Read through the Ridgeline Mountain Outfitters (RMO) case study in your textbook again, and provide your response to the following:

1. Describe briefly three factors each that can cause your identified system development project to succeed or fail.

For Reference, you need to Google "RMO CASE STUDY".

There you will see the PDF of the case study.

Or you can use this book for Reference - " Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing WorldBook by John W. Satzinger, Robert Jackson, and Stephen D. Burd "

Also RMO SYSTEM VISION DOCUMENT FOR REFERENCE -

As with all new projects within RMO, a System Vision Document is developed to identify the benefits to the company and the functional capabilities that will be included in the system. Frequently, this is done in two steps: developing a preliminary statement of benefits and then adding estimates of specific dollar costs and dollar benefits. Figure 1-5 is the System Vision Document for this project. As described earlier, RMO needs a portable system that can be used by its purchasing agents as they attend various product and clothing fabric trade shows. The system needs to fulfill two major requirements. First, it has to have the functionality to capture information about suppliers and products. Second, it needs to be able to communicate with the home office systems, and because these trade shows are held in various venues around the world, various methods of connectivity are needed. Preliminary investigation considered various equipment options, including laptop computers, iPad computing devices, and smartphones. Even though smartphones appeared to have the best connection options, the small size made viewing the details of photographs somewhat difficult; the iPad and other similar portable devices with advanced technology also appear to be viable options. However, due to the similarity of the smartphones and tablets, it seems feasible to develop an application that will execute on either device. Each purchasing agent could use his or her preferred device. Toward the end of the pre-project activities, a meeting is held involving all the key persons, including a representative of executive management. The decision is made to move ahead with the project and budget the necessary funds.
