問 4
- ア
正解 An information system strategy is a higher-level plan that sets the company-wide, medium-to-long-term direction of computerization in a way consistent with the management strategy. What should be shown here is a management-level policy that sits one level above individual system development or procurement, and the policy for IT governance (that is, how to make the framework for controlling IT use and making decisions actually work) is exactly this kind of item to be explicitly stated at the strategy level. Therefore the correct answer is ア.
Incorrectイ
The development structure for the core system is a practical matter decided at the stage of actually building an individual system (development planning, project planning) after receiving the strategy; it is not something to be explicitly stated in the information system strategy, which shows company-wide policy.
Incorrectウ
The evaluation criteria for vendor proposals are a concrete yardstick used for selection at the procurement stage (issuing an RFP, requesting proposals); they belong to the procurement and implementation level rather than the strategy level, so they are not appropriate.
Incorrectエ
The analysis results of users' requirements are a deliverable compiled at the requirements definition stage of an individual system; they are a deliverable of a downstream process, not the higher-level policy shown by the strategy, so they do not apply.
- The information system strategy is a company-wide, medium-to-long-term higher-level plan consistent with the management strategy, and what should be explicitly stated is management-level policy (for example, the policy for IT governance).
- Items such as the development structure, procurement evaluation criteria, and requirements analysis results belong to downstream processes that follow the strategy (development, procurement, requirements definition), and should be distinguished from items to be explicitly stated at the strategy level.
