Requester
| - an individual staff or student
- a small group of users (<500 - 50)

- large student organization or class
- entire departments, labs or centers
|
Impact to the MIT Community | - users do not intend to use the product that often (<once once per week or less)
- users only intend to use for a brief period of time (project based)
- does not fit within MITs mission of advancing knowledge, education and research
| - purpose is specifically for one class
- very specific purpose, not a flexible tool that can meet a variety of needs
- fits MITs mission of advancing knowledge, education and research
| - potential for expanded user base over time
- will be used on a daily or ongoing basis for coursework or research
- clearly adds value to the MIT user experience
|
Risk To IS&T
| - no budget exists for licensing (no clear funding source)
- alternative service offering already exists
- lack of distribution mechanisms
- lack of resources or skills to support the required service level agreement
| - some funding exists
- other alternatives may suit the need better in terms of cost and value to the users
- support burden is not high
- distribution mechanisms in place
- not moving to a feasibility assessment could generate bad will for IS&T
| - funding can be identified
- clearly fits within the current Distributed Software business model
- brings maximum value to the community and good will for IS&T
