Development of a Successful System

SAD is a process for analyzing an organization's needs and designing new information systems to meet them.

Development of a Successful System

Introduction:

Developing a successful system involves a step-by-step process to ensure the system is useful, user-friendly, reliable, and solves the real problem for which it is created.

Definition:

The development of a successful system is the structured process of analyzing, designing, building, testing, and implementing an information system that meets the objectives of users and organizations effectively and efficiently.

 

Key Stages in Successful System Development (with Explanation):

Step

Description

Example

1. Problem Identification

Understand the real problem or need for the system.

Manual attendance is slow and inaccurate.

2. Feasibility Study

Check if the system is possible technically, economically, and legally.

Can we afford a biometric system?

3. System Analysis

Study the current system and gather user requirements.

Talk to teachers and students about current issues.

4. System Design

Create a blueprint for the new system (layout, data flow, interfaces).

Design a biometric-based attendance system.

5. Development/Coding

Build the actual system using programming or tools.

Code the attendance app and connect it to a fingerprint device.

6. Testing

Check the system for errors or issues (bugs, performance, security).

Test if the app marks attendance correctly.

7. Implementation

Install the system in the real environment and train users.

Set up the system in classrooms and train staff.

8. Maintenance

Fix issues, update features, and improve the system as needed.

Add holiday and leave management features later.

9. Evaluation

Review if the system meets goals and improves performance.

Compare attendance speed and accuracy before and after.

 

 

Factors for System Success:                                           

Factor

Role

User Involvement

Users must be involved in planning and testing.

Clear Objectives

Purpose and goals should be well-defined.

Proper Planning

Project must have timelines and resources.

Good Design

System must be user-friendly and error-free.

Testing and Feedback

Catch and fix errors before full use.

Regular Maintenance

Keep the system updated and relevant.
