  1. School of Computing FACULTY OF Engineering COMP3470 IS33 People-Centred Information Systems Development Module Leader: Lydia Lau Lectures: Wed 11-12 in LT4 Thu 2-3 in LT4 Pre-requisites: LUBS2150 (or equivalent) IS33 Introduction

  2. Objectives (as in handbook) • Demonstrate an understanding of the ‘people issues’ • Evaluate approaches to information systems development in terms of ‘people issues’ • Specify the organisational, physical and job context into which computer-based IS have to fit • Determine the impact on job design of IS design • Identify non-technical causes of IS failure and its prevention IS33 Introduction

  3. Why are people issues important? • A brief history of IS evolution: 60s - mainframe 70s - mainframe /minis /DBMS /(ARPANET) 80s - office automation, PCs, LANs late 80s/ early 90s – BPR, enterprise-wide systems 90s - the Net, WWW, knowledge management systems, e-commerce late 90s /early 21stC – e-communities, e-government, Now - mobiles/PDAs; Wii /digital TVs…etc IS33 Introduction

  4. What is P-C? Individual HCI ergonomics People- centred Group CSCW Organisation Society culture business processes legal knowledge management ethics diversity health professionalism IS33 Introduction

  5. What is ISD? socio-tech IS development methodologies soft system user-centred prototyping techniques UML ethnography rich picture mock-up scenarios IS33 Introduction

  6. So, P-C ISD is HCI socio-tech Individual ergonomics • Need to ask Why? What? When? How? and Who? soft system methodologies user-participation People-centred IS development Group CSCW prototyping techniques Organisation culture UML business processes ethnography Society knowledge management rich picture mock-up ethics legal scenarios diversity health IS33 Introduction
