How Poor Or Missing Requirements Can Kill An It ProjectLizLavaveshkul
The document discusses three case studies of failed IT projects and the importance of requirements analysis. In Case 1, an employee created a database for sales tracking without proper analysis, leading to performance issues as usage grew. Case 2 involved a startup's website development, where changing requirements without documentation caused delays. Case 3 was a disaster recovery plan project that faced scope creep and delays over 2.5 years. All three could have benefited from a business systems analyst to properly define and document requirements.

This document contains a case study and questions about Dell's financial performance, marketing strategies, and SWOT analysis. Some key points:
- Dell conducts research through customer panels, surveys, and social media to improve products and services.
- Dell's unique selling points are customization, direct sales to customers, and discounts.
- Dell generates revenue through increased demand for enterprise solutions, servers, storage, and services. Recent acquisitions expanded these capabilities.
- External threats include decreasing price differences between brands and slowing industry growth. Internal weaknesses are lack of appeal to students and difficulties with direct sales model for home users.
This document summarizes a conference on big data in the telecommunications industry. A key theme was that while telcos collect vast amounts of customer data, they have failed to fully utilize this data due to organizational silos. Belgacom provided a case study on how they consolidated customer data sources to better use all available information. Additionally, presenters discussed challenges around data quality and skills gaps that limit telcos' ability to generate insights from their data. Successful case studies demonstrated using predictive analytics to improve network investment and customer experience management. Overall, the conference highlighted that telcos should focus on using big data internally before attempting external sales of customer insights.
A recent survey and report by analyst firm ComTech Advisory suggests that a majority of users of ETRM/CTRM software might consider building custom software to meet their business requirements. In fact, around 70% of the survey’s respondents suggested they would consider such an option. As ComTech noted in the report, about 35% of the respondents were representatives of the top tier of the industry who have extremely complex, global, multi-commodity supply chain operations to manage. Nonetheless, given the maturing market for commercial E/CTRM solutions, the idea that anyone would chose to build a solution is perhaps surprising. ComTech concluded that especially in todays’ business environment of rising costs and diminished profits, a more appropriate solution might be to build around a commercially available solution.

Case Study: E&T Plastics Reduces Risk and Takes Control with NetSuite from MIBARMIBAR.net
Customer Profile:
E&T Plastics was faced with aging hardware and software that was no longer supported by their relevant providers. While MIBAR.net is fully committed to supporting their clients, when Microsoft ended support for SQL server 2005 and FoxPro (the language of business application, AccountMate, was written in) it presented too much risk to the company’s business continuity to ignore. Such excessive levels of risk, coupled with the increasing possibility of encountering larger problems that were beyond MIBAR’s ability to resolve, were a reason for MIBAR to strongly recommend to E&T that it was time to move on.
Given the long standing business relationship that had developed over 17 years of service and partnership with MIBAR.net, E&T Plastics trusted the team to explore implementing an industry leading cloud solution from Oracle.
MIBAR’s NetSuite recommendation was rooted in its deep understanding of E&T’s operational business challenges and started with the premise that a new solution needed to be agile and offer centralized reporting across all nine North American subsidiaries.
See what we did and how we helped E&T become more agile by reading the entire case study.

Dell's strategy focused on build-to-order manufacturing, mass customization, just-in-time inventory, direct sales, customer service, and data sharing with suppliers and customers.

Michael Dell founded Dell to build and sell personal computers directly to customers, bypassing resellers to reduce costs and inventory risks. This direct model gave Dell a substantial cost advantage over competitors.

In general, reliabilities less than 0.60 are considered to be poor, those in the 0.70 range, acceptable, and those over 0.80 good. Thus, the internal consistency reliability of the measures used in this study can be considered to be acceptable for the job enrichment measure and good for the other measures.
It is important to note that all the negatively worded items in the questionnaire should first be reversed before the items are submitted for reliability tests. Unless all the items measuring a variable are in the same direction, the reliabilities obtained will be incorrect.
A sample of the result obtained for the Cronbach’s alpha test for job enrichment, together with instructions on how it is obtained, is shown in Output 11.3.
The reliability of the job enrichment measure is presented in the first table in Output 11.3. The second table provides an overview of the alphas if we take one of the items out of the measure. For instance, it is shown that if the first item (Jobchar1) is taken out, Cronbach’s alpha of the new three-item measure will be 0.577. This means that the alpha will go down if we take item 1 out of our measure. On the other hand, if we take out item 3, our alpha will go up and become 0.851. Note that, in this case, we would not take out item 3 for two reasons. First, our alpha is above 0.7 so we do not have to take any remedial actions. Second, if we took item 3 out, the validity of our measure would probably decrease. We did not include item 3 for nothing in the original measure!
If, however, our Cronbach’s alpha was too low (under 0.60) then we could use this table to find out which of the items would have to be removed from our measure to increase the interitem consistency. Note that, usually, taking out an item, although improving the reliability of our measure, affects the validity of our measure .

