Final Project Milestone

For this milestone you will submit a complete a strategic outcomes document that synthesizes the information from the first two milestones.

Develop the strategic outcomes that are aligned to the conclusions from your SWOT analysis in order to mitigate threats, strengthen weak areas, and capitalize on organizational strengths and opportunities.

In addition, your document should map back to the mission and vision statements of the organization and should model best practices in IT governance supported by the standards and regulations of your organization's industry.

Additional legal and regulatory implications, as they pertain to the acquisition, implementation, and general use of information technology, should also be addressed.

The following critical elements will be addressed in this submission:

Strategic Outcomes: You will craft strategic outcomes for your department or subgroup that, as a set of outcomes, adhere to the following:

A. SWOT: Your strategic outcomes should represent your conclusions from the SWOT. In other words, the outcomes you create should be aligned with identified strengths and opportunities of the organization and address identified weaknesses and threats.

B. Vision, Mission, Values: Your outcomes should align to the values of the organization and the IT values of your own department, as well as with the vision you articulated for your group and the mission statement you crafted.

C. Ethics and Law: Outcomes should also model best practices in IT governance, as supported by external and internal IT standards.

Guidelines for Submission: The strategic outcomes paper should follow these guidelines: two to three pages in length, double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, APA format, and a minimum of two sources.
