Abstract

This paper discusses a common problem faced by information systems management; the need to impose management controls over the system development process through the use of project management tools such as application system development methodologies (ASDMs) and the interfacing of these controls with effective information system specification and design techniques. The paper describes a standardized ASDM and examines the effect on this ASDM of five different information system specification and design techniques in common use today.
