Question 1: System Development Methodology
The assignment asks why a structured methodology is needed for system development and identifies the Critical Success Factors.
Three Critical Success Factors:

Standardization of Procedures: A methodology provides a repeatable, predictable process. It ensures that every team member follows the same “roadmap,” reducing confusion and errors.
Management Control: By breaking the project into phases (like Planning, Analysis, and Design), managers can set milestones and track progress more effectively.
User Involvement: A good methodology ensures that users are consulted at every stage, preventing the development of a system that “works” but doesn’t actually meet the business needs.


Question 2: The Incremental Model
The second part of the assignment focuses on the Incremental Model, where the system is developed and delivered in small pieces (increments).
Characteristics of the Incremental Model:

Iterative Design: Each increment adds functional power to the preceding increment.
Priority-Based: The most important features are built and delivered in the first increment.
Parallelism: Different teams can work on different increments simultaneously once the core architecture is set.

Pros and Cons Table



Advantages (Pros)
Disadvantages (Cons)




Generates working software quickly.
Requires a very clear and complete definition of the whole system before it can be broken down.


Easier to test and debug within a smaller iteration.
Total cost can be higher than the Waterfall model.


More flexible; the cost of changing requirements is lower.
Requires heavy planning to ensure the “pieces” fit together at the end.




Question 3: Strategic Planning for Information Systems
Often, CS507 assignments from this period ask about the Level of Planning.

Strategic Planning: Done by top-level management (long-term goals, 3–5 years).
Tactical Planning: Done by middle management (implementing the strategy, 1–2 years).
Operational Planning: Done by low-level supervisors (daily/weekly tasks).


Would you like me to explain the specific steps for creating an Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) if your assignment requires a visual model?
