Collecting Information About Current Systems

Information about current systems is needed for reviewing their usefulness and performance, and for more detailed current systems analysis. The information should be available from those who currently maintain the system, and from those who use it and verified it as complete and up-to-date.

The information needed includes:

• System and data structure, which covers the procedures supported and types of data that are stored, available as definitions and data flow diagrams within user and operations manuals.
• Support and maintenance history, and outstanding enhancement requests.
