INFORMATION SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
Introduction
The report is prepared for the development of an information system for International
Charity Foundation partnering with Australian OAGDS (Overseas Aid gift Deduction
Scheme) organization. The current manual process of the organisation for recording the
personal details for enrolling the children is need to be automated for reducing the errors in
the manual process and reduce the complexity of management of the information. The report
is prepared for describing the approach used for the development of the information system
and identification of the techniques needed for the development of the system. A list of
requirement is created and a project schedule, cost benefit analysis is used for the removal of
the problems and increase the efficiency of the organization.
Task 1: Approaches to system development
International Charity Foundation needs to do a market analysis and identify the
current problem faced by them for the management of the records of the children’s. A
predictive or adaptive approach should be selected depending upon the requirement of the
project. Both the predictive and the adaptive approach utilizes the SDLC model for the
development of the project. The system controls should be developed for designing and
integrating the modules with the developed framework. The waterfall model is selected for
the development of the information system and the phases involved for the project are given
below. The activities involved in the software waterfall model are given below:
Planning phase –
 Defining the scope and objectives of the business – A feasibility study is made
on the project for performing the set of tasks.
 Development of the project schedule – The project manager prepares a gantt
chart for management of the activities.

INFORMATION SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
 Confirmation of the feasibility of the project – The feasibility is confirmed
from the group of stakeholders by arranging stakeholder meetings.
 Management of the resources of the organization – Each of the activity
requires resources and thus the resources are allocated for the completion of
each of the activity.
Analysis phase -
 Identification of then problems for the development of the project – A risk
analysis is done for the identification of the barriers in the project.
 Building the prototypes for the project
 Prioritizing the requirement – the requirements are prioritized for completing
early.
 Defining the requirement of the project
 Identification of the alternatives of the project
Design Phase -
 Designing and integrating with the current framework
 Designing the architecture for the system
 User interface development
 System interface development
 Integrating with the database
 Integrating the system controls with the design
Implementation phase –
 Development of the software components
 Testing and verification of the components
 Conversion of the data elements
