Mr. Art Pang is the Accounts Receivables manager. We have been assigned to gather the system requirements for a new billing system, and we need to solicit facts from his subordinates. Mr. Pang has expressed his concern that, although he wishes to support us in your fact-finding efforts, his people are extremely busy and must get their jobs done.
1. Describe a fact-finding strategy with rationale, that we could follow to maximize your fact-finding while minimizing the time required from his subordinates.
2. Once we have gathered the requirements, they must be recorded. What techniques would we use to capture the requirements for the new billing system? Explain your rationale.
After reading the case presented in the module, write a short response to the following discussion questions and ethical decision making scenario.
Discussion Questions
Before the discussion at the start of this chapter, how do Fred, Gladys, and Charlie each perceive the scope and scale of the new information security effort? Did Fred’s perception change after that?
How should Fred measure success when he evaluates Gladys’ performance for this project? How should he evaluate Charlie’s performance?
Which of the threats discussed in this chapter should receive Charlie’s attention early in his planning process?
Back at Attaway Airlines, the morning meeting ended with no agreement between the VP of finance and the marketing manager. In fact, a new issue arose. The VP now says that the new accounting system is entitled to the highest priority because the federal government soon will require the reporting of certain types of company-paid health insurance premiums.
Because the current system will not handle this report, the VP insists that the entire accounting system is a nondiscretionary project. As you might expect, the marketing manager is upset. Can part of a project be nondiscretionary? What issues need to be discussed? The committee meets again tomorrow, and the members will look to you, as the IT director, for guidance.

- Ethical Decision Making Suppose Amy Windahl left the kickoff meeting with a list of over 200 assets that needed to be evaluated. When she looked at the amount of effort needed to finish assessing the asst value and their risk evaluations, she decided to "fudge" the numbers so that she could attend a concert and then spend the weekend with her friends. In the hour just before the meeting, in which the data was due, she made up some values without much consideration beyond filling in the blanks. Is Amy's approach to her assignment ethical?
