Introduction
The report consists of various techniques of developing the AFD system. AFD is Australian Fashion
Designs business. It has its offices in Sydney and Melbourne. Previously it used to sell women's
clothing materials in retail. It has its business in New Zealand and China. The delivery is done through
postal services. The AFD system is used to manage the organization's stock management,
representatives of wedding, purchasing etc. The report consists of the description of various
methodologies and suggests ways to choose the best for the development. This report also consists
of the ways of adopting UCD approach and plans for setting of HCL when using CRM. So, the
investigations are included in this report that includes the adopting approaches of UCS and plans
using UCD and HCL. Later, it also contains an event table supporting business processes. Then class
diagrams and Use case diagrams.

Task 1: Report
There are various methodologies available in the market that can implement the AFD business
process. The management team of the AFD knows a little about iterative and agile development
methodologies. So, this report consists of description of the different methodologies of iterative and
agile techniques. This will help them understanding various methods of development. With this they
will be able to choose the appropriate method of development. The detailed study of the case is
done to understand the needs of the system in the AFD organization. The Agile is a result focused
method of development. It is a fast and flexible process. It is based on the waterfall model. The
development team works with the customers to develop the business. The iterative works on
simplified development which progressively complexes to complete the process. Various techniques
of agile and iterative development are given below:
1. Agile Approach:
It is an incremental model. The system is developed in an incremental order in fast cycles.
Due to this, incremental outputs are released. Each incremented process is based on the
output of the previous incremental process. Every release is made to test so as to ensure the
quality of the software. It is mainly used for hard time applications. Adaptive planning
followed by progressive development is done in this type of approach.
Advantages of Agile approach:
 Being a rapid and continuous process, the customer satisfaction is gained.
 Working models are delivered more frequently.
 Continuous attention is needed for technical excellence.
 Any change in the requirements can be adopted easily.
 It will help the management of the AFD in managing the purchases, transactions etc.
 A user friendly interface is provided to the users.
Disadvantages of Agile approach:
 Less importance is given to documentation and designing.
 Chances of getting project out of track in case of unclear requirements.
 Only senior members are allowed to take decisions.
 It becomes difficult to calculate the efforts used at the beginning of the project in
case of large projects.
 It costs more so AFD team will have to opt for the tenders (Abrahamsson et al.,
2018).
