This page shows the development approach options described in the Princeton Development Methodology. The development approach is the route map that will be followed in the development, purchase, and implementation of an administrative system for Princeton University. The following routes are included in the Princeton Development Methodology:

Purchasing a Software Package
Use this route for new systems that will be purchased as a packaged solution to a business objective. If the package is to be used by multiple users or multiple departments, or includes a medium to large amount of functionality, use this route.

Building a Large System
Use this route for in-house development of new systems, including all client/server systems intended for use by multiple users or multiple departments.

Building a System Off-Site
Use this route for new systems that will be developed, in whole or in part, off-site, by a consulting firm under contract.

Purchasing a Small Software Package
Use this route for new systems that will be purchased as a packages solution to a business objective. If the package is to be used by one or two users, or a single, small department, but must interface with other University systems, use this route.

Building a Small System
Use this route for in-house development of small, new systems, including client/server systems intended for use by one or two users, or a single, small department.
