You are an IT advisor to a JAD team that is studying a new inventory system. The proposed system will provide more information and faster updates, and automatically monitor fast- or slow-moving items. Some controversy exists about whether to use an on-site or off-site location for the JAD sessions.
1. How would you advise the project leader?
2. Who should be on the JAD team, and what would be their roles as team members?
3. The JAD project leader asked for advice about how to get the first session started. How would you reply?
4. You invited the senior vice president to the opening JAD session, but she says she is quite busy and might not be able to attend unless it is really important. What would you say to her?
