Synopsis

Designed to provide the non-IT specialist with a user-friendly and practical guide to the various stages in the IS project lifecycle, from feasibility to implementation, monitoring and evaluation, this text utilizes a step-by-step approach. Core stages and procedures relating to the sound development of information systems for a range of cultures and socio-political environments are discussed. At the same time, pitfalls and problems are indicated, and guidelines for good practice are put forward. In this edition there is a revised focus on modern IT developments and a supported learning approch. The organization of the book is such that time wasting through reading about non-relevant (to an individual reader) issues may be avoided. Implicit in the approach of the book as a whole is the understanding that in many situations where information systems are required there is not always a lot of time to carry out in-depth planning.
