SSADM

Structured Systems Analysis And Design Method

Category: Partial Type 2 Methodology

Comments: SSADM (Structured Systems Analysis And Design Method) is another method dealing with information systems design. It was developed in the UK by CCT (Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency) in the early 1980's. It is the UK government's standard method for carrying out the systems analysis and design stages of an information technology project. SSADM has been traditionally used for the development of medium or large systems. However, one variant of SSADM is 'Micro SSADM' which is for small systems. SSADM starts from defining the information system strategy and then develops a feasibility study module. These are followed by requirements analysis, requirements specification, logical system specification and a final physical system design.
