IBM problem analysis document week 2

Weekly tasks or assignments (Individual or Group Projects) will be due by Monday and late submissions will be assigned a late penalty in accordance with the late penalty policy found in the syllabus. NOTE: All submission posting times are based on midnight Central Time.

One of the first tasks in the execution of an information technology project is to develop a plan for the project that will guide you through the steps in an organized and efficient manner. Projects without a plan are destined for failure, and the development of a good plan will be instrumental in the success of the project.

For this assignment, you will continue your work on the project with the development of a project plan. The plan will include details about the research methodology planned for the project. You will identify necessary hypotheses and provide details describing how research will be used in the project to identify causal factors for the problem identified in the first week. You will also develop a project time line and identify the required resources necessary for execution of the project.

The project deliverables are:

Update your Information Technology Problem Analysis document title page with a new date and project name.
Update the previously completed sections based on instructor feedback.
New Content: Project Plan
Research Methodology
