IT 500: Final Project Guidelines and Grading Guide
Overview and Outcomes
The final project for this course is the creation of an IT Systems
Development Project. This is a group project. You and your
group will work on all the aspects to implementing a new or
updated information system into a business from a project
management perspective. Your group can choose a real-life
implementation of one of your companies or use a scenario
provided of a company thinking of implementing a new system.
Your group will have to consider all aspects of an IT systems
development project for your company, including an overview,
an implementation plan for the IT system, a timeline and
resources, and a risk management plan for your organization.
Your role is to oversee this new system implementation from a
management perspective while keeping in mind your learned
knowledge of IT in this course.
This project is divided into several milestones, which will be
submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold
learning and ensure quality final submissions. The final project
submission consists of a Group Paper due in Module Ten and a
Group Presentation due in Module Eleven.
This project will demonstrate your knowledge of the steps
needed to implement a new information system into a business.
To successfully complete this project, you will be expected to
apply what you have learned in this course and should include
several of the following course outcomes and learning
objectives:
· Propose methods for incorporating appropriate information
technologies within a contemporary organization based on their
potential to create a competitive advantage in the global
marketplace
· Develop an information systems project that meets the needs
of an organization using appropriate management
methodologies, system development processes, and
technological tools
· Discuss systems development processes from a management
perspective
· Collaborate with peers to develop an information systems
project
· Identify the timeline and resources to allocate in an
information systems development project
· Analyze the risk factors and organizational change with
implementing a systems development project
· Identify the processes that add value to an organization with
respect to information systems
· Explain how information systems are used to support the
major business functions

Principles of an Effective Presentation: (referenced in the
rubrics under Critical Element “Addressing the Context”)
· You may utilize a product such as Microsoft’s PowerPoint,
Adobe Captivate, Prezi or Google Presentation to create your
presentations.
· There are various template designs that you can find on the
web for your presentation. However, first consider your
presentation from the perspective of your audience prior to
selecting a specific style. Distracting backgrounds, large blocks
of text, all uppercase fonts, elaborate font styles, grammatical
errors and misspellings are distracting. Be consistent with the
style of text, bullets, and sub-points in order to support a
powerful presentation that allows your content to be the focus.
· Each slide should include your key point(s). Do not place
large blocks of text on the visual. Your presentation is not a
means of presenting a short paper. In an actual presentation you
would not “read” from your slides but rather use them as
prompts.
· Any notes or narration you would use in delivering this
presentation to a group should be listed in the “notes” section of
the slide.
· References should be listed at the bottom of the slide in
slightly smaller text.
· Use clip art, AutoShapes, pictures, charts, tables, and
diagrams to enhance but not overwhelm your content.
· Be mindful of the intended audience and seek to assess the
presentation’s effectiveness by gauging audience
comprehension (when possible)
Below are some links that offer helpful tips and examples for
developing your presentations:

