Study Notes
Digitalization Project Phases
- A digitalization project is structured into classic phases: Requirements Analysis, System Design, and Deployment.
- Emphasis is placed on comprehensive planning at the beginning to reduce changes during development.
Project Management Methodologies
- Three main project management philosophies: Waterfall, Agile, and Hybrid.
- Waterfall Project Management: Linear, step-by-step approach characterized by fixed phases - Initiation, Planning, Executing and Controlling, and Closing.
- Agile Project Management: Flexible, iterative approach common in IT, developed in the 1990s. Allows for adaptation to changing requirements.
- Hybrid Project Management: Combines elements of both Waterfall and Agile, tailored to specific project needs.
Requirements Analysis
- Aimed at determining optimal data elements, software and hardware needs, job skills, and rules for the new Enterprise Information System (EIS).
- Distinguishes between functional requirements (what the system must do) and non-functional requirements (qualities like performance and security).
Evaluating Systems Alternatives
- Assessment of current market solutions for data, software, and hardware that align with EIS requirements.
- Investigates ethical data acquisition, storage solutions, software capabilities, necessary customizations, and staff training for new job skills.
Business Process Modelling (BPMN)
- Business processes are sequences of activities aimed at specific outcomes, with no predetermined endpoints or detailed requirements.
- Message Flow: Shows information exchanges within processes, represented by a dashed line from sender to receiver.
- Association: Displays relationships of data or documents to activities, indicated by a dotted line.
- Pools and Swim Lanes: Pools represent entities involved in processes, while Swim Lanes delineate parties or departments within those entities.
Project Execution and Monitoring
- Successful project execution requires careful monitoring of progress and potential hazards.
- Key developments to track include document updates, system performance, communication effectiveness, data integrity, and security measures.
- Technical Debt: The accumulation of unfinished software development tasks from previous shortcuts, necessitating future work and potential system issues.
Challenges in Digitalization Projects
- Complexity increases in global organizations with multiple subsidiaries.
- Good planning and preparation are essential to address anticipated problems during digitalization efforts.
