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:

    Painting seems to be to the eye what dancing is to the limbs. When that has educated the frame to self-possession, to nimbleness, to grace, the steps of the dancing-master are better forgotten; so painting teaches me the splendor of color and the expression of form, and as I see many pictures and higher genius in the art, I see the boundless opulence of the pencil, the indifferency in which the artist stands free to choose out of the possible forms.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
