Module1-Project+Voting

Vote here (put your initials after the name): Oh, so that's why! :-) KS **LG** (I would feel more comfortable with this one since I have no PSA experience at all, would be a nice one to get my feet wet with) AJ ** (I have much more experience similar to this scenario. However, since it appears I'm the very small minority, I'm willing to stretch into something different with Org. 1.)
 * ORG 1: GM ** (mostly because the second one is impossible to read!!)
 * KS ** (I think this topic is relevant to us & it might be a little bit easier to communicate wih Christie and Dr. Foxon, even though Dewi is one of our TA's) Okay- I looked back to the syllabus & Dewi is NOT our TA. Why does that name sound so familiar? Kendall, Dewi is a classmate!!
 * LB ** (I think the other topic is more interesting but I will go with the majority vote on this one.. I'm flexible)
 * ORG 2:

Does this mean we're in agreement for #1? (gm)

**Sounds like Org 1 is the winner!! (LB)**

OK to select our post on the class wiki? LG

Yes, I'm on board with Org 1, you'll hear no grumbling from me! AJ

Sounds good to me KS

IS Alumni Advisory Council Recruiting Committee—This committee is tasked to support recruiting efforts related to the IS Program. This committee is comprised of IS alumni along with the IS Recruiting Committee Chair and IS Recruiting Coordinator. To date, the processes and procedures related to recruiting have not been formalized at a systems level. Currently there are a number of “worth while” activities that are taking place, but there has not been any type of analysis performed to determine where things are at, and where thy need to go with specific interventions to bridge the gap. There have been some effort to simplify and correlate recruiting efforts among the stakeholder, but there is a need for more focus and also to determine the most important activities for success. The teams participating in this project will have the opportunity to meet with faculty, students, and staff members along with interactions with IS alumni. The results from this project have potential impact on strengthening the IS program as well as enhancing the perceived health of the program to outsiders and also university administration.

Most of the problems now deal with how to set up a working schedule within team's member that would meet the schedule which already given by the university. Another problem is related to the different level of skills within the team and among the teams that would affect the development process as well as the quality of the product. Managing the team members who are from different working units is also causing a problem in term of team communication and team coordination.
