Write a 4- to 5-page paper, prioritizing the IT project portfolio. This is an opportunity for you to be creative in this assignment.

Identify the IT projects for a real or made up company of your choice. You can draw on your past experience or create your own projects. Pick 3 to 5 projects so that you can compare projects described in the assignment. The paper must evaluate each identified project against the following criteria:

• The project drives or creates more revenue for the corporation.
• The project cuts the cost of doing business.
• The project is mandated by laws (federal, state, county, or local) or executive orders.
• The competitor has undertaken a similar project.

Develop a scoring system by weighting each criterion. In some IT projects, all may apply. Provide your analysis by observing how you evaluate each project in comparison to how the target organization evaluates each project.

Assignment 2.1: Justification Report – Part 1

Due Week 3 and worth 150 points

In Assignments 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3, you will be building up a formal, researched justification report (one part at a time) that culminates in a recommendation to implement a particular product, service, or program in your place of employment. This recommended product, service, or program should resolve a problem that you identify in your workplace and should be directed to your employer (even if you do not actually plan to share it with your employer).

Use the basic outline below to draft Assignment 2. Organize your responses to each question under the following section headings:

• Problem Statement (for Question 1)
• Overview of Alternatives (for Question 2)
• Criteria (for Question 3)
• Methods (for Question 4)

Using the provided template, write Part 1 of a single-spaced report in which you:

1. Discuss in detail a problem at work, persuading and convincing the reader that it needs fixing.
2. Provide a detailed description of two (2) possible solutions (“alternatives”) that could be implemented to resolve the problem identified in Question 1.
3. List and detail five (5) criteria that you will use to measure the worth of each alternative in Question 2. Note: The alternative that satisfies the most criteria to the highest degree will be the one you recommend later to your employer (in Assignment 2.3). Criteria are standards that the audience values and are therefore used to measure the worth of each alternative (common examples include cost, desirability, durability, efficiency, time it will take to implement, and practicality).
4. Describe in detail how you will conduct the research needed to determine the best alternative to recommend to your employer. Note: This is a one to two (1-2) paragraph description of what research needs to be completed in order to evaluate the alternatives. This is not a detailed procedure for solving the problem.

Your assignment must:

• Be typed, single spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, your name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

As a change agent, the consultant plays many roles, discovers problems and challenges, collects data, provides feedback to the client, and often assists with implementation. Broadly, the consultant’s role would be that of an expert, a pair-of-hands, and a collaborator. How a consultant handles responsibilities in these roles dramatically impacts the probability of a successful intervention.

Review your prescribed text and articles related to the roles of a consultant and review any experience you have had in the role of a change agent. Keeping these in mind, discuss the following:

1. How would you differentiate between the roles of an expert, a pair-of-hands, and a collaborator?
2. What do you perceive to be the accountability issues associated with each role?
3. Which role would best help you become a successful change agent? Which role do you think you are best equipped to play? Give reasons for your choice.
4. Assuming a consultant should be prepared to take up all the roles depending on a client’s needs, explain what you can do to improve your performance in
