by David Avison (Author), Guy Fitzgerald (Author). ISBN-13: 978-0077096267. The book is ideal for business analysts, system developers and business strategists. The descriptions of these methodologies, techniques and tools are clear, brief and complete. A framework is also provided for the comparison of different methodologies.

David Avison, Guy Fitzgerald. Information Systems Development has been adopted as the key text for many information systems, business and management, and computer science courses. The book has seven parts which relate to the Information Systems Development Context, the Systems Development Lifecycle, Themes of Systems Development, Techniques, Methodologies, Tools and Toolsets and finally Issues and Frameworks. This structure enables flexible use, either sequentially or by selecting sections or chapters to fit the specific needs of particular courses and favoured approaches.

Information system development methodologies for complex management support systems require the information analyst to utilize concepts and techniques which are frequently viewed as being too intangible and abstract. The analyst's knowledge and techniques must accommodate the increased variations and complexities which commonly exist for management support systems at all levels of management.

Since information is such a precious commodity, Avison and Fitzgerald present a theory-to-practice book on information systems and how organizations (from all levels) can benefit from the use of an information systems development perspective. The authors give historical, academic, and practical view of the many methodologies and levels of systems thinking within information systems including the strengths, weaknesses, criticisms, and flaws of the many components that are a part of an information system.
The biggest appreciation for this book would be the authors’ ability to explain why those dealing in information systems will find having systems perspective will prove beneficial. For the most part, information systems develop informally through a combination of experience, mimicking others, and overall a very ad hoc method. What Avison and Fitzgerald propose is trying to understand the circumstances of why and how particular methodologies of information systems develop bring the entire system into perspective. Additionally, the authors go further than other textbooks to give outlines on how to approach the parts of information systems including the people, the technology, and the processes for practical applications.
Any criticism of Avison and Fitzgerald’s book would be the lack of academic terminology that would connect information systems development with the larger fields of organizational theory and/or systems theory. Having such a connection would give a systemic view of information systems in the overall scope of systems that would benefit from readers coming from a more academic than practical route.

I'd put this on the "must-read" list for I.T. project managers and business analysts who want to expand their perspective beyond personal experience. Avison and Fitzgerald's book gives you historic and industry-wide views of methodologies. You'll find it amply illustrated and easy to read.
