best practices of IS/IT

Hello everyone!

Talking about best practices in IS/IT, it really took me quite sometime on how to organize my ideas or to come up with my essay (but gladly,i was able to sort it out,hehe ). Hmm, it was around 4 am when I woke up (hehe).

For me, here are some best practices of IS/IT

Proper planning. Everything we do, we plan. And so with IS/IT. Proper planning will help in guiding us what will happen next or what are the next steps. The decisions regarding scope definition, staff and resource usage and assessment expectations should be developed, and documented in a project plan. In planning, the team should also consider the security risks of the system. Planning also provides us goals to be achieved. Ask employees what would make their work efficient and effective. The team should know the business procedures/processes; this would ensure that the system follows the business procedures. In addition, the team should research the availability of the resources. The team should have a proper assessment on the cost of the project. The team should make sure that the software that they’ll be using in the project should suit the needs of the company. The team should have a time line on the implementation of the project. This will help the employees know or understand more the new application. Also, the success of any application is greatly dependent on the training provided by the company to the employees or the users of the application. The training given is very essential to ensure that the end-users are tuned in to, capable with Application enhancements (if there are new releases). Continuous learning also deals with the training needs of the staff. The project doesn’t end with the implementation part, but this should involve the monitoring and maintenance of the system.

To sum up everything, the success of an application depends on both parties namely: the project team and the company. Without the proper coordination and communication between the two, the system will be senseless.
