3. METHODOLOGY
3.1. System Development Method
To increase the likelihood of success in software development,
it is crucial to choose an appropriate System Development Life
Cycle (SDLC) model that suits the project’s requirements. In the
case of the resident information management system, the Rapid
Application Development (RAD) model was utilized, as it was
a project requirement for a bachelor’s degree in Information
Technology. RAD is particularly useful for developing
modularized systems in a short amount of time, typically
between two to three months. By adopting the RAD model, the
development of the resident information management system
can be expedited without compromising the quality of the Figure 2. Sample Mockup of the Developed System
