System Documentation : System documentation serves as the technical specifications for the IS and how the objectives of the IS are accomplished. Users, MANAGERS and IS owners need never reference system documentation. System documentation provides the basis for understanding the technical aspects of the IS when modifications are made.

• It describes each program within the IS and the entire IS itself.
• It describes the system’s functions, the way they are implemented, each program's purpose within the entire IS with respect to the order of EXECUTION, information passed to and from programs, and overall system flow.
• It includes data dictionary entries, data flow diagrams, object models, screen layouts, source documents, and the SYSTEMS request that initiated the project.
• Most of the system documentation is prepared during the system analysis and system DESIGN phases.
• During systems implementation, an analyst must review system documentation to verify that it is complete, accurate, and up-to-date, and including any CHANGES made during the implementation process.
