Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 50 page paper takes an overall look at the processes and concepts which are useful in systems development. The paper looks at the development environment, including functional and user based approaches, the way in which information systems projects may be managed and potential models which may be utilized to manage the projects, consideration of the way that software projects may be identified and selected, the way in which requirements for the system are determined as well models which may help to guide the way in which the systems design. The bibliography cites 51 sources.

The technological environment moves at a rapid pace, the development of both hardware and software along with the needs and expectations of companies and individuals is driving forward innovations. Technology
that was once seen as being in the real of science fiction is now reality and as the boundaries are pushed there are also greater expectations of mundane everyday systems.
The development of systems may depend on many factors, such as whether they are singular systems for a single company, highly specialised, other are for a wider range of users
and need to be designed with a more generalised approach and the ability for users to customise the systems. There are many considerations to the way that information systems
projects are assessed, and undertaken, from initial conception through to design including the way needs are assessed, the way that the projects may be managed and the actual management of
the project through to the design. Each of these can be considered with the various elements discussed. 2. The Systems Development Environment
There have been a number of models emerge within the environment that can be used to assess needs and projects and the way that systems may be designed. These reflect
the changing environment and the way that the use of IT systems have been perceived, with the models gradually moving from the focus only on functionality through to a high
