System Development Process in Accounting

The document discusses the system development process, which involves a set of activities, methods, and tools used to develop and maintain information systems. It describes the general problem-solving approach of identifying problems, analyzing solutions, designing solutions, implementing solutions, and evaluating results. The key phases of the system development process are system initiation, system analysis, system design, system implementation, and ongoing system support and improvement. Project and process management are also important to develop systems on time, on budget, and with quality. The document contrasts sequential and iterative approaches to system development.

System Development Process
A set of activities, methods, best practices,
deliverables, and automated tools that
stakeholders use to develop and maintain
information systems and software.
General Problem solving Approach
– Identify the problem.
– Analyze and understand the problem.
– Identify solution requirements or expectations.
– Identify alternative solutions and choose the
“best” course of action.
– Design the chosen solution.
– Implement the chosen solution.
– Evaluate the results. If the problem is not solved,
return to step 1 or 2 as appropriate.
System Development and Problem solving
Project and Process Management
• System development process must be managed on a
project-by-project basis.
• Project Manager should ensure that system is developed
on time, within budget, and with acceptable quality.
• Activity of defining, planning, directing, monitoring, and
controlling a project is called Project Management.
• Process management is the ongoing activity that defines,
improves, and coordinates the use of an organization’s
chosen methodology.
• Project management and process management overlap of
all the process phases.
System Development Process Review
System initiation

System analysis

System design

System implementation
System Initiation
• Begins when a business need or opportunity is
identified.
• Information system requires a significant time,
effort, and economic investment.
• Establishes scope and the problem solving plan.
• Specifies schedule and budget that must be made to
successfully complete the project.
• Project Managers, System analysts and system
owners are the primary stakeholders in a system
analyst.
System Analysis
• Study of a business problem domain to recommend
improvements.
• Specifying the business requirements and priorities for
the solution.
• A detailed blueprint of various processes of the
software is developed.
• Project team determines the end user requirements.
• Physical system is designed with the help of the logical
design prepared by system analysts.
Systems Design
• Specification or construction of a technical, computer-
based solution for the business requirements identified in
a system analysis.
• Design functions and operations are described in detail,
including screen layouts, business rules, process diagrams
and other documentation.
• The design takes the form of working prototype.
• All system designs should conform to the IT standard
architecture.
• Technology drivers closely impact the design process and
decisions.
Systems Implementation
• System implementation is the construction,
installation, delivery of a system into
production.
• New hardware or software is installed and
tested.
• Should meet user requirements and
expectations.
System Support and continuous
improvement
• Information systems face a lifetime of support and
continuous improvement.
• Users will find errors (bugs) and you discover, on occasion,
design and implementation flaws that require attention
and fixes.
• Business and user requirements constantly change.
• Need for Continuously improve and formation system until
it becomes obsolete.
• A change in system is called enhancement or maintenance
project.
• Consumes greater time, effort and money.
Sequential versus Iterative Development
• Waterfall development
approach an approach to
systems analysis and design
that completes each phase one
after another and only once .

• Iterative development
approach an approach to
systems analysis and design
that completes the entire
information system in
successive iterations.
