Preparing for Design › Design Team Selection

Design Team Selection

The membership for the design organization should come from the following functional organizations:

• The Information Management function—Systems designers should be experienced with system development in general and design techniques in particular.
• The user community—User representatives should be able to determine end user needs and help designers translate those needs into the design. Some or all of the user representatives who participated in analysis should also participate in design.

In organizations with a formal quality program in place, the design team also needs access to a quality assurance coordinator from within the organization. This will ensure that the resulting system meets the organization's quality standards.
