Principles of Information SystemsEighth Edition Chapter 12 Systems Development: Investigation and Analysis
Participants in Systems Development Systems Analysts Specialize in analyzing & designing business systems. Stakeholders Benefit from the systems develop- ment effort Programmers Modify/develop programs to satisfy user requirements. Users Interact with the system regularly
Developing a Competitive Advantage • Creative analysis Investigates new approaches to existing problems. • Critical analysis Unbiased & careful questioning of whether system elements are related in the most effective/ efficient ways.
Establishing Objectives for Systems Development • Performance objectives • Output quality or usefulness • Output format quality or usefulness • Speed at which output is produced • Cost objectives • Development costs • Fixed investments • Ongoing operating costs • Uniqueness costs
Factors Affecting Systems Development Success • Degree of Change • Continuous Improvement versus Reengineering • Managing change
Factors Affecting SystemsDevelopment Success Managing Change Requires the ability to recognize existing or potential problems & deal with them before they become a serious threat to the success of the new/ modified system
Project Management • Project schedule • Project milestone • Project deadline • Critical path
Systems Investigation In general, systems investigation attempts to uncover answers to the following questions: • What primary problems might a new or enhanced system solve? • What opportunities might a new or enhanced system provide? • What new hardware, software, databases, telecommunications, personnel, or procedures will improve an existing system or are required in a new system? • What are the potential costs (variable and fixed)? • What are the associated risks?
Data Analysis • Data modeling • Activity modeling • Application flowcharts • Grid charts • CASE tools
Requirements Analysis • Asking directly • Critical success factors (CSFs) • The IS plan • Screen and report layout
Summary • Systems development team - of stakeholders, users, managers, systems development specialists, and various support personnel • Five phases of the traditional SDLC - investigation, analysis, design, implementation, and maintenance and review • Systems investigation participants - stakeholders, users, managers, employees, analysts, and programmers
