Reflection on Proposal

The reason why our proposal is feasible is because the money that would be used to continue using the old outdated system server could be used to fund the new server. Additional money could come from other outside sources that implement the server.

The decision maker for the problem outlined in the proposal is Sam Segran. He is the Associate Vice President for the Office of the CIO with TTU. He is the boss man and the one who can accept or reject our proposal.

The collaboration of the group helped with the progress of this assignment. There happened to be times when things went slow but overall we got a lot done. It helped to be in a group because there was a lot to do and with the group we could help each other out.

Our process for developing, researching and drafting this proposal was a not so difficult one. First, we came up with a plan for our proposal and a problem. After that we decided to conduct surveys and interviews to collect our research. After all our research was collected we started to meet 4 or 5 times a week either in class or at the library. During these times we divided up tasks while steadily completing all of the requirements.

My part in the proposal was a very significant one. I collected 16 surveys from random people, interviewed Linda Ricks who is the Managing Director-Information Systems for TTU, identified some problems and a solution. I created the timeline, project schedule and graphs. Other tasks I helped with were the scope, methods and qualifications.

The goals that I conquered for this proposal were collaborating with communication projects and solving problems and improving situations thru communication. I had to effectively work with my teammates to successfully master this communication project. During the process of this assignment we had to solve our problems and to also improve the situation by using our communication skills.
