Software Development Kaplan University IT460 – System Analysis and Design From my reading I learned that Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) follows a pretty general process that is used by a lot of project managers. The whole purpose of SDLC is to create a better product than is planned for while meeting time and cost figures (Tutorials Point). the Chief Information Officer (CIO) asked to look at a couple of methodologies. The two methodologies are JAD (Joint Application Development)

distinguish the advantages and disadvantages for different application methodologies. Since the company does not want to remain with SDLC, I am required to recommend either Joint Application Development (JAD) or Rapid Application Development (RAD). Therefore, I will provide information and allow the company president to make a decision based upon my research. JAD is a methodology that uses the design and development processes of an application. It is an information gathering technique used to design

and Thelma Mellankamp, is running the business with errors occurring frequently because of the nonexistence of an organizational information system. The systems analysis consultant that is hired to help Hoosier Burger should utilize the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) methodologies to develop and support the organization’s information system. There are four key steps to the SDLC: (1) planning and selection, (2) analysis, (3) design, and (4) implementation and operation. The first phase

information-gathering technique and design method proposed for this project is the Rapid Application Development method, acronym RAD. The RAD methodology is a process in which research of user requirements is compiled before producing any detailed system design documents. Using this approach decreases the time needed to design and implement new systems. Factors of Successful Analysis The Rapid Application Development method incorporates using three different approaches of systems analysis. These

IT 460 Unit 1 Kaplan University Harold Boyd The first thing I am going to talk about is JAD (Joint Application Development). Joint Application Development (JAD) is a development technique used to help IT developers build systems. This technique was developed by IBM in the 1970's. In this technique, a team is formed of members of different backgrounds. These members are made up of end-users, management, and IT staff. This team meets and discusses the current project in a number of workshops/sessions
