Description

One of the first tasks in the execution of an information technology project is to develop a research plan for the project. Projects without a research plan are destined for failure, and the development of a good plan will be instrumental in the success of the project.

For this assignment, you will continue your work on the project with the development of a research plan. The plan will include details about the research and research methods planned for the project. You will identify necessary hypotheses – statements concerning what the problems are. Also describe how research will be used to identify or confirm causal factors for the problem(s) identified in the first week. Also describe how research will help determine what the solutions might be. You will discuss the resources that will be used to investigate the problem, possible causes, and solutions.

The project deliverables are:

· Update your Information Technology Problem Analysis document title page with a new date and project name.

· Update the previously completed sections based on instructor feedback.
