1. Writing assignment: Write a 2-3 page report distinguishing between the 3 approaches to systems development: structured analysis (SDLC), object-oriented analysis and agile/adaptive methods. Include a description of each, what tools are used by each method and the pros and cons of each approach. Also, list and briefly describe 3 other approaches to systems development.
Format: Double-spaced between lines in your paragraphs, 1 inch margins, 12 point font. Do not double double-space between paragraphs. Remember to cite your sources, use MLA format (click here for help), put your bibliography on a separate page (not included in the 2-3 written pages). You may include the text as one of your sources.
