1. Introduction
International Charity Foundation (ICF) is an Australia based international organization that supports
young children’s education and medical treatments if they have limited resources or unable to
gather sufficient funds for travelling abroad. ICF collects funds from various sponsors and provide
them to the children who have enrolled for specific programs. In spite of being a popular initiative
and receiving significant amount of funds from the sponsors every year, the organization is facing
certain problems regarding the operations. The problems included manual handling of documents
and payments resulting in numerous and considerable errors and the use of paper documents that
can be easily destroyed. Hence, the organization has decided to implement a computerized system
that will be much more efficient, faster and with minimized errors.
The aim of this report is to determine a specific and suitable system development methodology for
the development of the proposed information system for ICF.

2. Approach to Systems Development
There are several system development approaches and methods that are chosen based on the
nature and type of project and the project requirements. This particular project requires the
development of a number of different features within a limited period of time. Hence, the
recommended approach to systems development is rapid prototyping (Špundak 2014). In this
approach, the different features of the system will be treated as separate projects but will also
executed at the same time. After completion, the features will be integrated within one common
system.
