Answer to Question 1

A JAD session consists of a JAD session leader, users, managers, a sponsor, systems analysts, a scribe, and information systems staff. The JAD session leader is responsible for running the session. The scribe is the individual who takes notes during the session. Users are important because they understand the current system. Managers are needed to provide insight into new organizational directions, motivations, organizational impacts of systems, and support for requirements determined during the JAD. Since new systems cost money, high-level management support is demonstrated through the appearance of a system sponsor. Attendance by this individual is usually at the beginning or ending of the session. Systems analysts are present so they can learn from the users and managers. Information systems staff can contribute ideas to the process as well as learn from it.
