MODEL ANALISIS IMPAK PERUBAHAN KEPERLUAN PERISIAN

Software requirement changes are inevitable due to the dynamic needs of business process and environment.Such changes in requirement need to be managed accordingly by determining the influencing factors as well as assessing their impacts on the current environment through impact analysis. The analysis is accomplished by a dedicated team, namely Change Control Board (CCB). In essence, an impact analysis helps CCB to understand the potential impacts of change towards organization before implementing them. This is vital because an improper analysis may not only affect project but also organization’s sustainability. Previous studies have identified several technical and non-technical factors that should be considered during impact analysis. The factors however are isolated and disintegrated, which causes a holistic impact analysis to be difficult. This study therefore aimed to identify and integrate those factors as an integrated impact analysis model for software requirements changes. This study is qualitative in nature where the data were collacted through a focus group interview. The collected data were analysed by using content anaysis approach. The findings indicate that there are four categories of factor, namely People, Process, Technology(existing) and Organisation. Each category consists of several factors and elements, which are linked to indicate their interrelationships. The model can be used by CCB as a guide to decide the way forward for a particular requirement change request.
