An Analysis of Systems Development Methods: Structured, Agile, and OOP

This report delves into three primary systems development methods: structured analysis, object-oriented analysis, and agile methods. The structured analysis method focuses on analyzing business requirements for software and hardware specifications, with an example of its use in software development. The object-oriented analysis method, exemplified by its application in finance and accounting for ERP system implementation, models systems throughout their lifecycle. Finally, the agile method, which involves both software developers and consumers, is examined for its role in the software development process. The report concludes by highlighting the suitability of each method based on specific project needs and business environments, emphasizing the importance of adapting the analysis approach to the specific requirements of the project.

2SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT METHODS
1 Introduction
The prime determination of this paper is to focus on three different categories of
development methods such as the structured analysis method, object oriented analyses method
and agile method. Instances of each methods will be also presented in the paper as well.
2.1 Structured analysis method
The structured analysis method is defined as one of the system development method
which are used to analyze the business requirements of the project and development of the
required software and hardware specifications. The functions and services required in the
developmental phase can be identified using this method.
2.1.1 Instance
This analysis method can be useful in the development of the software as the business
requirements may keep on changing, this method can be used to get the desired service from the
new softwares.
2.2 Object-Oriented analysis method
The object oriented analysis method are used to model the system and domain through
the entire life cycle of the product (Dennis, Wixom & Tegarden, 2015). The service provided by
the IS in the business environment can use this analysis method to find the usability of the
system.

3SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT METHODS
2.2.1 Instance
The object oriented analysis method can be applied in the business industries such as the
finance and accounting industry where new Information System such as the ERP system is
implemented.
2.3 Agile method
The agile analysis method is defined as the type of analysis method which are applied on
the agile software development process, this analysis technique is different from the other
analyzing techniques (Dingsøyr et al., 2018). The users of the software, potential usage of the
software, details of the domain problem are considered in this analysis method.
2.3.1 Instance
This analysis method can be used in the software development process, this analysis
involves both the software developers and the consumers of the products so that there are very
less issues associated with the software after it has been delivered.
3. Conclusion
The paper is concludes the use of different analysis methods such as agile method which
can be used for the products which requires the knowledge of both technical experts and
customers. Object oriented analysis method can be used regarding the implementation of new IS
in a business environment whereas the structured analysis method can be used in the software
development process.
