    Initial Investigation

    The first step in initial investigation is clarifying and strengthening the analyst's background about
    the organization. After studying the existing system one can gather information. One should know what
    information to be gathered, where and checked for completeness and accuracy. Analyzing the data
    involves identification of the system and interrelationships and identifying the strength and weakness of
    the system.

    Major activities involved in the system analysis are fact finding and fact analysis. An analyst can
    collect data from two principal sources: written documents and personnel who are knowledgeable about
    or involved in the operation of the system under study.

    Fact finding technique,which is the most appropriate one, includes four techniques
     Data collection
     Questionnaires
     Personnel interviews
     Onsite-Observation

    Data Collection

    The data has been collected and organized from the documents such as records,reports from the
    project manager, then collected the details of the present system. The recent information is collected
    through personal interviews and by direct observation.

    Questionnaires

    Questionnaires are an important and effective type of correspondence. This method is effective to
    obtain information from a large number of peoples, particularly if they are widely scattered or in remote
    locations. It is also possible to ask to the manager about their requirements. Questionnaires should be
    brief in order to increase the promptness and probability of response. Questionnaires can also be used to
    solicit responses to specific questions from individuals.

    Personnel interview

    It is one of the most fruitful methods of obtaining information.Personal interviews has been
    conducted with the manager and also collected all the details related to the project.
    Onsite -observation

    The datas has been collected by observing the operations of the existing system and analyzed what
    are all the changes to be made to the existing system and formulated questions and drawn conclusions on
    the basis of observations.
