The assignment:
Objective:
To understand Information Technology breakdowns and their impact
Details:
In today is highly interconnected world, we take information systems and technology for granted. We realize the important role they play only when things go wrong or fail (i.e. breakdowns). To complete this assignment, you will be identifying two real-life examples of such breakdowns.
1. Example : Development phase:
First example should cover a breakdown that occurred during the system development phase.
During the development phase, common reasons for breakdown include inadequate understanding of what users want to constantly shifting preferences of users to inadequate testing or inadequate user-involvement during various stages of development. These breakdowns typically result in abandoned or suspended development efforts.
2. Example: Product-live phase:
Second example should cover a breakdown that occurred during or after the system was deployed/delivered to a client. During the product-live phase top reasons for breakdown include inadequate testing, misalignment in the IT and business strategy as well as inability in understanding issues of ethics, privacy, and security in the use of such systems.
Submission instructions:
1. Each example write-up should be between 150-200 words. Each example write-up should in part address following:
- Brief description of what happened
- What caused the breakdown?
- Impact of the breakdown
- What could be done to avoid repeating such breakdown in future?
2. Cite all your sources. Provide full citations (you can use any citation format).
