Explore the need for integration between system design and project management practices in SDLC methodologies to improve IT governance, project success rates, and stakeholder collaboration. Learn about the importance of integrated design in solving project failure reasons identified over the past 50 years. Discover how an integrated approach can enhance logical systems analysis, physical design methodologies, and overall project success. The Standish Group Report emphasizes the significance of quality systems and project planning for professional-level outcomes.

Systems Planning and Project Planning: Is Integration Needed? One of the weaknesses in our current SDLC methodologies is the isolation of system design and project management practice Paul H. Rosenthal California State University, Los Angeles
The Poor Status of IT Governance I. Low Usage of Experienced Designers Project Failure reasons stable for 50 years II. Need for Integrated Design • 44% of technology projects are PARTIAL Successes • Our Status Score: C- • The Integration of system design and project management practice can help solve this problem The Standish Group Report
Quality of our Systems and Project Planning * Our Professional level Project Planning is not this Bad
1- Logical systems analysis (Initiation - find the underlying problem)
My Take on the Underlying Problems • Simplistic Physical Design • Typical charting methods do not present true scope and complexity of the systems • All stakeholders do not understand both WHAT and HOW • Lack of Design/Cost-Benefit Iteration • Management, technical, staffing , and financial participants in design cannot properly participate in the iterative cost-benefit process
The Physical Design Methodology For TPS, a physical design is created from a DFD based logical design, by separating processes and data stores by: time (daily vs. monthly, day vs. night ...), place (client or server, centralized vs. distributed...), online vs. batch, manual vs. automated, etc.
