Shouldn't this be Structured Systems Analysis and Design Methodology? That is what is was called when I studied it, never method. [[User:Greenwood|Greenwood]] ([[User talk:Greenwood|talk]]) 01:36, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

:It was originally released as ''Structured Systems Analysis and Design Methodology'', and is how I always think of it, although current references to it on the OGC websites that refer to it have dropped he 'ology'. <small><span style="border:1px solid #666;padding:1px;">[[User:Greyskinnedboy|<b style="color:#666">Greyskinnedboy</b>]] [[User_talk:Greyskinnedboy|<b style="color:#FFF;background:#666">&nbsp;Talk&nbsp;</b>]]</span></small> 05:09, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

When I taught and consulted in SSADM in the early 90s it was always method, not methodology. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2A00:23C0:1200:B001:6C1B:3359:FCD0:69F|2A00:23C0:1200:B001:6C1B:3359:FCD0:69F]] ([[User talk:2A00:23C0:1200:B001:6C1B:3359:FCD0:69F#top|talk]]) 17:52, 23 November 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Rollback of 15-February 2011. ==

I could see no reason for the removal of the section on the history of SSADM so I reverted it. If you feel that the section is not relevant to the artle, please seek consensus. I for one believe that the history has a place in the article. [[User:Martinvl|Martinvl]] ([[User talk:Martinvl|talk]]) 11:51, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

== Potential copyright breach? ==

The first paragraph has been copied word for word from the '''SSADM website''', has this been cleared with them?

:Another in [[Structured systems analysis and design method#Stage 3 .E2.80.93 Requirements specification|4.4]], which leads me to believe that part or all of the [[Structured systems analysis and design method#Stages|Stages]] section may have been copied from an educational specification.

== Link-rot in external references ==

I'm afraid the page referred to at "Introduction to Methodologies and SSADM" https://at-web1.comp.glam.ac.uk/pages/staff/tdhutchings/chapter4.html has gone away (404). I haven't removed the reference, just in case someone knows where the replacement can be found. [[User:OldBoar|OldBoar]] ([[User talk:OldBoar|talk]]) 13:21, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
