What did we learn so far?
Why many new system implementations fail ?
What can be done ?
IS/ IT • Planning • Justification
IS/ IT system development methodologies and options• Team effort• Several
approaches • Start with
investigation and analysis, design, maintenance and review
Emphasis • How to deliver • Right information
to the right person at the right time!

Summary
Your activities for coming week
Basic system development framework
IS development – intangible, eventually
visible
Process of design to delivery is repeatable
Software engineering –
shifts from waterfall paradigm
Analogies – limited and not
complete
Iterative, agile development

Examples?
What are the benefits of planning for Information Systems? What obstacles teams might have to overcome to have their plans heard in an organization? Discuss
Problem Recognition and Definition
User mentions a problem
Is it a problem or symptom
Establish the need
Define the problem
Technical feasibility (Proof of
concept)
Economic feasibility (costs
vs Benefits)
Legal Feasibility (laws and
regulations)
Operational feasibility (historical
acceptance of IT systems,
Personnel re-training)
Schedule feasibility
(balancing time and resource)
Feasibility Study
Current System
Analysis
Requirements analysis
Conceptual Design
