How far should users participate to a system development project?

Question

In terms of a system development project, consisting of planning, design, security and in general, etc

Answer 1

You first need to set a goal for completion and plan accordingly. Depending on the complexity of the system it could be six weeks or six years. You first need to define what you are doing and use that to determine a length of time. Depending on their responsiblity each user can then set a reasonable amount of time and plan accordingly.

Hope this helps.
