Term Paper Milestone 1

Your term paper pertains to finding and documenting an IT success or failure situation. Search the internet, library, and other resources (e.g. WSJ, NY Times, CIO.com, among others) for grand IT successes or fiascos. Alternatively, you may have a story to share from where you work, and you don't have to share the company's name to ensure confidentiality.

For milestone 1, submit 3 options of possible cases that you want to write your term paper. In my feedback, I will allocate one of the three.

Deadline is April 1 midnight. Late submissions are not accepted.

Your submission should be a Word file structured as follows:

Page 1: Title with your name

Page 2: Present your options

Option 1: .... In 1 or 2 sentences, describe what the case is about (i.e., what happened?) Option 2: .... In 1 or 2 sentences, describe what the case is about (i.e., what happened?) Option 3: .... In 1 or 2 sentences, describe what the case is about (i.e., what happened?)
