Presentation

Additional information

When planning for a new system, the context in which it will be used is important to be understood. Context = background, environment, framework, setting, or situation surrounding an system.

Two important considerations when considering a new system’s context are: – The extent of the new system – The limitations of the new system

Stakeholders

A stakeholder is a person with an interest or concern in something especially a businessA stakeholder is someone who might be:

  • Using a system
  • Supporting a system
  • Realizing benefits from a system.
  • The organization or person paying for the system

You must be careful to identify all the possible relevant stakeholders and consider their needs and desires for the new system as well. A system must meet the need of the stakeholders who use it.
