Abstract:
This annotated bibliography identifies and explores stages within five selected strategic information systems planning (SISP) methodologies. Stages are compared to produce an extrapolated set of key stages for use by information technology managers and business managers to support business strategies and contribute to business value. Conclusions describe reasons for the need for SISP, strategic management planning (SMP) foundational concepts, the need for SISP/SMP strategic alignment, and key factors for SISP implementation and alignment success.
