COMPARISON OF WATERFALL MODELS AND PROTOTYPING MODELS OF MEETING MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Abstract

In implementing a method or algorithm on a problem. It takes a general methodology used in the development of an information system we can choose the System Development Life Cycle or SDLC as a general methodology used to develop information systems.  The SDLC itself consists of several parts or phases starting from the planning, analysis, design, implementation to system maintenance phases. The SDLC concept is widely used for software development to form a framework for planning and controlling the creation of information systems.  There are 2 SDLC models that are commonly used, including Waterfall and Prototyping.  In writing this thesis, thediscussion related to the software development model is found in Chapter 2 of Information Systems Development.  From thecomparison of the two waterfall  and prototyping models, it states  that the waterfall model  is more suitable for generic systems or software, meaning that the system can be identified all the needs of the system to be built according to the research topic chosen until the product isrun.  In the prototyping  model, it is more suitable to be used in a system or software that is created based on certain requests and needs (even situations or conditions) or that are customized. Meeting activities are routine activities that are often held, especially in a school agency, the existence of the meeting serves to find a solution to a problem that is expected to reach a consensus, solution and determine a decision. In supporting the meeting activities at Sahid Vocational High School Jakarta which are held almost every day, some problems are related to the administrative process and storage of activity files that are still not neatly arranged and centralized. In building the Information System, the supporting activities of the meeting at Sahid Vocational High School Jakarta, the author uses the waterfall method.  Model waterfall is a development used in this system, using with stages of analysis, design, code, trial, and maintenance. With the management information system  for Sahid Vocational High School Jakarta meeting activities, it is able to provide solutions, starting from the process of inputting activity data can be carried out quickly, efficiently, accurately and easily accessible anywhere, stored centrally, and can display the data needed as a whole, namely in the form of meeting agenda information, documentation of meeting results that are usually documented after the meeting activities take place.
