Discuss ramifications of opposing objectives on the project

Reference no: EM13102915

Read the scenario below and answer the following questions:

You are working on an office automation project in the printing industry. The system to be developed is meant to support the work of journal editors. The management objective for this project is to save labour costs; the editors' objective is to improve the quality of their work.

In the development of this project you may opt for two strategies. The first strategy is to start a thorough analysis of the user requirements, after which the system is built according to these requirements. The second strategy starts with less complete requirement analysis phase, after which a pilot version is developed. This pilot version is installed in a few departments. Further development of the system is guided by the gained experience in working with the pilot version.

1.1 Discuss possible ramifications of these opposing objectives on the project. What would you do if you were the manager?

1.2 Critically outline the pros and cons of both strategies described above. Which strategy do you favour?Justify your answer with relevant theory.