Formal Essay #3: Reporting Information/The Expository Essay
Expository writing is a staple of academic writing. Throughout your academic and professional career, you will be called on to write hundreds of expository articles, reports and essays. A thorough knowledge of this writing form will hold you in good stead all through your career.
What is Expository Writing?
‘Expository’ is a synonym of ‘explanatory’. An expository essay is a piece of writing that explains or informs. It should be based on fact and free of the writer’s prejudices. Opinion is often expressed, but only if it is backed by fact. For example, if someone asked you to write an essay on the causes of World War II, you would write about Germany’s losses in World War I, the Treaty of Versailles, the fall of the Weimar Republic, and the rise of Hitler led Nazism. In other words, everything would be based on verifiable fact.
The expository writing process centers on four activities:
Generate a rough idea or hypothesis.
Find evidence to back up this idea.
Expound on the idea.
Present an argument to back up the idea.
Thus, if you were to say that the Treaty of Versailles was the chief cause of World War II, you would first talk about the conditions of the Treaty of Versailles, the financial condition of Germany after WWI, the ineffectiveness of the Weimar Republic, and how they all led to the rise of Nazism.
Structurally, a piece of expository writing has the following components:
An
introduction
that introduces the central idea you will discuss in the essay.
The
main body
that presents evidence to back up the idea. This is the meat of the essay.
A
conclusion
that presents your idea again in the light of the evidence.
Thus, the central thrust of expository writing should be to build towards proving an argument, fact by fact, piece of evidence by piece of evidence. You will use expository writing a lot throughout your academic life. Most essays that you write in college will be expository in nature. Most writing that you will do in your professional life will involve a lot of expository content as well. In other words, sharpening up this skill will serve you well throughout your life.

After the civil war, the African American, Hispanics and minorities suffered great discrimination in the workplace in particular and life generally. Precisely during the 1960s these groups went through denial of employment or appropriate wages irrespective of their standard of education being higher than that of their majority counterparts. There was a great debate about discrimination on the basis of color, race, gender or religion. Over the years, some programs have been developed in order to handle or to try and e.

5. strong track record of delivering projects on time and on
budget. His techniques for project
planning, estimating, and scheduling had become best practices
at the St. Louis-based computer
products company. He had just led a project team that
successfully revamped the supply chain
systems in less than eighteen months. He was especially proud
since many observers had doubted
that the project could be completed on time. As part of the
strategic initiatives set forth by its
CEO and founder, Ted Walter, A&D was to be second to none
in utilizing technology to increase
operational efficiency and reduce costs. The supply chain
project therefore received notable
attention in the boardroom and with its competitors. Time and
again, Johnson was asked to tackle
difficult assignments that were critical to the company’s growth
and profits. He had already been
mentioned as the successor to the vice president of e-business,
Chuck Gagler, pending his
retirement. (See Exhibit 1 for the A&D High Tech
organizational chart.)
In early May 2003 Johnson received an urgent message from the
company’s CIO, Matt
Webb. Webb asked Johnson to join him for a meeting with
A&D’s senior managers to discuss
taking over the company’s online store project. Johnson realized
that up to that point the
company’s top brass had virtually ignored the Internet and its
sales potential. But that situation
was about to change. As Webb explained, A&D’s vice president
of sales, Jeff White, had advised
CEO Ted Walter that A&D was losing its competitive advantage
by not selling online. As a
result, Walter had made the online store project the company’s
6. highest priority. Walter wanted to
know whether the project could be completed in time for the
holiday shopping season, when
A&D’s cyclic business traditionally boomed. The current
project manager, Eric Robertson, was
taking a one-month leave of absence due to a family emergency,
just as he was about to begin
formulating the project plan and make staffing decisions.
Johnson immediately began thinking about the best way to
ensure the online store project’s
success. He was concerned that there was too little time to get
up to speed on this new project. It
was already May, and the holiday season would approach soon.
Given the urgency put forth by
Webb and Walter, Johnson was already feeling pressure to come
up with solid recommendations
in short order.

