This week's topic was "Information Systems Development". As one might already guess from the name, the lectures for thie week were all very clear and straightforward. A information systems development consists of 5 stages, namely Planning, Analysis, Design, Implementation and Operation/Maintenance. These stages are all very clear, first you start planning the system by after having recognized a need. Then you go to the analysis stage where you further investigate the feasibility and the plan in more detail. After that you start setting up a design for the system. This stage may actually take quiet a long time, but is also an essential part of the whole development cycle. You can then proceed by implementing your system. Last but not least, every information system must be maintained while being operated. This is a never ending process.
In today's business environment the setting up of an information system is very important, as systems are used everywhere. They are essential for a smooth functioning of a business and thus need to be created very in-depth and effective. Therefore you should always go through all of the above mentioned stages for not wasting time and money and ending up with a useless information system.
