Study Notes
Information Systems Learning Unit 4
- The unit focuses on information systems (IS) planning, development, and operation for effective management
- The core components of LU4 include:
- Management Information Systems (MIS)
- Information Systems Planning (ISP)
- Information Systems Development (ISD)
- Information System Operation (ISO)
Basic Concepts
- Information systems represent the real world
- Data comes from users, organizations, and is managed based on when/where/what
- Data usage includes equipment, methodology, and human resources
- Information management is a crucial part of information systems management
- Information systems are composed of IT resources and other resources
Key Questions in MIS
- Information architecture & Data as a resource in organizations
- Strategic planning
- Human resources
- Organizational learning
- Technological infrastructure
- IS function positioning in organizations
- Competitive advantage
- Application development
- Telecommunication systems
MIS Project Scenarios
- Scenarios depict how clients, leaders, analysts, developers, and consultants see a project differently.
- Various scenarios show project documentation, functionalities, charges to customers, and actual customer needs.
Building Capabilities for Superior MIS
- Effective MIS requires a deep understanding of phases and correct settings/definitions
- Developing the right capabilities involves learning the phases and correct settings/definitions
MIS - Components
- MIS is made up of three activities/components
- Information Systems Planning (ISP)
- Information Systems Development (ISD)
- Information System Operation (ISO)
- Essentially, MIS manages information, system and IT adoption
ISP - Information Systems Planning
-
Three main components:
- Strategic Analysis
- Strategic Definition
- Strategic Implementation
-
Links organizational planning to IS integration, development, and operations
-
The main tasks of ISP deal with the integration aspects of the IS in the planning process
-
Questions tackled in ISP include current situations, future needs, and tasks to accomplish these needs
ISP Method, Project and Relationships
- Stages in the method include preliminary activities, formal study/preparation, data requirements/identification, and ISP Identification and form.
- The process is structured through the relationship between Strategic plan (SP) and ISP; involving services, communication, logistic/materials, finance, people and legal matters.
ISD - Information Systems Development
- Five main components:
- Systems analysis
- System design
- System building
- System implementation
- System maintenance
- ISD is a set of tasks involved in IS production that supports organizations and creates a competitive advantage
ISD Methodologies
- Key Methods include:
- PRINCE 2
- ITIL
- Six Sigma
- BPM
- RUP
- PMBOK/PMI
- SCRUM
- Kanban
- COBIT
- SSM
ISO - Information Systems Operation
- Four core components:
- Operating systems
- IT administration
- Special projects
- HR administration
- The ISO is responsible for operating IS resources. ISP and ISD are responsible for planning and development, respectively
MIS - Summary
- MIS involves planning, operation, and development
- The major components and processes involved in MIS are illustrated in a graphic.
Cartoon on IT Projects
- The cartoon illustrates the typical scenario of how different stakeholders involved in the project understand and perceive the project.
