“…SDMs significantly inform and shape the cognitions and actions of organisational members engaged in ISD (Hirschheim & Klein, 1989), and technical artefacts such as an SDM can act as a carrier and an important institutional embodiment serving to preserve rules by constraining the actions of human actors (Gosain, 2004). SDMs are often not used in the manner intended by method developers; in practice, SDMs are often adapted and modified to meet organisational and project exigencies (Päivärinta, Sein, & Peltola, 2010); but Thummadi and Lyytinen (2020) reinforce that research on SDMs remains current. Despite general agreement concerning the importance of understanding the systems developer‐client relationship (Majchrzak, Beath, Lim, & Chin, 2005; Markus & Bjørn‐Andersen, 1987; Milne & Maiden, 2012; Siadati et al, 2019), there has only been limited research exploring the role that SDMs can play in influencing this relationship.…”

“…So, each stage should not be done simultaneously. Thus, the difference between the waterfall method and the agile method lies in the SDLC stage [8,9]. This model also includes software development that is somewhat less iterative and flexible.…”

Achievement scholarship is one of the SDN I Glp Minyeuk Sigli programs which is managed by a school that has the aim of helping children who excel but are less well off financially in school, it is hoped that with this achievement scholarship program many children cannot afford the cost but have academic achievement can continue school without having to be confused or worry about cost issues. This achievement scholarship program is aimed at children of SDN I Glp Minyeuk Sigli in particular so that this program will manage a lot of children's data, in order to be able to manage large children's data quickly and accurately, an information system for receiving achievement scholarships is needed to help in performance so will be fast in processing, processing, and making reports. The purpose of this study was to determine the information system for the Achievement Scholarship Recipients of SDN I Glp Minyeuk Sigli, and to design a desktop-based Information System for the Achievement Scholarship Recipients of SDN I Glp Minyeuk Sigli. Based on the results of observations and the author can draw a conclusion which includes the following, namely; use of the information system for the data collection of outstanding scholarships at SDN 1 Glp. Miyeuk Sigli is expected to be able to help make Achievement Scholarship Information data that is accurate and effective, and the existence of an information system, it makes it easy for SDN 1 Glp. Miyeuk Sigli for speeding up general information and reducing errors.

“…Almeida and Simões (2019) implicitly positioned an argument on how difficult it can be for organisations to select one methodology over the other, and that there were only a few case studies as at the time of their study. Also, little is known about the extent to which any of the methodologies truly influences software design and its outcomes (Thummadi & Lyytinen, 2020). A question that that came out of Heeager and Nielsen (2018) that doesn't seems to have been empirically answered is whether certain software are better developed using a specific methodology rather than the other.…”

. This study explores Global Virtual Software Teams’ development practices and try to demystify some of the misconceptions about global software development practices based on findings from the global virtual software teams’ experiment that was carried out at DePaul University from 2011 – 2018. The moments of translation from the perspective of actor-network theory (ANT) was employed in the data analysis, to examine how development approach was selected by the global virtual teams. One of the key findings from our research is that the success of a global software development project does not have a strong dependency on the development approach. While we agree that it is one of the key influencing factors, there are other equally strong factors for global virtual software team’s success.
