Game Plan
IS Acquisition Systems Development Lifecycle (SDLC) Modify the SDLC? Supplemental Method: Prototyping Alternative Method: RUP
1. 3. 4.
Degree to which the needed IS application matches an existing package available for purchase Costs/time associated with customizing/generating IS
Size of business small businesses may not be able to afford to build customized systems
Potential impact of IS
Will costs to customize/generate be worthwhile?
Development Methods
Some BUILD Options Cowboy Coding Waterfall method: Systems Development Life Cycle Iterative methods: Prototyping, Rapid Application Development, XP
Systems Investigation
Design
2. Is this an appropriate assumption for all types of systems? Consider two types of IS:
TPS: Performs routine, repetitive tasks DSS: Supports non-routine decisions, Un/Semi-structured decisions, Users uncertain of system requirements
Preliminary Analysis: Understand the basic user requirements to help develop the initial prototype
Prototyping
After the Preliminary Analysis, the developer creates a system for initial review by user(s).
Eventually the prototype gets a thumbs up. Some prototypes are throwaways and others are evolutionary prototypes
Evolutionary prototype
Prototype is continually refined until final system is built Advantages for DSS
Dont need to discard the prototype May speed up development process Flexible