A&D HIGH TECH (A) KEL156

Company History
A&D High Tech sold computer products, accessories, and
services to consumers and small
businesses. The company had its roots in Lincoln, Nebraska,
where Ted Walter started its first
7. store in 1988. A&D’s made-to-order products were very
innovative at the time, and were the first
to be introduced in the personal computer industry. Walter
emphasized friendly customer service,
a value that was deeply ingrained in the culture of the
Midwestern heartland where Walter had
lived his entire life. A&D’s revenues grew consistently for ten
years and approached $400 million
for fiscal year 2000. The company was primarily a regional
player, with more than 90 percent of
sales coming from customers in the Midwestern states.
However, Walter was strategically
seeking to increase its distribution nationally.
A&D sales had come predominantly through retail outlets in
shopping malls across the
Midwest and via phone orders handled by its fifty-person call
center in Lincoln. Before 1999,
sales orders at the call center were written on paper and then
passed to order-entry clerks. This
added time to order entry, delayed shipment, and resulted in
poor accuracy. Consequently, sales
representatives often had to contact customers to correct errors
or to suggest different options due
to inventory shortages. On average, 30 percent of the orders
required customer callbacks,
compared to only 5 percent at A&D’s primary competitor.
In 1999 A&D implemented its first enterprise resource planning
(ERP) system, using
software from J. D. Edwards. A&D opted to use J. D. Edwards
primarily because its software
could be customized to handle the thousands of parts that A&D
used for production. The
customization required many outside consultants to design and
build the system, and since they
8. left soon after the system was implemented there were some
concerns that the system might be
difficult to maintain. Even so, the project was deemed a
success: after ERP was up and running,
customer callbacks were reduced to less than 1 percent of
orders.
In 2001, given the successful implementation of ERP, A&D
decided to further invest to
improve its systems in handling the supply chain, payment
process, customer relationship
management (CRM), and order management. A series of
technology initiatives was launched.
A&D saw immediate benefits in reduced costs, as well as a
significant return on investment on its
supply chain and data warehousing projects.
Business Case
In 2002, faced with tough competition and decreasing margins,
A&D decided to explore new
segments of the market for growth. In particular, it focused on
sales via the Internet. Historically,
A&D was shy to adopt the Internet as a sales channel because it
did not seem to play to the
company’s sales strength of friendliness and customer service.
However, since A&D’s products
were approaching commodity status, the product cost was
largely the determining factor for a
customer. Furthermore, competitors had successfully increased
their revenues and recognized
cost savings in selling, general, and administrative expenses
(SG&A) per order after starting to
sell through the Internet.

KELLOGG SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT 3
So in early 2002, Ted Walter and vice president of sales Jeff
White gave the go-ahead to CIO
Webb to begin the project to create an online store.
One of the first decisions Webb faced was “build vs. buy.” A
custom-developed program
would allow A&D the opportunity to build exactly what it
needed, whereas a commercial
application might not meet all of the requirements. For example,
the commercial off-the-shelf
(COTS) software might not have the formats, input processes,
reporting capabilities, and other
elements needed to make the program work well for A&D.
Moreover, buying off the shelf might
require A&D to purchase functionality it did not need and
would not use.
On the other hand, Webb realized that a commercial application
could potentially cost much
less than a custom application. However, this was not always
the case, especially if the
commercial application required more than 10 percent custom
modifications to meet all the
requirements.
Webb knew that the key questions in the build vs. buy decision
10. were:
-house for project
management, software development,
hardware support, and long-term maintenance?
ew application
would automate?
functionality that it did not need
and would not use?
In his analysis, Webb listed some key determiners that pointed
toward the “build” decision:
nd costs of purchasing software increased as
the need to customize a
package increased.
weapon and a point of
differentiation, versus just trying to keep up.

custom-built software (versus
simply integrating multiple vendors) could be significant.
from a custom-built system.
-the-shelf package’s elements only met 60 percent of
A&D’s functional
requirements.
11. market but no single vendor
was a clear market leader.
After deliberating for a month with his top managers, Webb was
set on the “build” option.

Webb created a cross-functional team of six people to plan the
project based on his “build”
decision (see Exhibit 1). Led by Eric Robertson, a young but
bright IT project manager, the
team’s planning components included:

After four weeks, the team presented its findings to the steering
committee. A summary
outcome for each of the planning tasks is listed below.
B U S I N E S S R E Q U I R E M E N T S
The scope and business requirements of the online store
included new orders, add-on orders,
order amends, order status, and lead capture with the following
capabilities:
-time payment processing
back-end (ERP) for manufacturing and order
management
Senior management was adamant that the system incorporate
this set of minimum
functionality, since customers must have the same experience
13. across all sales channels. As Jeff
White put it:
Once an order has been made and it gets into [J. D.] Edwards, I
don’t see why we need
to distinguish whether the customer shopped in our stores or
made the order on the
phone or the Internet. We should serve them with the exact care
and quality that one
comes to expect from A&D.
P R O C E S S F L O W
The introduction of Internet sales would have little impact on
the current process at A&D,
since it simply served as a new front to its existing activities. In
fact, all existing activities would
remain the same. New activities to support Internet sales, such
as exception handling due to
system errors, would be added to the IT support procedures.

