Task 2: Strategies implemented by the Organization:
The organization has been associated with the SWOT analysis so as to make sure that
all the SWOT factor associated with the new project PMIS or the Project Management
Information System are being meet prior to the implementation.
Firstly, meetings were conducted for the purpose of addressing the various strategic
factors that are likely to have an impact upon the PMIS or is associated with the project.
While doing this the group was associated with the collection of the list of opportunities that
are relevant and are external in nature along with the various threat related factors (Li et al.
2016). This collection was done in accordance to the macroscopic and the microscopic level
of the project. This was followed by the examination of the internal strengths along with the
weakness of the organization. These internal strengths and the weaknesses might be
associated with the enhancement or hindering of the effective and efficient implementation of
the project proposed (Binder 2016). Doing this helped in the collection of 28 strategic factors
which were collated and grouped according the four constraints of the SWOT that is the
Strength, weakness, Opportunities and lastly the threats.
Analysis of the list of the swot factors were identified by making use of the hybrid
SWOT or AHP technique that was developed so as to establish the priority for each of the
factors. Pairwise comparison helped in the estimation of the priorities of the factors which are
included in the process of SWOT analysis (Ramkumar, Schoenherr and Jenamani 2016). RC
was associated with undertaking these comparisons by making use of the ratio scale. Expert
choice was used for the purpose of computing the eigenvalues. The relative along with the
global priorities were derived by making use of the AHP software.

The analysis helped in understanding the fact that the positive factors are
predominated by the various cumulative factors. PMIS diffusion strategy can be formulated
by making use of the dominant factors which are picked up.
After all this the diffusion strategy is used which helps in elaborating the significant
factors of the SWOT that were identified. The diffusion strategy is also responsible for
describing the facts that are going to benefit the organization as well as determine how the
assets of the organization and the processes are being affected by the new project that is to be
developed. Besides this it also helps in determination of the changes that are necessary for
taking full advantage of the capabilities that the PMIS project is having. This helped in
identifying the ten well-document predictors of the strategic IT or IS implementation (de
Carvalho, Patah and de Souza Bido 2015). This helped in addressing the process of analyzing
the benefits, processes and the changes that are required. This in turn would be associated
with facilitating the implementation of the IT along with encouraging the uptake of the IT by
different departments and staffs present in the organization. In the first step derivation of the
perceived benefits for the organizations were done from the PMIS and this was done against
the predictors. After this the strategy helped in the identification of the organizational assets
as well as the processes which are likely to be affected by the new PMIS project (Marchewka
2014). This was done for the purpose of assigning the responsibilities, increasing the
involvement of the user and utilizing the resources in a better way. In the last phase the
required changes were done so as to take full advantage of the PMIS project and these
changes are to be highlighted so as to ensure support of the management, minimizing the
resistance and maximizing the understanding of the user about the functional and the
technical features (Kaiser, El Arbi and Ahlemann 2015). This diffusion strategy is considered
to be instrumental for the purpose of mitigating the effects that the perceived threats are
