Tegan/Hrad

Tegan/Hrad write up

Posted on: Sunday, April 8, 2012

We obviously have something a little different this time around- we see an outsourcing/offshoring partnership from the standpoint of each of the participants…

1.Was outsourcing the A/P project the right move for Tegan given the other possible alternatives?
2.What are the tradeoffs involved in having the requirements analysis for a project performed by one of the firms that would ultimately bid on the project?
3.Given our journeys through the world of system development methods in recent lectures, discuss the choice of development methodology employed by Hrad Technika.
4.Why did Hrad Technika, the firm that performed the requirements analysis, have scope and requirements problems once the project commenced?
5.The case writers state: “Sadly, Smith knew that “Leadership” and “Commitment”, the paucity of which was blamed for untold IT failures were not the problems here.” Critique- do you agree? What do you see as the most important IT management failures here?
6.Which of the options for moving forward that Tegan identified would you recommend?
