Stage 4: Selection of Technical Systems Options

Abstract

Much of the work carried out in Stage 4 can be thought of as relating to the guidelines within project management as much as to SSADM, and thus the methods used to produce, for example, the performance objectives, may differ from project to project. In terms of SSADM there is a need for interaction with project management and other expertise to provide the information required to shape the Technical Systems Options. The main aim of this stage is to provide a firm basis for development of the system.
