Need help with the attached question in project management. Thanks
Â
Project ManagementAComputerworldinvestigation reported that delays in overhauling the federal tax systemhave cost the U.S. government approximately $50 billion a year in uncollected taxes.Although the IRS has spent hundreds of millions of dollars in an attempt to modernize itscomputer systems, critics claim that much of that money has been wasted because ofmismanagement and primitive development practices. Government and private groupsbelieve that there are several reasons for the problems:1.Failure to redesign the business processes before beginning systems development2.No overall systems architecture or development plan3.Primitive and sometimes "Chaotic" software development methodologies4.Failure to manage information systems as investments5.Lack of information securityBoth Congress and the General Accounting Office have directed the IRS to carry out thefollowing recommendations:1.Put in place a rigorous process for selecting, prioritizing, controlling, andevaluating major information systems investments2.Improve system development practices from ad hoc to ones that can be repeatedand improve the likelihood of success.3.Develop organization-wide plans that focus on an integrated systems architecture,security, data architecture, and configuration management.Select one of the numbered or lettered items above, research the issue, and write and aconcise providing further commentary on the item you selected. Be sure to include acitation for the resource(s) you use in your research. NOT MORE THAN A PAGE
