Information System Development Model: Theories Analysis and Guidelines

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNIP,volume 5857))

Abstract

Development of information system project is one of the IT projects which have been developed to offer the best facilities for publics. Process of system development will go through its own life cycle and every process must be refined in order to fulfill aims and objectives. Eventhough information system development is always correlate with failure but a few key factors will help the systems to succeed. There are multiple success factors being discussed by other researches in the information system development but failure figure still at the higher side. The main purpose of this research is to discuss processes involved in the development of information system which positively contribute towards its success. Model of information system development which has been developed (PADM Model) consists of four fundamental processes; planning, requirement analysis, design and maintenance. All processes will be monitored by a main process namely quality as the key performance indicator. Quality plays a vital role in assessing the ability of information system developed in order to fulfill users’ expectations. Analysis of theory can be used as a guideline and measurement base towards the system with hope that percentage of failure will reduce subsequently.
