3. Structured Analysis, Design and Implementation of Information Systems (STRADIS) by Gane and Sarson
The main techniques used:
Process-oriented of function decomposition
DFD
Decision trees
Decision tables
Structure English

4. Yourdon System Method (YSM) by Ed Yourdon
Process-oriented
Event partitioning approach as compare to top-down approach (functional decomposition)
Greater emphasis on analysis of data if compared to STRADIS

5. Information Engineering (IE) by James Martin and Clive Finkelstein
More emphasis on data
Data-oriented entity-relationship approach
Extended to planning phase as the first step in the methodology

6. Structured Systems Analysis and Design Method (SSADM) by Learmonth and Burchett
A standard in most UK government applications
Modern version of the traditional IS development life cycle
DFD
Entity life histories
Recommends the use of CASE tools and workbenches

7. Merise Widely used in France
Consider equally important of process and data aspects and analyzed and designed in parallel

8. Jackson Structured Design (JSD) by Michael Jackson
Had a profound effect on the teaching and practice commercial computer programming
It concentrates on the design of efficient and well-tested software which reflects the specification
It has links with formal methods
More applicable to applications where efficiency is paramount—for example in process control applications

9. Coad and Yourdon’s Object-oriented Analysis
It reflects the view that in defining objects and their component parts (attributes) we capture the essential building blocks of information systems
It is a unifying approach, as analysis and design can be undertaken following this approach
Applications developed using object programming languages and CASE tools
Leads to consistency throughout

10. Information Systems Work and Analysis (ISAC) by Mats Lunderberg (Scandinavia)
Seeks to identify the fundamental causes of users’ problems and suggests ways to overcome
Analyze the activities and the initiation of change processes
People-oriented approach with emphasis on the analysis of change and the change processes
Solution not necessarily use of computer information system

11. Effective Technical and Human Implementation of Computer-based Systems (ETHICS) by Enid Mumford
People-oriented based on participation
Attempts to embody a sound ethical position
It encompasses the socio-technical view
The technology must fit closely with the social and organizational factors in application domain

12. Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) by Peter Checkland
Influenced by System approach
Its rationale is that the properties of whole system are not entirely understandable in terms of the properties of the constituent elements
“the whole is greater than the sum of the parts”
Present the fuzzy and ill-structured situation not just technological problems

13. Multiview Hybrid: SSM, ETHICS, process modeling and data modeling
A contingency approach: techniques and tools being used as the problem situation demand

14. Process Innovation by Devenport
Tie business process re-engineering with information technology and information systems
IT being seen as the primary enabler of process innovation as it gives an opportunity to change processes completely

15. Rapid Application Development (RAD)
The need to develop IS more quickly
It based on the evolutionary, prototyping approach
Enabled by using CASE and system repository
User requirements are often determined through JAD

16. The Expert Systems Approach (KADS)
The outcome of a European Union ESPRIT research project
A comprehensive, commercially viable methodology for knowledge-based system construction
Use to Develop Expert systems

17. Euromethod Results from a European initiative
It is more a framework for planning, procurement and management of services for the investigation, development or amendment of IS a methodology
