83 83 Introduction and Instructions 87 Template 1—Airport Profile 90 Template 2—Strategic Planning 103 Template 3—Business Case Development Guide Introduction and Instructions The Strategic Planning and Business Case Development Guide is a structured set of templates that guide the user through a step-by-step process of defining appropriate IT delivery methods based on a strategic evaluation of their unique stakeholder needs and the overall airport goals. It is a functional tool consisting of a set of self-evaluation checklists and templates that are avail- able online (http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/171838.aspx) in printable portable document format (PDF). Based on the content presented in Appendices A through D, this guidance pro- vides a framework to ensure that all IT-related decisions are being made with a focus on creating optimal value by maintaining a balance between realizing benefits and optimizing risk levels and resource use. The primary intent of this guidance is to enable the airport manager to make wise decisions that will • Achieve strategic goals and business benefits through effective and innovative use of IT; • Achieve operational excellence through the reliable and efficient application of technology; • Maintain IT-related risk at an acceptable level; • Optimize the cost of IT services and technology; and • Comply with relevant laws, regulations, contractual agreements, and policies. To accomplish this, the Strategic Planning and Business Case Development Guide walks the user through the following steps: • Determine the unique characteristics of the airport and the impact they have on the applica- bility of IT delivery methods • Define the airport’s IT strategic goals and enabling processes relative to its stakeholder needs • Evaluate the value that differing options provide in meeting the stakeholder needs of the airport • Assess the readiness level of the airport to implement the chosen option based on defined impacts The resulting content of Templates 1 and 2 combines to provide the basic detail needed to develop a functional IT Strategic Plan. Template 3 provides a structure for evaluating issues and opportunities to establish IT initiatives either for an IT Master Plan or on an individual case- by-case basis.
