System Development: A Strategic Framework


Product Description
A study of one of the key issues in the design and development of IT systems: the fact that the bulk of system development projects undertaken will fail to meet originally defined objectives. Using a number of case studies, the book analyses the reasons for this poor performance and provides readers with a pattern of well-defined failure mechanisms which are especially relevant to large, long-term projects. With these established, it then generates a set of planning procedures and corporate guidelines which will substantially reduce the impact and probability of financial and performance disasters in future projects.System Development: A Strategic Framework Review
This book is a must read for any individual, including the "non-techie", who is involved in, or planning a long term project. The pitfalls illustrated can be avoided even in smaller projects. The first half of the book is invaluable in that it examines via case studies, why projects fail. It is wryly written and confirms why "Murphy was an optimist". The second half of the book is dedicated to solving the problem. "System Development" is very readable and frequently humorous without being flippant. This book joins the very few that will stay on my ready reference shelf. Highly recommended.Most of the consumer Reviews tell that the "System Development: A Strategic Framework" are high quality item.
