10 The 10 Golden Rules of Systems Analysis 301
10.1 Introduction 301
10.2 Rule 1: There Always Is a Client 302
10.3 Rule 2: Your Client Does Not Understand His Own Problem 303
10.4 Rule 3: The Original Problem Statement is too Specific: You
Must Generalize the Problem to Give it Contextual Integrity 304
10.5 Rule 4: The Client Does Not Understand the Concept of the
Index of Performance 306
10.6 Rule 5: You are the Analyst, Not the Decision-Maker 309
10.7 Rule 6: Meet the Time Deadline and the Cost Budget 310
10.8 Rule 7: Take a Goal-Centered Approach to the Problem, Not
a Technology-Centered or Chronological Approach 311
10.9 Rule 8: Nonusers Must be Considered in the Analysis and
in the Final Recommendations 312
10.10 Rule 9: The Universal Computer Model is a Fantasy 314
10.11 Rule 10: The Role of Decision-Maker in Public Systems is
Often a Confused One 314
