Structured Systems Planning. (MIS Quarterly, 1981)
Authors: Abstract:
    Information systems planning is of growing interest to many MIS practitioners. This article postulates that one key element missing from most literature on systems planning is the transition from a strategic plan to an executable, operational plan. The article then describes the application of "structured" tools and methodology to assist in improving this transition task. The process and the examples explained in the article were taken from the author's experience in implementing them while at Oglethorpe Power Corporation in Atlanta, Georgia.
