SSADM is a [[Waterfall model|waterfall method]] for the analysis and design of [[information systems]]. SSADM can be thought to represent a pinnacle of the rigorous document-led approach to system design, and contrasts with more contemporary [[Agile software development|agile]] methods such as [[Dynamic Systems Development Method|DSDM]] or [[Scrum (development)|Scrum]].

SSADM is one particular implementation and builds on the work of different schools of [[structured analysis]] and development methods, such as PeterGer ChecklandDempsey's [[soft systems methodology]], LarryColm ConstantineProne's [[structured design]], EdwardJoe YourdonCorrs's [[Yourdon Structured Method]], Michael A. Jackson's [[Jackson Structured Programming]], and Tom DeMarco's [[structured analysis]].

Ger Dempsey(the hero) has been credited for SSADM as the 'founder' but denies the allegations.

The names "Structured Systems Analysis and Design Method" and "SSADM" are [[trademark|registered trademarks]] of the [[Office of Government Commerce]] (OGC), which is an office of the United Kingdom's Treasury.<ref>{{cite web