Since A&D carried a range of products that ran the Windows
2000 operating system, A&D
14. had standardized all custom applications to run on this platform.
The online store’s architecture
was N-tiered for greater flexibility and future scalability (see
Exhibit 2).
The first tier was the Web server layer. The Web server was the
Microsoft Internet
Information Server (IIS). Server side scripts were to be coded in
MS Application Server Pages
(ASP). The second tier was the application server layer. The
application server was the Microsoft
Transaction Server (MTS). The application components would
leverage Microsoft Site Server
and the Microsoft Site Server Commerce Edition components.
Databases to support the application were to run on Microsoft
SQL Server. The
communication tier was the middleware Microsoft Messaging
Queue (MSMQ). Through MSMQ,
the application would access J. D. Edwards. Other back-end
applications and databases existed
but would not be interfaced by the online store. All software
licenses were already in-house, so
Robertson did not expect to incur any expenses from procuring
software.
P H Y S I C A L I N F R A S T R U C T U R E
A&D’s physical infrastructure was planned to be fairly typical
for a company that conducted
commerce over the Internet. For security, two firewalls were set
up with a demilitarized zone
(DMZ) in between (see Exhibit 3). Situated in the DMZ were
servers that were accessible by the
Internet and by A&D’s partners. Behind the second firewall was
A&D’s internal network, or
15. intranet. The servers behind this second firewall were only
accessible in the intranet. Robertson’s
team estimated that they would need twelve Windows 2000
workstations (at $3,000 each) and
five Windows 2000 servers (at $12,500 each) for the project.
P R O T O T Y P E
A prototype, consisting of static HTML pages, was built by
Robertson’s team to demonstrate
a user interface and general flow of the application. Exhibit 4
shows a screen print of the order
confirmation page. The prototype was approved by the vice
presidents of sales and marketing,
and would serve as a basis for the actual application’s
appearance and functionality.
P R O J E C T W B S
Robertson’s team created a complete WBS that detailed all the
tasks that needed to be
performed for the project as of May 26, 2003. See Exhibit 5 for
the complete WBS.
T A S K E S T I M A T E S
Estimates were created for each task as part of the planning
effort. Robertson’s team had
some experience in IT project estimating, so they were fairly
confident that the total project
estimate would be close to the actuals. See Exhibit 6 for listing
of the estimates for each task.
P R O J E C T R E S O U R C E S
All the resources for the project had been identified except for
16. the software developers. For
A&D in-house developers, a flat rate of $75/hour was
traditionally used for estimating purposes.
But since there were no developers available internally,
Robertson had solicited a contracting

company, Geneva, to staff these positions. For the contractors,
the rates varied depending on skill
level and their market value. Moreover, the overtime rates for
contractors were different from the
A&D standard rate. (Overtime was defined to be more than
eight hours of work in a day.)
By May, Geneva was still identifying the actual resources
needed, but had provided the
resources’ rates so that Robertson could prepare the estimates.
See Exhibit 7 for a list of the
resources and their appropriate rates. Robertson’s team also
examined the tasks and made
assignments accordingly. See Exhibit 8 for the resource
assignments.
P R O J E C T S C H E D U L I N G
As a final step in preparing for the project plan, Robertson
17. scheduled all the tasks by adding
dependencies (or predecessors) and calculating the leveling
delay required to properly allocate all
the resources. See Exhibit 9 for the schedule.1
Review Meeting
When Johnson walked into the conference room fifteen minutes
before the start of his
meeting with A&D’s senior managers to discuss the online store
project, he found Webb and
Robertson already there. As the other attendees filed into the
room, Robertson was sorting
through a stack of papers, giving a set to each of them. Jeff
White, the vice president of sales, and
Chuck Gagler, the vice president of e-commerce, arrived just as
Webb was ready to start the
meeting.
Webb outlined the purpose of the meeting, which was to
facilitate the effective transition
between Robertson and Johnson, as well as to update senior
managers on the project’s status. As
Robertson was going through the details of the work that had
been performed by his team,
Johnson began to feel more at ease. He recognized that
Robertson had done well in gathering all
the relevant data to create a good project plan. Despite the
challenge to quickly overcome the
learning curve of a new project, Johnson felt more comfortable
that he could come up with a
detailed recommendation along with strong facts and potential
issues.
As the meeting ended, Webb pulled Johnson aside and told him,
“I know I may be asking a
18. lot here, but I really need you to get the plan together in the
next week. Walter really wants to
know if we can get this thing done by Christmas.”
1 The predecessors were identified using a Task ID. This was
different from the WBS ID.
