ABSTRACT
The result of Phase A is a formalized systems concept that includes a (1) clear problem formulation and list of user requirements, (2) rudimentary but well-conceptualized systems solution, (3) elemental plan in the project proposal, and (4) agreement between the customer and the contractor about all of these. The project is now ready to move on to the “middle” and “later” phases of the systems development cycle and bring the systems concept to fruition.
