When Do Information Services Projects Belong on the IT Side?
Jinfo Article
24th February 2016
By Tim Barlow
Abstract
Tim Barlow discusses where the border should be drawn between the work of the information services (IS) and information technology (IT) teams. His experience is that "mission creep" on IT-related projects can be a problem in the IS team. He outlines a series of recommendations for ensuring tasks don't fall beyond the technical ability or strategic scope of the IS team and how to identify what should be carried out by IT colleagues.
