SSADM: A Practical Handbook (Computer Weekly Professional)

This practical book covers SSADM version 4 for those who are new to it and who are looking for a common sense approach. It offers a step-by-step examination of what happens throughout the development cycle and relates this to the SSADM techniques needed for each step. It also covers each technique in detail in language which will not have anyone reaching for a dictionary of computing terms or a bottle of headache pills! It identifies which are the key techniques and which ones might only be needed for mammoth software projects.
This book sets out to cover Version 4 of SSADM fully, including all the modules, stages, steps and tasks that comprise SSADM; a complete case study to illustrate SSADM techniques and an explanation of how these techniques interface with PRINCE, the project management methodology. Now, for the first time, here's a SSADM book with a difference - a book which includes an overview of PRINCE, together with references to PRINCE activities within SSADM steps. Combine SSADM and PRINCE without losing the power of either. Let this book show you how.
After the overviews of SSADM and PRINCE the book is split into two sections: the first is a description of each of the stages in SSADM and the steps and tasks to be carried out, the second is a description of the major techniques used in SSADM.
