- The purpose of this paper is to explore IS development/IT operations alignment in system development projects. The paper triangulates data from four independent studies in order to explore how the two domains are aligned in today's system development projects. The paper concludes that the two domains are unsatisfactorily aligned: communication and information flow is not efficient, plans and activities are not well-connected, and they do not have a close working relationship. Our findings suggest that improving IS development/IT operations alignment must be a priority for IT managers, and we offer suggestions for focal issues. This study shed light on a new aspect of IT governance and alignment challenges, and provides researchers with data and perspectives for further research.

- This chapter addresses the interplay of IS development and IT operations in system development projects, as seen from the perspective of IT operations. The underlying perspective is that a well-performed interplay of the two domains is essential, both for the successful development of a new information system, as well as for its subsequent operation. In this chapter, we use alignment theory to analyse data from a Delphi study in order to investigate the interplay of the two areas. The chapter concludes that the two areas are often unsatisfactorily aligned and that improving their interplay must be a priority for IS development and IT operations alike.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This research addresses the relationship of IS development and IT operations in system development projects. The paper uses an alignment perspective to analyze data from four independent studies: one focus group discussion, two case studies, and one Delphi study, in order to explore the relationship of the two domains. The paper concludes that the two domains are unsatisfactorily aligned, they are not well acquainted with each other’s domains, ommunication and information flow is not efficient, plans and activities are not well connected, and they do not have a close working relationship characterized by long-term commitments, and where goals, risk and benefits are shared. Improving their alignmentmust be a priority for IS development and IT operations alike.
