Discuss SIX challenges likely to be encountered in the development of an organisation’s Management Information System.

The challenges that may be encountered in the development of a Management Information System (MIS) include:

  1. Unclear Requirements:
    Incomplete or vague requirements lead to changes during development, increasing the project’s complexity and delivery time.
  2. Increasing Costs:
    Unexpected changes and extended timelines can cause cost overruns, making the system less financially viable.
  3. Delayed Project Delivery:
    Unforeseen operational challenges, including technical or functional issues, can result in significant delays in the system’s rollout.
  4. Security Concerns:
    As cyber threats increase, ensuring that the system remains secure against attacks and unauthorized access is a major concern during development.
  5. Integration Issues:
    Difficulties in integrating the new system with existing legacy systems can disrupt operations and complicate the transition process.
  6. User Adoption:
    Employees may resist using the new system due to lack of training or fear of change, which can hinder the system’s success and effectiveness.
