The document discusses the Joint Application Development (JAD) methodology. JAD involves clients in the design and development process through a series of collaborative workshops called JAD sessions. This contrasts with the traditional waterfall approach where developers investigate requirements through interviews before developing the application. Key aspects of JAD include identifying a skilled facilitator, having management sponsorship, capturing discussions through a scribe, and preparing for sessions by ensuring time commitment and support. Benefits of JAD include accelerated design, enhanced quality, and lowered costs through improved teamwork and a customer-focused perspective.

JOINT APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT
(JAD) METHODOLOGY
The Joint Application Development (JAD) methodology-to
involve the client in the design and development of an
application.
This is accomplished through a series of collaborative
workshops called JAD sessions.
In contrast to the waterfall approach,JAD is thought to lead
to shorter development times and greater client throughout
the development process.
On the other hand, with the traditional approach to systems
development, the developer investigates the system
requirements and develops an application,with client input
consisting of a series of interviews.
Definition Joint Application
Devlopment(JAD)
Joint Applicaton Development (JAD) is a
process that accelerates the design of
information technology solutions.
JAD uses customer involvement and
group dynamics to accurately depict the
user's view of the business need and to
jointly develop a solution.
JAD PARTICIPANTS
FACILITATOR
The JAD facilitator is the key person in the team and is
responsible for the planning, execution and managing the
project.
Choosing a facilitator is the first important step.
He /she should be a respected, skillful leader with a good
reputation within the organization.
JAD facilitator skills do not happen by chance and the skills may
have to be learnt. JAD experience is also necessary.
It is not a position for to be entered into lightly and not for the
faint-hearted. Choosing a poor JAD facilitator may mean the
difference between a good project and a poor one.
The facilitator will know how to handle people, to be able to get
the best out of them.
Management Sponsor
For any computer project to succeed will require the backing of
management.
It is very important for the JAD team to have a management
sponsor.
The person may be a divisional head or manager of the business
area that the JAD project is addressing.
The sponsor does not have to actively participate in every JAD
session. It might be advisable to attend the first and perhaps the
final JAD session to review the results and make comments.
The JAD facilitator will work closely with the management
sponsor and be kept fully briefed on progress.
The sponsor can be from the end user community but also
equally it may be CIO or an End user Vice President.
SCRIBE
The scribe participates in JAD discussions to clarify points and
capture them correctly.
The scribe may ask the facilitator to stop the process whenever
necessary to review, obtain clarifications, or offer rephrasing.
The scribe should not be required to participate in the ongoing
discussions as an IT representative or user representative.
The scribe should never double as the facilitator.

Scribes have the following responsibilities in the JAD process:-


I. Ensure that the results of JAD sessions are documented and
delivered as planned.
II. Serve as a partner to the facilitator before, during, and after the
workshop.
III. Provide reference and review information for the facilitator.
Information Specialists

Information specialists are there to assist the end users


and develop a design according to the end users' needs.
Under the direction of the JAD facilitator, Information
specialists after discussing the requirements will need to
create prototypes.
They can also advise end users on new technology or
hardware that can assist in the technical
implementation. They need to understand the
organization and the business area involved.
Information specialists should be good listeners and be
able to empathize with end users.
PREPARING FOR THE JAD
SESSIONS

Time commitment – ½ day to several weeks.


Strong management support is needed to
release key participants from their usual
responsibilities.
Careful planning is essential.
BENEFITS OF JAD
The JAD approach provides the following
benefits:
Accelerates design.
Enhances quality.
Promotes teamwork with the customer.
Creates a design from the customer's
perspective.
Lowers development and maintenance costs.
 
JAD Meeting Room
CONCLUSION
JAD is used as a technique for developing business system
requirements and is typically used in the early stages of a
systems development project.
When JAD is introduced motivation and performance
improve dramatically.
Because JAD focuses on analyzing the task and providing a
solution, it has benefits in performance and motivation of
the individuals taking part. This is due to the following
factors.:-
I. Being involved in the detailed planning .
II. Group dynamics .
III.Obtaining results .
IV.Solving problems for other people .
