              the new techniques to both the analysis and development
              phases. I personally led the conceptual analysis phase . For
                                                                  91
              each of the company's processes, I had drawn on a 3m x 6m
              wall all the information flows within a department, but also
              between departments. At  regular meetings,  if  anyone had
              any doubts about the flow of information, we would go to the
              wall to check it against the model. Everyone in the company
              had the same vision for the IT system. For the programming

              phase,  we  opted  for  a  new  approach  called  RAD  (Rapid
              Application  Development)  where  users  were  involved  in  all
              phases of the project.
                 The  developments  were  completed  and  tested  on
              schedule.  All  training  had  been  planned  and  the  new
              applications were put into production.

              Very often, new applications were launched on a Monday. In
              this  way,  the  teams  involved  prepare  everything  that's
              needed  over  the  weekend,  and  on  Monday  it's  off  to  the
              races. Some people call it "Black Monday". Not us. The 1st
              week was a bit difficult, but then, after tuning applications
              and system parameters, the results were conclusive.












              91   For  IT  projects,  3  different  analyses  are  carried  out:  conceptual  analysis,
                 functional analysis and technical analysis.
