Answer 2

What is JAD, how does it differ from traditional methods of fact-finding, and what are some advantages and potential disadvantages of using JAD?

Joint application development or (JAD) is a popular systems development technique that uses a task force of users, managers, and IT professionals to gather information, discuss business needs, and define the new system requirements. This technique is in contrast to the traditional method of fact-finding in which the IT staff collects information from users and managers and then develops the requirements for a new system. However, compared with traditional methods, JAD is more expensive and time-consuming due to the size of the task force which can become bigger relative to the size of the project. Still, JAD can be advantageous over traditional methods because it allows for a broader and more diverse participation from the company in the requirements modeling process. This can result in a more accurate statement of system requirements, a better understanding of common goals, and a stronger commitment to the success of the new system.
