Submission By 11:59 PM AEST/AEDT Friday of Module 4.1 (week 7) Weighting 40% Total Marks 40 marks Context: The assessment suite in this subject is built on top of skills you are building in your learning activities. Although the learning activities do not carry any assessable weight by themselves, completing them and seeking input from your peers and the learning facilitator is essential for you to achieving a positive result in the subject. Before beginning this assessment, be sure that you have completed the learning activities in the modules one, two and three. Instructions: Read the feedback from the learning facilitator on your first assessment carefully. Fix any holes in your analysis and build a cache of external references if you fell short of the referencing requirement. With your (enhanced) first assessment as a starting point, use the identification of activities, sub-activities and linkages between them to formulate a solution plan for Latureae. Using the principles of agile, present a recommended systems blueprint to the Latureae management. If you make recommendations on specific systems, you should refer to external sources on how these have led other firms to significant efficiency improvements in the past. The solution plan should be appropriately justified and illustrate to management what the expected gains of implementing your solution would ideally be.  MIS500-Assign2 Page 2 of 3 There is no required format for the assessment. Students should use initiative and be sure to conform to the APA referencing style, making use of external sources as appropriate. Be sure to bookend your assignment with an introduction and conclusion as well as a list of references that make considerable use of the Torrens University library and databases. Submission Instructions: You are expected to begin this assessment when you begin the trimester, especially as you relate the learning activities (formative assessment) to this and the other (summative) assessments. Be sure to keep several drafts of your work as well as your notes and any sources you used to draw on in preparing it. Extensions will be considered only in extenuating circumstances where the student has applied before the due date. At that point, students are required to provide the latest draft, in case the extension is not granted. Students are responsible for keeping appropriate back-ups and drafts of their assignments and to submit the correct version. Torrens University Australia policies apply to the preparation and submission of this assignment.  MIS500-Assign2 Page 3 of 3 Learning Rubric: Assessment Two Assessment Criteria Fail (Unacceptable) 0-49% Pass (Functional) 50-64% Credit (Proficient) 65-74% Distinction (Advanced) 75 -84% High Distinction (Exceptional) 85-100% Solution Plan Presented to Management 30% The focus for this criterion cannot be seen in the assignment.
