Compare the underlying assumptions and uses of a predictive and an adaptive system development life cycle (SDLC) Explain what makes up a system development methodology—the SDLC as well as models, tools, and techniques Describe the key features of Agile development Understand and describe the key features of the Unified Process, Extreme Programming, and Scrum Agile system development methodologies Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing World, 7th edition - Chapter 10 ©2016.

Chapter 1 demonstrated a system development project that used an iterative and agile system development life cycle (SDLC) Later chapters focused on Systems Analysis activities and tasks and some System Design activities and tasks Now we return to look at the SDLC and related concepts in more detail Predictive versus Adaptive SDLC variations Activities and Tasks of System Support Models, Methodologies, Tools and Techniques Agile Development Specific SDLC Approaches Unified Process (UP) Extreme Programming (XP) Scrum Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing World, 7th edition - Chapter 10 ©2016.

There are two general approaches to the SDLC Predictive Approach to the SDLC Waterfall model Assumes the project can be planned in advance and that the information system can be developed according to the plan Requirements are well understood and/or low technical risk Adaptive Approach to the SDLC Iterative model (as see in this text) Assumes the project must be more flexible and adapt to changing needs as the project progresses Requirements and needs are uncertain and/or high technical risk Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing World, 7th edition - Chapter 10 ©2016.

Earlier approach based on engineering Typically have sequential Phases Phases are related groups of development activities, such as planning, analysis, design, implementation, and deployment Waterfall model SDLC that assumes phases can be completed sequentially with no overlap or iteration Once one phase is completed, you fall over the waterfall to the next phase, no going back Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing World, 7th edition - Chapter 10 ©2016.

More flexibility, but still assumes predictive planning and sequential phases Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing World, 7th edition - Chapter 10 ©2016. Cengage Learning. All rights reserved. Emerged in response to increasingly complex requirements and uncertain technological environments Always includes iterations where some of design and implementation is done from the beginning Many developers claim it is the only way to develop information systems Many IS managers are still sceptical due to apparent lack of overall plan Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing World, 7th edition - Chapter 10 ©2016.

Incremental development Completes portions of the system in small increments and integrated as the project progresses Sometimes considered “growing” a system Walking Skeleton The complete system structure is built first, but with bare-bones functionality Advantage of both=> it gets to the user sooner so business can begin Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing World, 7th edition - Chapter 10 ©2016.

Methodologies help in the following: Provides guidelines for every facet of system development: What to do when, why and how Specifies an SDLC with activities and tasks Specifies project planning and project management models and reporting Specifies analysis and design models to create Specifies implementation and testing techniques Specifies deployment and support techniques Other term used is System Development Process Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing World, 7th edition - Chapter 10 ©2016.

A Methodology includes a collection of techniques that are used to complete activities and tasks, including modeling, for every aspect of the project Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing World, 7th edition - Chapter 10 ©2016.

Makes it possible to understand a complex concept by focusing only on a relevant part Each model shows a different aspect of the concept Crucial for communicating project information In IS, some models are of system components that will be developed Other models are used to manage the development process Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing World, 7th edition - Chapter 10 ©2016.

Agile Values in “Manifesto for Agile Software Development” Value responding to change over following a plan Value individuals and interactions over processes and tools Value working software over comprehensive documentation Value customer collaboration over contract negotiation Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing World, 7th edition - Chapter 10 ©2016.

Agile Modeling (AM) – 12 Principles A philosophy – build only necessary models that are useful and at the right level of detail Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing World, 7th edition - Chapter 10 ©2016.

Develop software as the primary goal Don’t get distracted by documentation or models Enable the next effort as your secondary goal Be aware of next step versions or revisions Minimize your modeling activity Only build what helps move the project forward Embrace change and change incrementally Take small steps that keep you on-track and that can be reversed if necessary Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing World, 7th edition - Chapter 10 ©2016.

Model with a purpose Model to understand Model to communicate Build multiple models Look at problems from different perspectives Build high-quality models and get feedback Focus on content rather than representation Informal hand-drawn models are sometimes okay Always focus on stakeholder needs Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing World, 7th edition - Chapter 10 ©2016.

All rights reserved. This chapter covers approaches to system development in more detail There are two approaches to the SDLC: Predictive and Adaptive A predictive SDLC, also known as the waterfall model, is used when it is possible to plan the project completely in advance An Adaptive SDLC, which uses iteration, is used when the requirements are less certain and the project will need to react to changes Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing World, 7th edition - Chapter 10 ©2016.

A methodology includes an SDLC and tools, techniques, and models Agile development is the current trend in system development Unified Process is a formal iterative approach which uses UML models (with Agile philosophy) and UP disciplines Extreme Programming (XP) is an iterative approach which takes good practices to the extreme Scrum is an iterative approach using a Scrum Sprint Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing World, 7th edition - Chapter 10 ©2016.
