How does the IT environment contribute to the success or lack of success in systems development processes?
The IT department is absolutely critical in the development of a system. IT handles all the necessary components of the technology (hardware, software, and programming) in order for a business to function. In regards to project management, IT is another aspect which needs attention during systems development. For them to make the right codes, they need to have a clear vision/understanding of what is required but this can be difficult because IT people are often very technical and may not agree with the users on what a system should include. This disconnect can contribute to delays or even dissatisfaction with the system.
However, IT can be a source for success because of their expertise. IT can make improvements to the user's suggestions and make the system more efficient or add values in ways which were not considered during the requirements gathering phase.
