In-class post, 27/10/2006
Well today we determined the placings of the different groups, my group is in position 10, therefore we will have our presentation on Thursday, at 10am in room 113 ...so hopefully we should be ready.
Well on to the main topics at hand...
We're continuing on with the discussion of the Systems Development Life Cycle...(partial)
It goes in the following method: Requirements Analysis->Design->Implementation and Testing
He sidetracked for a bit, with some discussion about the smelter plant...there are benefits to the plant, but the costs incurred are another thing....
When it comes to designing an Information System (or any type of project for that matter), the design of the system becomes of vital importance. Due to the risk in cost involved for the implementation of an IS, it is then imperative that a design is present, because if the IS does not deliver on its planned objectives, then it ends up being a severe financial drain on the company.
One cause for a project failing is when a company fails to have appropriate individuals appointed to make decisions for the project itself, since they may not fully understand how the system is exactly implemented, and may leave out important factors.
We then went into some discussion about the I.T. system within UWI itself, and some of the issues involved with implementing any sort of new systems within the campus, which can put us closer to being on par with international universities.
Well we're done...so now I can go home!!!*does happy dance and runs off...*

Very interseting reading and always on the ball. Yes if no consultation is done and the SDLC ignored, then IT failure is highly likely to result. The happy dance........ very amusing.
