The analysis phase has three steps:
1. An analysis strategy is developed to guide the project team’s efforts. This startegy needs to include an analysis of the current system and its problems. This will help identitfy the design of the new system .
2. The next step requires the gathering (e.g., through interviews or questionnaires of the needs that the new system will require to perform). The set of models typically includes models created by this information that represent the data and processes necessary to support the underlying business process.
3. The analyses, system concept, and models are combined into a document called the system proposal, which is presented to the project sponsor and other key decision makers (e.g., members of the approval committee) who decide whether the project should continue to move forward.
