Phase 1: System Definition Define goals and scope of the new info system: - Facilitate collaboration - Aid in decision making, problem solving & project management
Phase 1: System Definition Better organized and more specific columns Columns should only hold one item, so aimed search can be conducted Data must be correct Each number must be assigned to only one person This will eliminate ambiguity
Phase 2: Requirements Analysis Determine and document specific features and functions of new system Each item must have a separate column Search for single items should be as clear & easy as possible
Phase 3: Component Design Each component is designed by: – Developing alternatives – Evaluating each alternative regarding requirements – Differently structured excel sheet or new software One alternative is selected
Phase 3: Component Design Alternative 1: SHEET MUSIC / BORROWER Last nameFirst name PhonePart Mozart - Requiem - Copy 1 Mozart - Requiem - Copy 2 Mozart - Requiem - Copy 3 Mozart - Requiem - Copy 4

Phase 4: Implementations Implementing the new system is a crucial step in the life cycle Building components: – Testing – Integrating – Converting Each piece must be developed separately
Phase 4: Implementations Searching for data by: – Composer’s name – Name of student holding sheet music – Copy identifier number New software: – Installed – Tested When system proves satisfactory, user will convert
Phase 5: System Maintenance Users try ‘beta’ prototype Hardware still has a bugs and kinks to iron out Beta testing allows users to report errors Designers get feedback on what to fix and enhance the system’s performance
