INTRODUCTION
The system analysis is a method of examining each and every component of the system
which needs to be installed within the company. System analysis assists the company in
analysing the flow of the information within the company so that the data can be utilised in
proper and effective manner (Magana, Seah and Thomas, 2018). The current report is based over
company Green Food which is a small supermarket and management of company is planning to
develop a new smart phone application. The major aim of this smart phone application is to
enhance the sales and loyalty of consumers. Thus the present report will analyse the strength and
weakness of tradition and agile system of methodologies. Further the feasibility study relating to
development of business problem will be done.
MAIN BODY
P1. Strengths and weakness of tradition and agile system analysis methods
The system development life cycle is a quality system which assists the company in
meeting the expectation of the consumers and completes the project in planned and effective
manner. The SDLC is a methodology which includes tow type of methods that is traditional and
the agile methodology of managing and implementing the system. The strength and weakness of
the different types of traditional and agile methodology are as follows-
Traditional methodology
Waterfall
Advantages Disadvantages
The major advantage of the waterfall model is
that it is very simple and easy to understand
and use it (SDLC waterfall model, 2020).
Another major advantage of using the waterfall
model is that this is a phased model and all the
phases are clearly defined and described.
The major drawback of this model is that there
is high risk and uncertainty attached as all the
phases are interlinked with one another.
Another major drawback is that under this
method the progress of the system cannot be
managed in effective manner.
Iterative model
Advantages Disadvantages
The major advantage of this traditional method The major drawback is that in this method

is that it is easily adaptable to the changing
needs of the project and the client.
Another major benefit of using this is that this
is more cost effective method and is assistive
in change management.
more resources are required and for this the
cost of using this method increases.
Another major disadvantage of this method is
that the management need to be more alert and
attentive relating to the project and details of
project (What is iterative model? 2019).
V- shaped model
Advantages Disadvantages
The major advantage of this model is that this
model includes testing activity like planning,
test design before the stage of coding. This is
assistive in analysing that whether the
application will get successful or not.
Another benefit is that this has feature of
proactive defect tracking.
The major limitation of this model is that this
is not much flexible.
Another drawback is that if any change is in
middle then whole process of documentation
need to be updated.
Spiral model
Advantages Disadvantages
The major advantage is that the software is
produced at earliest by using this model.
Another benefit is that there is benefit of risk
handling as at every phase there is risk
handling and analysis used (Advantages and
disadvantages of using spiral model, 2020).
The major limitation of this model is that this
is not suitable for small project as this method
is expensive.
Another disadvantage is that there comes
difficulty in time management as well as
number of phases is unknown at initial level of
project.
Agile methodology
Kanban
Advantages Disadvantages
The major benefit of using this method of The major drawback of this method is that this

SDLC is that it is simple and easy to
understand.
Another major benefit is that this focuses on
continuous and sustainable development of the
project.
is an independent tool and can be merged with
other process and this takes a lot of time.
Another drawback is that it is not suitable for
the dynamic nature of the environment and this
affect the working.
Agile scrum methodology
Advantages Disadvantages
The major benefit of using this method is that
this project helps the team in completing the
project deliverable in quick and effective
manner.
Another benefit is that with help of scrum
meeting the team can have clarity of goals.
The major drawback of this method is that in
large team use of this method is very
problematic (Davis and Yen, eds., 2019).
Another major drawback of this method is that
if any team member leaves the project in
between then is has impact over whole project.
RAD
Advantages Disadvantages
The major benefit of using this agile method is
that this is flexible and easily adaptable to
changes.
Another positive point RAD is that in this
method it is easier to transfer deliverables of
project.
Major drawback of this method is that this is
not good for project conducted at small level.
Another limitation of this study is that there is
high technical risk involved.
In the present case of Green food the development of the smart phone application the
company must make use of Waterfall model. The major reason for this fact is that under this
method all the stages of the process of development of mobile application is provided in planned
manner and this will provide a clear image of the whole plan.
P2. Feasibility study for the Green Food in developing smart phones
The present case is based on the development of the smart phone mobile application
system for the enhancement of the consumer sales and loyalty towards the company (Valacich,

