Abstract

Systems development methodologies have been developed with the purpose of designing and developing effective information systems. This paper looks at different types of systems development methodologies with particular emphasis being placed on how the human component and other stakeholders are involved or catered for. One general critical flaw we have identified in these processes is that the interface design is not effectively conducted or implemented, but neither are the many other stakeholder issues addressed. This paper investigates this lack of attention and recommend some improvements.
