final meeting with molly

Ok. You need to get ready for your final meeting with Molly, your boss. The night before your meeting you go back through all of your notes. You look at your summaries to each of the interviews and you look at your Pro and Con lists. Now you need to make a decision as to what approach (or approaches) you are going to bring to Molly.

Yes, you can bring more than one approach. But you need a number one approach that is your main recommendation. But you should give Molly some options since some of the approaches that have been discussed here might not be feasible. For example if Molly isn't able to get any IT support higher than a medium overhead requirement then the two of you might have to agree upon another approach.

For this lesson there is no single one answer is correct. It really comes down to a number of the factors that has been displayed during your review of the case studies. You just need to be able to explain to Molly what your recommendation is and why you choose that approach.

Another key factor here is that if this were a real-world situation you might have to do additional research and you might have to go back and do some more interviews with the people to help you understand a little more about some of the comments that were made earlier. Now that you have had time to digest what was said and you've seen both positive and negative outcomes that people have experienced you might have other questions for people.

As a final project for this lesson write up your approach(s) and your reasons why you are making these recommendations. The document should follow the document preparation rules outlined in your syllabus (e.g., MS-Word 2000 or newer readable format, ADA conformance, double spaced). Upload your final document to your shared folder on the web site as you have done for your previous lessons.

And now you can go to the lesson summary.
