1. Fact Finding Techniques. Fact Finding is the formal process of using research,
interviews, questionnaires, and other techniques to collect information about
systems, requirements, and preferences. It is also called information gathering or
data collection. The System Analyst.
2. An investigation is a fact-finding exercise to collect all the relevant information
on a matter. A properly conducted investigation can enable an employer to fully
consider the matter and then make an informed decision on it.
4. What is the difference between JAD and RAD?
Explain and discuss.
1. Rapid application development (RAD) is both a general term used to refer to alternatives to the conventional waterfall
model of software development as well as the name for James Martin's approach to rapid development.
2. JAD (Joint Application Development) is a methodology that involves the client or end user in the design and
development of an application, through a succession of collaborative workshops called JAD sessions.
Differences:
RADsupports the iteration and flexibility necessary for building robust business process support. As business problems
become increasingly cross-functional and unstructured, RAD may prove increasingly useful.
JAD approaches relied more heavily on data modeling and prototyping techniques to compress development time by
overlapping what had been sequential steps. Modeling was seen as an intellectual common ground on which developers and
users could meet to negotiate system details.
5. Why do we need to document the analysis
phase? Discuss.
We need to document the Analysis Phase because it is where the project lifecycle
begins. The Analysis Phase is where you break down the deliverables in the high-level
Project Charter into the more detailed business requirements. The Analysis Phase is
also the part of the project where you identify the overall direction that the project will
take through the creation of the project strategy documents.
