An IT Strategic Plan must have a direction and a path for its near and mid-term future. In this assignment, you will be using the Time Horizon Worksheet developed in Week One to plot out and schedule major IT initiatives over the next three years using the ISM645 Acme Full Strategic Plan as reference. The Acme Plan is a Plan for the entire company, not just an IT Plan. You will need to determine the major IT projects that are derived from the company’s planned directions. Remember, not every project begins on January 1st. In addition, you will plan IT major projects over a one-, two-, and three-year time frame along with the needed organization to accomplish it.

• Explain the outsourcing of major projects.
• Identify the use of in-house personnel.

• Describe roles (job descriptions) for each major project.
• Explain organizational changes that might be needed to accomplish the plan for each year.
• Estimate preparation time
