SYSTEM ANALYSIS
Introduction
Information systems are very useful any type of business in the world at moment of the
time. Free Feet Socks Limited is a company that is based in Australia but they conduct their
business across various countries of the world. In addition to this the business of the company is
growing at a great rate and hence this presents the need for the development of an information
system for the company so that all the features of the company can be performed very easily by
the company and also the business efficiencies of the company can be increased with the help of
the information system. Hence the owner of the company is looking to implement an information
system and wants to adopt the adaptive methodology for the implementation of the system.
The report provides the information about the different type of methodologies that are
available for the adaptive methodology. The advantages and the disadvantages of the different
type of adaptive methodologies has also been provided in this report.
Scrum Methodology
The scrum model is one of the very best model in the adaptive methodologies. This is
basically used for development of software for companies. This methodology is an age old
methodology that has been used various times and are very easy for the users to use. The model
can also be viewed as a framework used for the development of the systems. This is a very
important for the company as this model helps the company to save time and money for the
business procedures. The Framework of the model is also very fast moving and provides the
option of cutting edge development of the systems of the company. This can be used for the
complex methods in the development of the systems and this framework simplifies the methods
in the system.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS
Advantages
 The Scrum model is very effective for the business as this model is very helpful in the
development of documents for the projects that are very hard.
 Quick moving, front line advancements can be immediately coded and tried utilizing this
strategy, as a slip-up can be effortlessly redressed.
 It is a delicately controlled strategy which demands visit refreshing of the advance in
work through consistent gatherings. Along these lines there is clear perception of the task
improvement.
 Because of short dashes and steady criticism, it ends up plainly simpler to adapt to the
progressions.
 Day by day gatherings make it conceivable to gauge singular efficiency. This prompts the
change in the profitability of each of the colleagues.
 It is less demanding to convey a quality item in a planned time.
Disadvantages
 There is great a great risk of scope creep in the project due to the adoption of this method
in the project.
 On the off chance that an assignment isn't all around characterized, evaluating venture
expenses and time won't be precise. In such a case, the errand can be spread more than a
few dashes.
 In the event that the colleagues are not dedicated, the venture will either never total or fall
flat.
 It is useful for little, quick moving ventures as it functions admirably just with little
group.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS
 This system needs experienced colleagues as it were. On the off chance that the group
comprises of individuals who are beginners, the venture can't be finished in time.
 Scrum functions admirably for venture administration when the Scrum Master believes
the group they are overseeing. In the event that they rehearse excessively strict control
over the colleagues, it can be to a great degree disappointing for them, prompting
dampening and the disappointment of the undertaking.
RAD Methodology
RAD is Rapid Application Development model. It is a type of incremental model. In
RAD model the components or functions are developed in parallel as if they were mini projects.
The developments are time boxed, delivered and then assembled into a working prototype. This
can quickly give the customer something to see and use and to provide feedback regarding the
delivery and their requirements. Information objects characterized in information displaying are
changed over to accomplish the business data stream to accomplish some particular business
objective. Portrayal are distinguished and made for CRUD of information objects.
Advantages
 This model helps in the reduction of the time required for the development of the project.
 Builds reusability of parts
 Brisk starting audits happen
 Supports client input
 Reconciliation from earliest reference point unravels a great deal of joining issues.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS
Disadvantages
 This efficiency of the system depends on the performances of the team and also on the
individuals that are associated with the systems.
 Just framework that can be modularized can be manufactured utilizing RAD
 Requires profoundly gifted engineers.
 High reliance on demonstrating abilities
 Inapplicable to less expensive activities as cost of demonstrating and mechanized code
age is high.
ASD Methodology
ASD is the Adaptive Software Development methodology. Versatile Software
Development is a move towards versatile works on, leaving the deterministic practices with
regards to complex frameworks and complex situations. Adaptive Software Development
concentrates on joint effort and learning as a strategy to fabricate complex frameworks. Adaptive
Software Development was at that point reached out to incorporate versatile methodologies for
the administration, with hypothesis supplanting Planning.
Advantages
 The model helps in development of the system very early and also have very frequent
releases.
 Settlement of evolving prerequisites.
 Daily correspondence among the client and designers.
 Projects worked around inspired people.
 Self-sorting out groups.
 Simplicity, concentrating on what is quickly required.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS
 No working for future or overburdening the code.
 Regular reflection to alter conduct to enhance viability
Disadvantages
 The availability of the customer for this system may not be possible
 Groups ought to be experienced to take after the tenets of the strategy.
 Appropriate arranging is required to rapidly settle on the usefulness that necessities to be
conveyed in a cycle.
 Team is required to have estimation abilities and transaction aptitudes.
 Team ought to have powerful relational abilities.
 New groups will most likely be unable to sort out themselves
Recommendations
For conclusion it can be said that the scrum model would be the recommended one for
the FFSL company in order to develop their information system. This model is one of the most
primitive type of model and the features of the model are very well known among the users and
the project managers. Hence, this process would be very easy for the project managers to
implement and also the method is useful in solving the complex problems that arises in the
systems and in the development procedure.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS
theory is based on the study of the system based on the graphs and analysis that is cried by the
researchers or the analysts. The cognitive fit theory states that execution is unrivaled when there
is correspondence between the data exhibited and the errand that must be performed. The
organization needs some new frameworks with the goal that the new data framework wanted by
the organization for the expansion of productivity in the business methodology can be executed
effectively. Be that as it may, the primary issue in regards to the usage of the framework is the
predetermined number of frameworks accessible to the organization to coordinate the new
framework and furthermore for the joining of the gadgets with the new framework. There is
necessity of actualizing new gadgets into the framework and the staffs in the organization ought
to experience some suggested preparing of the framework with the goal that they would be all
around usual to the framework and they exhibitions of the workers would be ideal. Subsequently,
it is prescribed that some new gadgets to be introduced into the system of the organization. And
furthermore the clients of the framework ought to experience a procedure with the goal that they
can get usual to the framework. The production of the company would also be enhanced to a
great extent due to this and employees would have sufficient knowledge on the systems. This
would build the simplicity of the utilization of the framework for the clients and furthermore the
general productivity of framework would be increased. A definite preparing program is to be
intended for the staffs in the frameworks and it is to be ensured that every one of the staffs of the
organization experience the preparation and play out an assessment procedure so the learning
about the framework can be effectively assessed.
The main aim here is to address the owner and the higher authorities about the Human
Computer Interaction methods within the company. It can have inferred that the staffs and the
officials at the company are to undergo a strict training on the framework that is developed for
