Exercise 3

Harold would like you to prepare a draft letter to Linda Seth that
[a] Describes deficiencies in the Collins Harp IT system development and program change process.
[b] Provides a brief description explaining your primary concern for each deficiency noted in part [a].
[c] Includes a recommendation of an IT system development control that could be implemented to minimize your concern for each deficiency described in part [a].
Remember you are writing to Linda Seth at Collins Harp. Therefore, prepare your response in a letter (not memo) format. Be sure to be professional in your response. You want to pinpoint obvious deficiencies without being offensive, given that Collins Harp could become a new client.
As an alternative to preparing a draft letter, your instructor may ask you to complete the worksheet on the following page (Note: You can download an electronic version of the worksheet at www.pearsonhighered.com/beasley).
