What is a JAD?

JAD Definition: Joint Application Development (JAD) is a management process which helps Information System work effectively with users to develop information technology solutions that really work.

JAD Purpose: to define the project, design a solution, and monitor the project until it reaches completion.

JAD Philosophy: The JAD process is based on four simple ideas: 

• People who actually do a job have the best understanding of that job. 
• People who are trained in information technology have the best understanding of the possibilities of that technology. 
• Information systems and business processes rarely exist in isolation. They transcend the confines of any single system or office and effect work in related departments. People working in these related areas have valuable insight on the role of a system within a larger community. 
• The best information systems are designed when all of these groups work together on a project as equal partners. 

JAD Scope - The JAD should cover the complete development life cycle of a system. The JAD is usually a 3 to 6 month well-defined project. For large-scale projects, it is recommended that the project be approached incrementally, and that separate JAD's be used for each increment.
