Introduction: Systems development is the process of defining, designing, testing, and implementing a new software application or program.  It could include the internal development of customized systems, the creation of database systems, or the acquisition of third party developed software. Written standards and procedures must guide all information systems processing functions. The organization’s management must define and implement standards and adopt an appropriate system development life cycle methodology governing the process of developing, acquiring, implementing, and maintaining computerized information systems and related technology. Examination Objectives: Determine if the board and management have established and maintained effective systems development methodology. This is accomplished through the following examination objectives: • Board and Management Oversight – Assess the adequacy of systems development oversight by examining related policies, procedures, and method...

Feasibility studies aim to objectively and rationally uncover the strengths and weaknesses of an existing business or proposed venture, opportunities and threats as presented by the environment, the resources required to carry through, and ultimately the prospects for success. In its simplest terms, the two criteria to judge feasibility are cost required and value to be attained. As such, a well-designed feasibility study should provide a historical background of the business or project, description of the product or service, accounting statements, details of the operations and management, marketing research and policies, financial data, legal requirements and tax obligations. Generally, feasibility studies precede technical development and project implementation. Technical feasibility The assessment is based on an outline design of system requirements in terms of Input, Processes, Output, Fields, Programs, and Procedures. This can be quantified in terms of volumes of data, trends, fr...

●       Encourage users to speak up. Don't assume they understand that they carry equal authority on the team. ●       Ask probing questions about how users do their work, even about points that seem obvious. Ask why they so something as well as "what" and "how." ●       Do state the obvious (once, at least). Don't assume that something is "common knowledge." ●       Ask for clarification. Don't assume you are the only one confused. If users start talking office-lingo, bring them gently back down to Earth. ●       Restate the user's points in your own words to make sure you understand each other. ●       Avoid technical explanations and computer jargon. if you must use technical terminology, provide a list of terms and definitions. ●       Mention problems that you see when you see them. Don't assume that users are...
