2SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
Section A
Introduction
The main aim of the project is developing an information system to automate the working
process of the Allsports Club. The objectives of this project is to design an information system
that will help to president to select and editor from the club members (Pranam, 2018). The
objective of this project is also enabling the members of the club to upload their articles so that
the editor can choose an article for the newsletter.
The problems that are identified for the undertaken project are that the president is not
able to track the articles of the newsletter and finds difficulty to appoint an editor. There is also
problem to select advertisers for each week newsletter. So there is a need of information system
that will be approved by the president of the Allsports Club.
Chosen Software Development Methodology
In software development life cycle, the approaches are chosen to plan, create, test as well
as deploy the information system that is to be built. There are many approaches of SDLC life
cycle and two of the approaches are selected for designing information system for the Allsports
club. The two approaches are defined below.
Waterfall model and the prototyping model are the two approaches that can be considered
for designing information system of the Allsports club. Waterfall model is the simplest model of
all the approaches that are used in SDLC method (Panigrahi, Mall and Pati, 2017). The
prototyping method that can be used for designing information system is an iterative method.
The reasons for choosing these approaches are explained below.

3SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
If the project developing team has inexperienced staffs, the waterfall model is the best
approach to design the system as because waterfall model provides structure about how to
develop the information system (Laplante, 2017). The milestones are clearly understandable with
the use of waterfall model. The prototyping method is selected for this system as because it is an
iterative method and allows customer feedback for this method (Hutton and Huckaby, 2018).
The prototyping method stimulates the needed functionality in information system.
Data Gathering Techniques
The techniques that can be used to gather data are explained below:
Observation Technique: This technique includes making observations (Witten et al.,
2016). This technique is extremely quick techniques as well as an effective technique to collect
the data having minimal intrusion. The mechanism that is to be used should be followed
correctly in observation technique.
Questionnaire Technique: The questionnaire technique is an instrument that can be used
for data collection that are administered to sample subjects (Langdon and Harman, 2015). This
can be done through email or through phone and even online. This is the most popular technique
for collecting data.
Interviews: All shortfalls in carry out a project can be overcome by using the interview
technique (Dick, Hull and Jackson, 2017). With the help of interview, the researchers will be
able to uncover the rich, and learn more detailed information for the project that is carried out.
