WORK SYSTEM

 The work system method is most effective when used to resolve a practical issue or investigate an opportunity within an organization. By stating a problem or an opportunity, we begin the process of utilizing the work system method. We then define the scope of the system’s analysis. Have you recently resolved a problem or pursued an opportunity? You might have such experience as an information technology developer or as a business user. Please use it as the experience for a work system analysis for this assignment, defining the scope and elements of the system as illustrated in Figure 2.1 and on pages 14-16. Additionally, you must create a snapshot of the identified work system. On page 17 of the textbook, you can find Figure 2.2 as a reference. Please prepare your report using the assignment template. Please double-check the work practice identified is accurate and consistent with other elements as indicated in italicized guidelines for internal consistency in Figure 4.3.
