Analysis Paralysis: when to stop?

Software Engineering 2009-03-31 v1

Abstract

Analysis of a system constitutes the most important aspect of the systems development life cycle.But it is also the most confusing and time consuming of all the stages.The critical question always remains: How much and till when to analyse? Ed Yourdon has called this phenomenon as Analysis Paralysis. In this paper, I suggest a model which can actually help in arriving at a satisfactory answer to this problem.