Beyond Bullet Points: The Better Way to Use PowerPoint
Really Bad PowerPoint and How to Avoid it
· Suggest two (2) circumstances under which criminal
defendants would be entitled to an attorney. Specify two (2)
critical stages of the criminal proceedings at which defendants
may exercise their right to counsel. Provide a rationale for your
response.
· Suppose someone you know is a suspect in a crime and has
been taken into police custody for questioning. Justify the need
for an attorney at this point in order to preserve the suspect’s
right against self-incrimination, as guaranteed by the Fifth
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Provide a rationale for
your response.
· From the e-Activity, examine three (3) standards that you
found in the preamble for the ABA Model Code of Professional
Responsibility. Assert the primary reasons why you believe that
each one is important for effectively regulating the actions of
attorneys. Provide specific examples to support your rationale.
· Take a position on whether or not a defendant can be
convicted solely from ineffectiveness of counsel. Support your
position with examples of the role that ineffective counsel has
played in the outcome of trials.
This is the e-activity below
Go to the American Bar Association (ABA) Website and review
the ABA Model Code of Profession Responsibility located at
http://www.americanbar.org/groups/professional_responsibility/
resources/lawyer_ethics_regulation/model_rules_for_lawyer_dis
ciplinary_enforcement/preamble.html.
Portion for group project
Systems Analysis: I select to provide my group with the
Systems Analysis for the following mock company below:
This week we have a milestone ad it is worth 20 points for each
of us. We need to do a one page summary, including company
overview, needs analysis, and systems analysis.
We will use a company like Best Buy and name our software
INTRUST (INventory TRacking System). The store can carry 3
products like TV's, Tablets and Computers and more because
that will be very in depth and difficult. So basically we will be
implementing our new INTRUST system to track the inventory
of these 3 products because the old one is no longer useful.
Please include the following:
II. Implementation Plan
a) Systems Analysis (Note that depending on your project,
not all of the below questions will apply)
• What hardware and software is needed?
• How many users will this affect?
• Is this a global solution?
• What kinds of tools will be used for development?
• Can an existing platform (network, servers, computers,
etc.) be reused?
• Is a database needed? If so, which one will you consider?
Why?
• Is this a new software application or will it be replacing an
existing one?
• Will you purchase an off-the-shelf product? Will it be
beneficial to build a specific system?

You and your group will work on all the aspects to implementing a new or updated information system into a business from a project management perspective. Your group can choose a real-life implementation of one of your companies or use a scenario provided of a company thinking of implementing a new system. Your group will have to consider all aspects of an IT systems development project for your company, including an overview, an implementation plan for the IT system, a timeline and resources, and a risk management plan for your organization. Your role is to oversee this new system implementation from a management perspective while keeping in mind your learned knowledge of IT in this course. This project is divided into several milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. The final project submission consists of a Group Paper due in Module Ten and a Group Presentation due in Module Eleven. This project will demonstrate your knowledge of the steps needed to implement a new information system into a business. To successfully complete this project, you will be expected to apply what you have learned in this course and should include several of the following course outcomes and learning objectives: · Propose methods for incorporating appropriate information technologies within a contemporary organization based on their potential to create a competitive advantage in the global marketplace · Develop an information systems project that meets the needs

If so, which one will you consider? Why? · Is this a new software application or will it be replacing an existing one? · Will you purchase an off-the-shelf product? Will it be beneficial to build a specific system? III. IT Systems Design and Development (Note that depending on your project, not all of the below questions will apply) · If you are going to purchase an off-the-shelf product, describe how it will be implemented into your current system. · If you are going to build a system, will it need programming? · How will your IT system connect to your current system? Will you need to obtain additional hardware? · What reporting is needed? · Is additional training needed internally? · Is there ample staff, or will consultants be needed? b) Testing · Will a standard testing mechanism be used, such as use cases? · At what point will the users be involved in the testing?

  • 13. · You may utilize a product such as Microsoft’s PowerPoint, Adobe Captivate, Prezi or Google Presentation to create your presentations. · There are various template designs that you can find on the web for your presentation. However, first consider your presentation from the perspective of your audience prior to selecting a specific style. Distracting backgrounds, large blocks of text, all uppercase fonts, elaborate font styles, grammatical errors and misspellings are distracting. Be consistent with the style of text, bullets, and sub-points in order to support a powerful presentation that allows your content to be the focus. · Each slide should include your key point(s). Do not place large blocks of text on the visual. Your presentation is not a means of presenting a short paper. In an actual presentation you would not “read” from your slides but rather use them as prompts. · Any notes or narration you would use in delivering this presentation to a group should be listed in the “notes” section of the slide. · References should be listed at the bottom of the slide in slightly smaller text. · Use clip art, AutoShapes, pictures, charts, tables, and diagrams to enhance but not overwhelm your content. · Be mindful of the intended audience and seek to assess the presentation’s effectiveness by gauging audience comprehension (when possible) Below are some links that offer helpful tips and examples for developing your presentations: Making PowerPoint Slides
