Explanation of Solution

Standish group:

  • Standish group is an independent international Information Technology(IT) research advisory firm established in 1985.
  • It was known for the reports about information systems projects in private and public sector.
  • This mainly focuses on mission-critical software applications, especially concentrating on failures and possible improvements in IT projects.
  • It has been constantly tracking the success rate of projects and even though there were improvements, the number of failed and challenged projects stands at 61%.

Explanation for incorrect options:

a. around 25%:

The Standish group has reported that the number of failed and challenged projects stands at 61%

Hence, the option “A” is wrong.

b. anywhere from 25% to 50%:

The Standish group has reported that the number of failed and challenged projects stands at 61%

Hence, the option “B” is wrong.

d. over 70%:

The Standish group has reported that the number of failed and challenged projects stands at 61%

Hence, the option “D” is wrong.

If an organization currently lacks the skills necessary to make a project technically feasible, how would you rectify the situation? Explain your answer.
Given the following information for a one-year IT project of Gulf Hospital System, answer the following questions. Recall that PV is the planned value, EV is the earned value, and AC is the actual cost. PV = $ 32,000 EV = $ 25,000 AC = $ 36,000   Calculate the cost variance, schedule variance, cost performance index (CPI), and schedule performance index (SPI) for the given project. Justify the results.
Scenario One: Assume you are put in charge of launching a new website for a local nonprofit organization. What costs would you need to account for? Make a list of expected costs and benefits for the project. You don’t need to list values, just sources of expense. Consider both one-time and recurring costs. Consider the situation you addressed in the previous question. Create numeric cost estimates for each of the costs you listed. Calculate the net present value and return on investment. Include a break-even analysis. Assume a 10 percent discount rate and a five-year time horizon. Scenario Two: Assuming monetary benefits of an information system at $85,000 per year, one-time costs of $75,000, recurring costs of $35,000 per year, a discount rate of 12 percent, and a five-year time horizon, calculate the net present value of these costs and benefits of an information system. Also calculate the overall return on investment of the project and then present a break-even analysis. At what…
