1.2 Introduction to Information System Methodology
The development of an information system is a significant and complex activity for almost every organisation, this activities requires, substantial investments of time and money in anticipation of improvements in efficiency or effectiveness of business operations.

Over the years, there has been some debate about whether the term ‘methodology’, which literally means “the study of methods”, can be used to explain a particular methodological approach to information systems. Jayaratna (1994) emphasises that a methodology provides an “explicit way of structuring” systems development.
