Discuss the three groups that participate in systems development.

What will be an ideal response?


System professionals are systems analysts, systems engineers, database designers, and programmers.  These individuals actually build the system.

End users are those for whom the system is built.  There are many users at all levels in an organization.  These include managers and operations personnel, including accountants.  During systems development, systems professionals work with primary users to obtain an understanding of users' problems and a clear statement of their needs.

Stakeholders are individuals who have an interest in the system but are not formal end users.  These include the internal steering committee and internal and external auditors. Stakeholders work with the development team to ensure user's needs are met, adequate internal controls are designed into the systems and that the systems development process itself is properly implemented and controlled.
