Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Joint application development (JAD) is a collaborative and structured approach to gather requirements by bringing together stakeholders from various departments of an organization. This approach encourages the participation of all relevant parties in defining and agreeing on project requirements, timelines, and deliverables. JAD sessions help combine information from various perspectives, resolve discrepancies and build consensus among participants. Document analysis, observations, and questionnaires cannot achieve the same level of collaborative information gathering as JAD. Although interviews can gather information from multiple perspectives, they may not build consensus as effectively as JAD sessions.
