what I learned...part1

In creating an IS plan, studying of its origin, evolution and its problems and how they should be addressed is a need.

Just this week that the reporting in our MIS subject started, there were 2 groups who did their discussions of their topics. It was about the evolution and problems of ISP and how they will be resolve. It was conversed how the ISP evolved from data processing to MIS to the development of ISP. The problems were not really determined and identified but the reporters presented how to evade and resolve problems that will arise. Alignment of the IS plan with the organizational plan, the design of an information System Architecture, the allocation of Development Resources and completion of Projects on time and according to budget are the ideas that were conveyed and elaborated by the reporters.

Such knowledge of the background of IS planning would help us in developing a good IS plan.