George and Valacich, 2017). The major reason for this system to be installed in the business is
that currently the whole world has become technologically advance and if this will not be
adapted by the company then they will become obsolete. Hence, for this the major reason is to
develop the latest technology so that consumer gets more attracted towards the company and
purchases the product and services of company.
Vision- the vision of the business case is to develop a new mart phone application so that
consumer can enjoy their visit or interaction with the company.
Economic feasibility- the economic feasibility of this project is very good as this involves
a good amount of investment and on the same side this project if successful will return goof
amount of profit. The major reason for this is that when the consumer will like this application
then they will purchase more of the goods and services. Thus, this will result in more profitable
business of the company. The major investment in the development of the system is around
£300- 350.
Technical feasibility- the technical feasibility of the project is also very effective. The
major reason underlying this fact is that at time of development of the new application is that this
will attract more of the consumer and will increase the business of the company. Hence, for this
the major thing is to make sure that the company is making use of the latest technology.
Network and database security- for managing the data security and the network of
consumer within the company it is the duty of the company to keep all the data of the consumer
safe and secure. This is essential because of the fact that if the company will not be effective in
managing and keeping the data of consumer safe and secure then this will demotiave consumer
and they will not interact with the company. Thus, for this Green food is to make use of cloud
computing to store all the data and information of the consumer and other private people. This
will increase the trust of the employees within the company and will increase the consumer
loyalty (Mahmoud, 2016).
Operational feasibility- the operational feasibility is also present with the new plan of
system of online smart phone application. The major reason for this is that when this has an
effective method of operating in the competitive world then this will attract more of the
consumers. Thus, for this the major essential thing is make the operational plan in effective and
efficient manner so that it attracts more of the consumers.

Legal issues- further there are many different types of laws and legal requirements which
the company Green foods need to work and follow (Reidsma and Jeuffroy, 2017). This is of
great importance to follow all the rules and regulations so that the company is working in
accordance with all the requirement of government and other legal structure. This compliance
with the legal requirement and other laws will assist the company in increasing the trust of
employees as they will be happy that all the laws are being followed.
P3. Reviewing the system using suitable methodology
From the above analysis it is clear that the use of system development life cycle (SDLC)
is very essential for the project to be successfully used and implemented. This is particularly
because of the reason that when the methodology selected for the development of the new
system will not be effectively implemented then this will have a great impact over the working of
the project. Hence, for this the major reason for this is to time to time review the intended
methodology so that it can be evaluated that the project is being undertaken in the same manner.
The major user and system requirement of the project is start with the following process-
The first thing which the consumer need to do is ot have an account over the official
website of the company. For this the consumer can make sure that they get themselves registered
through emails or any other social media sites.
Further after creating the account the company will ensure that the consumer gets to see
what they want to see or research for. Further the company will provide the complete list of
product and services which the company need to follow in order to manage the need and
requirement of the consumers.
Further another major thing to be reviewed is the need and interest of the stakeholders of
Green food. The major reason for this is that when the stakeholders of the company will not
provide money then how the stakeholder of the company will be satisfied. The stakeholder is the
person who is interested in the profit earned by the company in order to manage the working to a
great extent (Sofyan, Puspitorini and Yulianto, 2016).
Along with this functional requirement, there is also some of the non- functional
requirement like the capacity that is estimation of the stock to be stored and kept for contingent
situation. Further another major non- functional aspect of the project is the security of the data.
This is also a major important thing as if the data and other personal information will not be kept
safe and secure then this will decrease the interest of the consumer within the company. Hence, it

might be possible that the idea or system of new smart phone application will not be much
success.
Further the major documentation is also very necessary for the business to be successful.
The major reason for this is that when the whole process of the use of new application will be
documented then consumer will know what they have to do. Hence, the documentation is very
important as this will improve the working capacity of the new system as consumer knows in
advance that how they have to manage the application (Martias, 2018).

Customer first need to
download the mobile
application of Green
Food in their mobiles.
Further they will have to
log in within the
application.
Now the consumer can have
access to all the product and
services and can buy with
help of this application only.
After checking all the
products, the consumer can
make a list or can add all
the product in the basket or
cart.
After the order is placed the
consumer can make the online
payment for the product and
services.
In the end order is
being delivered to the
consumers.

CONCLUSION
In the end it can be said that the use of system development life cycle is very important as
this will simplify the process of developing the new idea of smart phone application. With the
help of the above discussion it was seen that the use of waterfall model was assistive in
developing the new plan of the development of new mobile application for enhancing consumer
loyalty and interest. Further it was analysed that conducting the feasibility study is also important
as this will provide each and every aspect relating to the use of success of the plan is analysed
and evaluated.
