7) Guidelines:
Take a look at IT Management Books, not IT Project management books for different case studies to provide you with ideas. Other books for the course Strategic Management may also have mini cases which may be useful. For example, you may look at the following book for this purpose-
Efraim Turban and Linda Volonino. (2011). Information Technology for Management: Improving Strategic and Operational Performance, the 8th Edition. Hoboken, N. J.: Wiley.
4. Also look at the following book which is listed as a reference book- Chapter 3 outlines developing a business case with an example of a developed business case-
Schwalbe, K. (2007). Information technology project management (5th ed.). Cambridge, MA: Course Technology. ISBN: 9781423901457
5. DO NOT COPY ANY PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN FROM ANYWHERE, CAN ONLY SEE AND GET IDEAS TO CREATE YOUR OWN.
6. You are required to use the Microsoft (MS) Project for several issues in the PMP-
