1. What are the one or two most challenging issues in identifying and
documenting IT acquisition requirements (i.e., the requirements for
solving the problem that was defined)? Explain your reason(s) and how
the issue(s) can be successfully addressed.
ANSWER QUIZ 1: The one of the most challenging issues in identifying and documenting IT
acquisition requirements are ensuring that the requirements are comprehensive and accurate
understanding all the technical specifications. Ensuring that the requirements are
comprehensive and accurate is important because it helps to ensure that the system will meet
the user’s needs, while understanding all the technical specifications Is important because it
helps to ensure that the system can be implemented without any issues.
One way to address these challenges is to involve stakeholders in the process. Stakeholders are
people who have a vested interest in the success of the system, such as users, IT staff, and
executives. Involving stakeholders in the process allows for input from all sides on what the
requirements are properly addressed. Additionally, it can help to identify any potential issues
before they rise.
Another way to address these challenges is to use a requirement management tool.
Requirements management tool can help to ensure that all requirements are properly
documented and tracked, and that all requirements are aligned with the projects objectives.
These tools can also help to ensure that all stakeholders are aware of and agree to the
requirements.
2. Should it be permitted to add, delete, and change requirements after
they have been approved up to the time a contract has been signed
with a service provider? Should it even be possible to add, delete, and
change requirements during the subsequent project?
ANSWER QUIZ 2: If changes in the specifications are allowed and they probably should be, then
there should be a cost probably they will cost 1.5x-1.75x, or more, than had they been in the
specification, to begin with.
If the former, it’s pretty standard contract clause in such agreements to allow the service fees
to increase over time, with no notification being a change in what you are billed each month.
