Jackson System Development - JSD Steps

JSD Steps

When it was originally presented by Jackson in 1982, the method consisted of six steps

  1. Entity/Action Step
  2. Initial Model Step
  3. Interactive Function Step
  4. Information Function Step
  5. System Timing Step
  6. System Implementation Step

Later, some steps were combined to create a method with only three steps.

  1. Modelling Stage (Analysis): with the Entity/Action Step and Entity Structures Step.
  2. Network Stage (Design) : with the Initial Model Step, Function Step, and System Timing Step.
  3. Implementation Stage (Realisation) : The implementation Step.

Famous quotes containing the word steps:

    “Perhaps of all our untamed quadrupeds, the fox has obtained the widest and most familiar reputation.... His recent tracks still give variety to a winter’s walk. I tread in the steps of the fox that has gone before me by some hours, or which perhaps I have started, with such a tip-toe of expectation as if I were on the trail of the Spirit itself which resides in the wood, and expected soon to catch it in its lair.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
