Activity: Recommend a System Solution
- Roles
- The activity is facilitated by the project manager.
- System owner roles:
- executive sponsor - As the final spending authority, the sponsor must approve recommendations and project continuation.
- user managers - The system belongs to these managers; therefore, their input is crucial.
- system managers - Systems managers commit information services resources to projects; therefore, they need to be made aware of any scope, schedule, or budget changes for the project.
- steering body - many organizations require that all system proposals be formally presented to a steering body (sometimes called a steering committee) for final approval.
