This week, as part of the final project, you will perform the following tasks:
  • Identify your case study’s IT processes in key areas of the IT/IS lifecycle and describe them according to the major domains.
  • Conduct a preliminary evaluation of internal IT processes, focusing primarily on project management and software development.
  • Refine your balanced scorecard as needed, possibly expanding the IT-related goals and the performance metrics.
  • Create a process RACI chart that maps management practices to their related roles and indicate the levels of responsibility for each role.
