For this course, you will research the implementation of an information technology system and prepare a comprehensive, final Capstone paper of your findings. You will research a real company, identify a business problem that can be solved with a new information technology system, propose the use of a new system for the business, establish a business case for the change, and justify the implementation of the new system based on your research.

You will develop your project throughout the course through the following Capstone Milestone submissions:

Topic Approval $($due in Module $1)$

Proposal $($due in Module $2)$

Business Case $($due in Module $4)$

New System $($due in Module $6)$

Final Capstone Project $($due in Module $8)$

Be sure to carefully review the submission requirements for each milestone in the module in which it is assigned. While each Capstone Milestone will be worth points, the final submission due in Module $8$ will be a compilation of the all the submissions from Modules $2-6$ and will constitute a significant percentage of the course point total. $($See the syllabus for details.$)$

Final Capstone Project Submission

In this module you will finalize your project, integrate the feedback provided by your instructor in previous modules, and incorporate ethical and legal standards as well as implementation tasks. Be sure to include an introduction and a conclusion for your final submission.

Your final Capstone Project should be $10-15$ pages in length and conform to APA guidelines in the CSU Global Writing CenterLinks to an external site.. Organize your project with headings for each of the required sections $$ Proposal, Business Case, New System, Ethical and Legal Standards, and implementation Tasks $$ and include subheadings for each section as appropriate. Support the project at least seven scholarly references in addition to the course textbooks. The CSU Global Library is a good place to find these references.
