System development, Steps for a suitable system development methodology, reasons and recommendation

 Question

During a recent department workshop you participated in a project of coming up with a new human resource management system for the department. However, during the process, you realized that the department needed a simple and small system to use as they understand their requirements; secondly you realized that the users were not that knowledgeable in their daily operations, so the requirements from them were ambiguous and volatile

 With a clear illustration discuss the steps of a suitable system development methodology that would fit the situation of your department.      

What are the reasons for and against your choice in (a) above.

Apart from the situation above, under what other circumstances would you recommend the same methodology of system development?

a)

Systems development is the process of defining, designing, testing, and implementing a new software application or program (Wynn, and Clarkson, 2018). It could include the internal development of customized systems, the creation of database systems, or the acquisition of third party developed software.

In the given case, the workshop informed us of the need for the coming up with a human resource management system for the department and envisages the need for a small human resources management system, to include  a suite of systems used to manage human resources and related processes throughout the employee lifecycle (Zeebaree and Hussan, 2019). This would be aimed at enabling a company to fully understand its workforce while staying compliant with changing tax laws and labor regulations.
