SYSTEM ANALYSIS
Introduction
This report is about the development of an information system for the business of a
company. The case of Free Feet Socks Limited is being discussed in this report. The company is
looking to expand their businesses with the expansion in the number of customer for the
business. But currently the company makes use of the old system in which all the task of the
have to be performed manually. But this involves a lot of delay and complex procedures. Hence,
for the company the owner has adopted the strategy to implement an information system for the
company so that they can perform their task in a simpler manner. In addition to this, the owner of
the company wants to implement the system with the use of adaptive methodology.
The report has been used for the discussion of the different approaches of adaptive
methodologies that can be implemented by the company for the development of the information
system for the company. The advantages and the disadvantages of the Scrum, XP and UP models
have been provided in this report.
Scrum Methodology
The scrum model is one of the very efficient model that is used as an adaptive
methodology for the development of the information system for the company. Scrum isn't only a
system; it is a structure that must be shaped as required by the real venture where it is being
utilized. The Scrum model is helpful for the project team as this model aids in the group in
designing of the project and also this model is very useful in saving time and money for the
organization. This model also keeps the employees and the staffs of the companies focused on
their projects.

Advantages
 The scrum method helps in sparing time and cash for the association.
 This models empowers clear perception of the venture advancement with consistent
gatherings.
 This is an iterative technique and requires constant input shape the clients.
 This enhances the profitability of the part in the gathering.
 It is less demanding for the organization to adapt up to the adjustments in this model.
 Simpler to convey quality item in the planned time with the assistance of this technique.
Disadvantages
 The best impediment of this model is the Scope creep. This model isn't good for ventures
that don't have a settled timetable and spending plan.
 The model is likewise not appropriate for the bigger ventures.
 In this model the gathering should be exceptionally dedicated towards the venture. If not
there are chances that the venture may come up short.
 The nature of the task may be traded off now and again in this, sort of models.
XP Methodology
XP model is also known as Extreme Programing. It is a very important adaptive
methodology that ca be used for the development of the information system. It shares every
Agile guideline including solid consumer inclusion into the product improvement process, great
responsiveness in the group. In Extreme Programming model the client contribution into the
procedure of programming advancement is amazingly high. It is significantly higher than in
other Agile systems. The client for the organization is benefited from this model as the model is

focused on the development of the client. It provides great monetary benefits for the organization
as well.
Advantages
 This procedure enables the associations to spare a great deal monetarily and furthermore
this strategy helps in diminishing the time that is required for the finishing of the
undertaking.
 This strategy for the most part concentrates on the conveyance of the undertakings.
 This strategy makes utilization of exceptionally insignificant documentation methods.
 This strategy additionally upgrades the effortlessness of the tasks.
Disadvantages
 This procedure enables the associations to spare a ton monetarily and furthermore this
strategy helps in lessening the time that is required for the fruition of the venture.
 This strategy by and large concentrates on the conveyance of the activities.
 This technique makes utilization of exceptionally insignificant documentation
methodology.
 This strategy additionally upgrades the effortlessness of the tasks.
UP Methodology
The UP methodology is also known as the Unified Process Model or the Unified
Software Development Process. Unified process (UP) is a use case driven, design driven,
iterative and incremental improvement process that provides various type of benefits to the
organization. the UP model is associated with the designing and documentation of the plans used

SYSTEM ANALYSIS
for the implementation of the projects. This model is very beneficial for the company as this
provides a clear idea in front of the staffs and the employee of the company.
Advantages
 This model gives the total documentation to the data framework advancement and
furthermore gives the entire approach to the improvement of the framework.
 The strategy additionally settle the dangers associated with the ventures and the likewise
performs effective hazard moderation strategies.
 This technique requires less time for mix with a current framework.
 The technique is simple and a utilized one.
Disadvantages
 The associates ought to be ace in their field to develop an item under this methodology.
 The procedure of advancement in this model is somewhat intricate.
 On cutting edge wanders which utilize new development, the reuse of portions won't be
possible. Thus, the proficient one could have made will be hard to fulfill.
 Because of the mix methodology the greater venture can endure because of the
complexities.
Recommendations
For the project that is being discussed in this report, it is recommended that the scrum
model be used. The model is very efficient for the development of the information system and
also provides the company the option to reduce the cost and time for the development of the
system.

Subject: plan for the development of the Human Computer Interaction
This is to inform the owner about the disadvantages of the current system and the need
for the new Information system to be implemented. Additionally, the system should also be
integrated very efficiently with the system. Be that as it may, the assets accessible to the
organization are insufficient. Henceforth, there are prerequisite of establishment of new
frameworks for the organization.
The organization needs some new frameworks so the new Information system wanted by
the organization for the expansion of proficiency in the business technique can be executed
effectively. As per the Technology Acceptance Model there are two factors on which the
acknowledgment of a data framework is reliant on and those components are the apparent
convenience and saw usability in pertinence to the practices of the uses of a computer device. It
seems convenience is the likelihood that the usage of the framework would upgrade the
exhibitions of the staffs in the workplace and Ease of utilization is characterized as how much
the endeavors of the clients of the framework are diminished and furthermore the helpfulness of
the framework is characterized. Be that as it may, the fundamental issue in regards to the usage
of the framework is the set number of frameworks accessible to the organization to coordinate

SYSTEM ANALYSIS
the new framework and furthermore for the joining of the gadgets with the new framework.
Consequently, 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 acclimated to the framework. This would expand the simplicity of the
utilization of the framework for the clients and furthermore the general proficiency of framework
would be expanded.
Conclusively it can be said that there are additional requirements that the company needs
t meet along with the implementation of the information system. Consequently, there is
prerequisite of executing new gadgets into the framework and the staffs in the organization ought
to experience some prescribed preparing of the framework with the goal that they would be very
much acclimated to the framework and they exhibitions of the representatives would be ideal.
Consequently, a point by point 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 with the goal that the information about the
framework can be effortlessly assessed. The staffs are only to be allotted in their respective
position in the organization after passing through all the required attributes for the organization.
