    JAD stands for Joint Application Development.

    users, software architects and developers attend intense off-site

    meetings to work out a systems details. It focuses on the business

    problem rather than technical details and is most applicable to the

    FOUR SIMPLE IDEASThe JAD process is based on

    1. People who actually do a job have the best understanding

    2. Trained people in information technology have the best

    understanding

    3. Information systems and business processes transcend the

    confines of any single system or office

    4. The best information systems are designed when all of these

    groups work together on a project as equal partners
