Discussion Question:

Information systems development projects are considered as major investments for companies; therefore, they need to be managed effectively to maximize their expected return on investment and minimize their risks of failure. Consider yourself as a project manager (or leader) of an information systems development team, as well as a highly trained systems analyst who is well-versed with the systems development process and its set of required activities.

First, feel free to pick and briefly describe an information systems development project (real or imaginary) of your choice. Then, address the following discussion question.

How would you prioritize (i.e., order, based on importance) the ten knowledge areas of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) for the project you are the manager of? Justify your choices.
