Assignment 2: The Presentation
Due Week 10 and worth 200 points
Congratulations. Your project has been staffed and you are
about to meet with the team for the first time.
Initial impressions are important and you’ll need visuals for
your presentation. Create a slide show (in
PowerPoint or similar software) in which you address the
following, in this order:
1. Goals: What the project hopes to accomplish.
2. Critical Success Factors: Identify at least 4 different
stakeholders; for each, list at least 2 things
that the stakeholder requires in order to deem the project
successful.
3. Acquisition strategy: Should the system be built in-house,
created by a contractor, purchased off-
the-shelf and customized, or leased as a service? Explain your

5. rationale.
4. Resources: For in-house development, what people/skills are
required and what development
lifecycle do you recommend? Otherwise, identify 3 candidate
organizations that can deliver the
system.
5. System functions: In a table format, summarize the types of
users for the system; the business
reason(s) each would use the system; the ways that the system
supports each of these needs;
and how this support differs from the current system.
6. Connectivity: Provide a diagram that shows how the system
will connect to the other information
systems and what data flows among them.
7. Security: List the most serious cybersecurity threats and
vulnerabilities of the new system.
Suggest strategies to address them.
8. Mobility: Identify the system’s capabilities for mobile use.
Include a title and summary slide. Use one slide for each of the
8 points above. Include speaker notes or
audio narration that explains each slide more fully.

6. Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality,
logic / organization of the paper, and
language and writing skills, using the following rubric.
