1. Introduction
Aim of preparing this report is to conduct the analysis of existing
information system of present in Allsports Sports Club (ASC) to find the
problems or issues currently club president and other users are facing
with the very limited software like word and spreadsheet. This job is very
difficult for the club president because this club has few thousands of
members registered in the club. Every week club president need to
nominate a new member among them to act as editor.
Objective of this report is to develop a system for handling such a big
database and manage it well as per the criteria or the wish of the
members and users by choosing on suitable methodology. The
information system to be developed for ASC can be named as ASCIS.

2. Approach to Systems Development
Best approach to develop ASCIS
At ASC, many outdoor games are being played by the
members like athletics, football and cricket. The club also has
facility for indoors like table tennis. Club has taken a policy to
publish newsletter every week by Wednesday to promote its sports
activities being played there. Club president supervises the process
of publication and he need to nominate a new editor for the same
among the few thousand members. Then the editor need to follow-
up and coordinate between the members for getting the 10 articles
and with advertisers to get 5 advertisements which are required to
be published with this newsletter. In doing so, users and club
president had to face many challenges like:
Maintain the list of many thousand members and to
check who all have not yet submitted the articles
Maintain the list and filter it in excel to find the pending
members who has not yet became editor at least once.
Maintaining the list of articles and advertisements with
respect to their subjects, so that weekly newsletter can
be published with some subject or theme for the week.
So, while maintaining all the above documents and doing timely
follow-up for the pending activities become very difficult for the
editor and president. So they need to develop an automated system
for resolving the issues, and in such dynamic situation I feel Agile as
the best methodology which can be used to develop the ASCIS.
Justification for the approach
The chosen approach (Agile methodology) is having the
advantage of performing the best in the situation where people
related activities an feedback are important for the development of
the system (Lechler & Yang, 2017). In the scenarios where
