(2) Planning of computerization

Planning of computerization refers to the creation of a specific schedule for the implementation (or development) of an information system in consideration of consistency with the total optimization plan.

The procedure from creation to approval of “planning of computerization” is as below.

In the computerization planning, a computerization plan and a project plan are created as deliverables.

Plan name	Details
Computerization plan	Prerequisites concerning basic requirements such as the development, operation, maintenance person-hours, cost, schedule and environmental improvement, education and training (i.e., staff training plan), and quality for the system to be made in reality
Project plan	The required organization, resources, activity items (including activity items to be outsourced), schedule, and so on, for system development, operation, and maintenance

In the planning of computerization, an individual computerization plan is made for each individual information system according to the total computerization plan.

• • In “Confirmation of the basic requirements for computerization planning,” the
  prerequisites of a computerization plan are confirmed, which include objectives, means,

staff, period, delivery date, facility, cost, activity allocation, and division of responsibility.

• • In “Confirmation of the details of business operations in the scope” and “Definition of
  system issues for business operations in the scope,” the operations in the scope that were specified in the planning of computerization initiative are confirmed, and the system application scope is defined. If a system is actually operated for the business operation in the scope, the relations between the system in the scope, the business operations in the scope, and other related systems are identified.
• • In “Creation of business operations model,” reconfiguration of business operations
  functions is performed, and the business operations functions and organization are modeled. In the creation of a business operations model that models the overall image for business operations, the business process is defined, data classes are defined, the business model is defined/analyzed, and review/decision making are performed.
• • In “Determination of basic policy concerning service level and quality,” the service
  levels such as the reliability, performance, and security demanded of the system are clearly determined, and the basic requirements concerning the system quality and quality management structure on the basis of these are clearly determined.
• • In “Setting of project goal,” the project (i.e., business and business operations that are
  launched at irregular intervals in order to resolve a specific problem or achieve a specific goal) for the actual implementation (or development) of the information system is clearly specified, and target values and priorities are set for the quality, cost, and delivery date that are used as the basis for the project implementation.
• • In “Overall scheduling of development,” a broad outline for the implementation (or
  development) schedule for the overall system is decided. If a computerization plan is split into multiple projects, a schedule is created for each project.
• • In “Estimate of cost and system investment effect,” estimates are made for the
  development/operation/maintenance period, framework, and person-hours of the system, and quantitative/qualitative estimates are made for the cost and the effect. Since the cost and the effect are estimated by using the system life cycle (i.e., plan, development, operation, maintenance), it is necessary to clearly specify the conditions that determine the system life. · 3 questions

It is also necessary to analyze and evaluate the risks that are caused by the implementation of a new system with information system implementation risk analysis.
