Study Notes

Project Governance and Management

  • Organizations must establish a framework and guidelines for project planning, execution, and monitoring during information system acquisition and development.
  • Project governance involves setting up a decision-making structure, defining roles and responsibilities, and establishing project execution standards.
  • Setting up steering committees, defining project charters, and ensuring stakeholder involvement are key components of project governance.

Business Case and Feasibility Analysis

  • A strong business case and thorough feasibility analysis are crucial before initiating an information system project.
  • The business case justifies the project's need by highlighting its potential benefits, associated costs, risks, and alignment with business objectives.
  • This includes a cost-benefit analysis, projected return on investment (ROI), and a value proposition.
  • Feasibility analysis examines whether the proposed solution is viable in terms of :
    • Technical feasibility: assesses the current technology's capacity to support the new system.
    • Economic feasibility: determines if the project's benefits outweigh its costs.
    • Operational feasibility: evaluates the organization's ability to adopt and use the new system.
    • Legal and Regulatory feasibility: ensures compliance with relevant laws, regulations, and standards.

System Development Methodologies

  • System development methodologies provide a structured approach for developing information systems. Methodology selection depends on project size, complexity, and specific requirements.
  • The Waterfall Model is a traditional, linear approach where each phase (requirements, design, implementation, testing, deployment) is completed sequentially. It is suitable for projects with well-defined requirements but lacks flexibility for changes.
  • Agile Methodologies are iterative and emphasize frequent feedback and adaptability to changes. Agile frameworks like Scrum, Kanban, and Extreme Programming (XP) prioritize collaboration between cross-functional teams and are ideal for projects with evolving requirements.
  • Rapid Application Development (RAD) emphasizes quick development and iterative feedback, utilizing prototypes and user involvement to refine system requirements.
  • DevOps combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops). It shortens the development lifecycle and ensures continuous delivery and integration.

Control Identification and Design

  • Control identification and design are fundamental to developing secure and reliable information systems.
  • Controls are mechanisms or policies that help safeguard information assets and ensure system integrity.
  • Access Controls define user roles, permissions, and authentication mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Input and Output Controls ensure data accuracy, completeness, and validity during input and output processes. Examples include validation checks, error-handling procedures, and secure data transmission methods.
  • Process Controls design processes to monitor system performance, manage system changes, and handle exceptions using audit trails, logs, and real-time monitoring.
  • Security Controls implement encryption, firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and other security measures to protect the system from external threats.
  • Compliance Controls ensure the system complies with internal policies, industry standards, and relevant regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, or PCI-DSS.
