Phase I (Sep 92 - Jun 93): Design

' ... The team often added new fields to existing tables, rather than partially redesign the database. Although they did re-design in part at one point, this seems to be insufficient because there are performance problems and the Sybase review of the database is rather negative.

But, the team did not fail to prepare before building models. There were interviews to gather requirements. The outline design, which included the content of screens and bullet points on the processing, was prepared before the first design workshops. Although it was not available to review, I believe there was also an initial database design diagram. To make up for the team's inexperience, the project manager asked Powerbuilder and Sybase consultants to review the system.'
