Understanding Miscommunication in Systems Development

By • • Teaching • , , , • 3 minutes of reading

By Shahabuddin Amerudin In the realm of systems analysis and design, miscommunication can significantly hinder project success. A recent cartoon humorously captures this reality by showcasing the differing perspectives of various stakeholders—including users, analysts, designers, and programmers—regarding the goals of a project. These differing views often lead to outcomes that diverge from the original intent, resulting in a product that may not fulfill user expectations. The cartoon opens with the user’s request, depicted as a simple swing constructed with one rope. This image represents the user’s desire for a functional and minimalistic design. However, it highlights a common issue: users […]
