APPLICA TION AND CONVERSION PLANNING
Figure 05.3 is the Activity List for your Applica-
tion Development Plan. This corresponds to the
Activity List for your General Installation Plan.
Similarly, Figure 05.4 is the Activity Time Esti-
mates for your Application Development Plan.
The Application Development Plan is, in general,
composed of three items:
1. Analysis
a. Review of present system
b. Designing reports and card layouts
c. Flowcharting
2. Evaluation
a. Establishinent of controls
b. Management review
3. Programming of the application
The most important steps in this process are,
once more, the earliest: Analysis and Evaluation.
If
these items are complete, that is,
if
the indiv-
iduals and groups involved agree with what you
propose, the remainder of the installation effort
will be relatively free from serious problems.
Figures 05.5 and 05.6 are, respectively, the
Activity List and Activity Time Estimates for the
Conversion Plan.
Notice that the discussion of the Application
Development Plan so far has not included program-
ming. The question, how will the programming be
carried to completion, will be discussed next.
