The document discusses the process of identifying and selecting system development projects (SDP), which involves defining, designing, testing, and implementing software applications. It outlines three main steps: identifying potential projects, classifying and ranking them based on factors like strategic alignment and resource availability, and selecting projects that align with business objectives. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of understanding organizational goals to enhance the SDP identification and selection process.

11. IDENTIFYING AND SELECTING SDP
Three main steps:
Identifying potential development project.
Classifying and ranking IS development
project.
Selecting IS development projects.

12. IDENTIFYING AND SELECTING SDP
a) Identifying Potential Development
Projects
 Projects are identified by:
Top Management-greater strategic focus,
largest project size
Steering Committee-cross function focus,
formal cost-benefit analysis
User Department-narrow non-strategic focus,
fewer users and business functions
Development group-fewer development
delays, less concern on cost-benefit analysis

13. IDENTIFYING AND SELECTING SDP
 Top-Down Identification:
Top-down approach refers to
project that are determined,
planned and assigned by
someone with high level of
authority and a project
manager.

14. IDENTIFYING AND SELECTING SDP
 Bottom-Up Identification:
Bottom-up approach is
essentially the opposite of top-
down since instead of relying
on one person to plan the
project, it involves employee
from each stage.

15. IDENTIFYING AND SELECTING SDP
b) Classifying and Ranking IS Development
Projects
 Value Chain Analysis-Extent to which activities add value
and costs when developing products and/or services.
 Strategic Alignment-Extent to which project is seen as
helping the organization achieve its objectives and goals.
 Potential Benefits-Extent to which project is seen as
improving profits, customer service and duration of these
benefits.
 Resource Availability-Amount and type of resource the
project requires and their availability.
 Project size/Duration-Number of persons and length of
time needed to complete project

16. IDENTIFYING AND SELECTING SDP
c) Selecting IS development Projects.
 Actual selection of projects for further development
 Process of considering short and long-term projects
 Projects most likely to achieve business objectives are
selected

17. IDENTIFYING AND SELECTING SDP
Conclusion:
A clear understanding of the business and
the desired role of information system in
achieving organizational goals is a
precondition to improving the identification
and selecting process.
