Module 1 CM When you''ve read through the article, looked at the presentation and been around the Wiki enough to get a sense of the opinions current there, please compose a short (ca. 3 - 5 page) paper on the topic: "Are systems design methodologies getting better/more effective, and if so, better according to what and/or whose criteria? Why or why not?" In preparing your paper, you may wish to think about such issues as: • What is a systems design methodology, anyway? And who cares about it? Are there a limited number of clearly competing camps/approaches/visions, or is it a general free-for-all? • Does it matter to the IT manager who is not a systems designer him/herself what sort of methodology her/his design people want to use? Why? • Is "failure" the natural condition of information systems? What''s the relative value of "failure" and "success" in systems design to the organization? • Where is the field of systems and software design going? What sorts of visions will it be pursuing in the coming years? • What''s the value, if any, in looking to an opinion resource like the Wiki for help in understanding a phenomenon like systems design?
