171) What is the purpose of using a real options pricing model to estimate the potential value of an information systems project?

172) You are the senior project manager for a Web development company with upwards of 100 current client projects. You have been assigned to evaluate two upcoming projects. One project is to develop a time tracking solution that would allow your 20 freelancers to submit daily time sheets and would report on the time spent on each project. The other project is to redesign the client interface to the company extranet to make it easier to use. The extranet allows clients to log in and view their current Web sites under development, as well as view project statistics, documents, and progress reports. Compare the two projects in terms of risk factors.
