    Study Notes

    System Development Approaches and Considerations

    • System development considerations include accuracy, speed, scalability, risk, development costs, uniqueness costs, fixed investments, and ongoing operating costs
    • Traditional system development life cycle involves investigation, analysis, design, implementation, and maintenance
    • Prototyping is an iterative systems development approach
    • Rapid Application Development (RAD) and Joint Application Development (JAD) are techniques to speed up application development
    • Agile development allows for changes during the development process
    • End-user systems development involves business managers and users leading the development effort
    • Outsourcing and on-demand computing can reduce costs, provide advanced technology, and eliminate staffing needs
    • Factors affecting system development success include degree of change, quality and standards, project management tools, computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools, and object-oriented systems development
    • Managing change in system development involves addressing user concerns and potential problems
    • Project management tools such as project schedules, milestones, deadlines, critical path, PERT, and Gantt charts aid in managing system development projects
