The Joint Application Design (JAD) methodology could potentially be considered a better information gathering methodology compared to more traditional information gathering approaches given its highly structured approach to capturing and validating data. The highly methodical nature of the application design technique that concentrates on identifying critical success factors, project deliverables, scheduling workshop activities, and organizing workshops are all based on information and knowledge transfer (Davidson, 1999). The potential of the JAD technique to increase the level of participation on the part of project participants while also reducing the time and costs associated with the actual research process (Jackson, Embley, 1996). The JAD technique has also shown significant value in bringing experts in specific areas together and gaining useful insights as a result (Davidson, 1999). Another advantage of the JAD technique is its ability to integrate results into development frameworks including Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE), a well-known methodology used for accelerating software development (Jackson, Embley, 1996). The JAD technique can also have Six Sigma- based methodologies and measures of performance integrated within its architecture, allowing for quantification of performance gains over time. Due to its integrative nature and agility to in translating requirements into specifications, the JAD methodology is increasingly used throughout complex software and technology-related development projects. For all its advantages, the JAD methodology has significant shortcomings incouding the following. First, this approach to collecting requirements and information requires an intensive level of participation and continual contribution on the part of everyone involved in the process (Jackson, Embley, 1996). Second, this approach is not as well suited to capture both explicit and tacit knowledge throughout an organization; it is designed to operate on the former most effectively with not as much support for the latter. Third, this approach, while highly structured, is not as agile in structure and approach as other methodologies for capturing and integrating requirements into a development project and context.
