Organizing for Design

The membership for the design organization should come from the:

• Information Management function-Systems designers should be experienced with system development in general and design techniques in particular.
• 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 access will help ensure that the resulting system meets the organization's quality standards.
