Systems Development

Systems Development


Introduction:

Systems development is the process of defining, designing, testing, and implementing a new software application or program.  It could include the internal development of customized systems, the creation of database systems, or the acquisition of third party developed software. Written standards and procedures must guide all information systems processing functions. The organization’s management must define and implement standards and adopt an appropriate system development life cycle methodology governing the process of developing, acquiring, implementing, and maintaining computerized information systems and related technology.


Examination Objectives:

Determine if the board and management have established and maintained effective systems development methodology. This is accomplished through the following examination objectives:

• Board and Management Oversight – Assess the adequacy of systems development oversight by examining related policies, procedures, and methodology.

• Risk Assessment—determine the level of systems development activities existing within the institution.  If systems development activities for mission-critical systems are handled primarily through a service provider, evaluate management’s due diligence to ensure appropriate documentation and controls exist within the service provider’s development processes.  Assess the adequacy of the institution’s risk assessment process for systems development.

• Internal Controls—Evaluate the effectiveness of preventive and detective controls designed to identify material deficiencies on a timely basis. The internal audit function should identify systems development as an area for evaluation and review.

How to Talk to Users [for analyst members of a JAD team]

How to Talk to Users [for analyst members of a JAD team]


●      Encourage users to speak up. Don't assume they understand that they carry equal authority on the team.
●      Ask probing questions about how users do their work, even about points that seem obvious. Ask why they so something as well as "what" and "how."
●      Do state the obvious (once, at least). Don't assume that something is "common knowledge."
●      Ask for clarification. Don't assume you are the only one confused. If users start talking office-lingo, bring them gently back down to Earth.
●      Restate the user's points in your own words to make sure you understand each other.
●      Avoid technical explanations and computer jargon. if you must use technical terminology, provide a list of terms and definitions.
●      Mention problems that you see when you see them. Don't assume that users are not mentioning something because it's okay.
●      Be clear about your schedule for implementing features. Provide frequent opportunities to reevaluate and discuss the "to do " list.
●      Make a distinction between features which will not be implemented because they are technically impossible and those for which there simply isn't time. Be gentle when dealing with ideas which are impractical.
●      Be open to ideas and maintain a non-judgmental stance.
