Otherwise, they will feel that you are trying to tell them how to do their jobs.” Others say, “Systems analysts should let users know what information can be obtained from the system. If you listen to users, you’ll never get anywhere because they really don’t know what they want and don’t understand information systems.” What do you think of these arguments? what argument do you agree with the most and why?

They didn’t make any attempt to support their colleagues and the level 1 crew didn’t take the initiative to ask for help. The result of the simulation was poor.
