A significant problem that many criminal justice agencies face when implementing an information system is Scope Creep.

As time passes, agencies develop new requirements that the existing system is not capable of supporting. It is not uncommon for agencies to implement standalone systems to address the new requirements. These standalone systems are known as:

The textbook discusses in detail reporting levels of system errors during system implementation. A software error that does bring down the entire system and there are no ways around the problem is known as a:

Not meeting end-user's needs occurs for many reasons. The most prevalent reason is:

Implementing a new RMS system can occur in a relatively short period of time.

Most criminal justice agencies will begin the process of procuring a computer system through the development of a:

The development of a realistic implementation plan must be part of the:

Test plans and procedures should be developed at:

The purpose of a Gantt Chart in the implementation of an information system is to.

Desired changes or desired additions to a project that are not specifically required for the success of the project are the types of scope changes that need to be avoided.

When replacing and existing system hiring a change management expert can make the transition work smoothly.

When implementing a new computer system establishing appropriate end-user expectations is critical.

The executive manager has to take a day-to-day role in the project.

When a new system is implemented vendors prefer to provide the necessary training through:

One of the major differences between criminal justice information systems and information systems in other environments is that most of the criminal justice software suppliers support User Groups. User Groups provide the following:

Once an information systems project is underway it is important for the project manager to control:

In implementing a system it is not necessary to ensure a plan is followed closely.

Upon the completion of the system implementation, a:

The problem with train-the-trainer, however, is that often a loss of information occurs between the time that the trainer receives training and the time that they begin training the end-user.
