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:

    “The process of education in the oldest profession in the world is like any other educational process, in that it requires time and effort and patience; it can only be acquired by taking one step at a time, though the steps become accelerated after the first few.”
    —Madeleine [Blair], U.S. prostitute and “madam.” Madeleine, ch. 4 (1919)
