What is the purpose of the Analysis stage?	Overviews the information collected and helps create the Requirement Specification
Why do we need a Requirement Specification?	It shows what features the new system needs to provide and must be clear and agreed by both the Analyst and the Manager
What is in the Requirement Specification?	Input R's Output R's Processing R's Hardware R's Software R's Clients (Managers) Agreement
What is a Data Flow Diagram?	shows the movement of data through a system. It can be used to show how information changes and also highlight inefficiencies

Advantage and Disadvantage of a Direct Changeover	A- No need to copy databases or hardware D- Workers may need time to get used to the new system
Advantage and Disadvantage of a Parallel Changeover	A- Allows workers to become comfortable with new system D- Need to copy data and hardware
Advantage and Disadvantage of a Pilot Changeover	A- Can be switched over in sections (Departments) so others can help each other D- Takes Time
Advantage and Disadvantage of a Phased Changeover	A- Helps staff get used to the new way of working D- Takes time and hard to sync new and old systems
