JOINT APPLICATION DESIGN (JAD) & DEVELOPMENT

The design and development of Ohio SACWIS used an "iterative" approach. The large business processes were divided into smaller, logical pieces. Each piece came to life through the Joint Application Design and Development (JAD) process. The JAD Sessions elaborated each use case (ex. Worker Creates Intake Referral) developed in the Rapid Requirements Definition (RRD) Session to create the details necessary to develop the software components (i.e., Inputs, Outputs, Detailed Business Rules).
