
