Design of an Administrative Information System at the First GBI Medan Web-Based using the Agile Method

Abstract

The development of information and technology, making information a very important thing to support work in institutions and organizations, many organizations use web-based information systems to improve the efficiency and accuracy of their administrative and management performance, for example administration in church organizations. However, the application of web-based administrative information systems in religious environments, especially churches, is still very limited. Many churches, in reporting every week, use desktop applications in recording the number of offerings and congregations that attend divine services every week. Then for reporting every other activity there is no report at all. One of them is GBI Pertama Medan which in managing its administrative system which still relies on manual methods, namely through word processing applications such as Excel and Word which are still less effective, which results in various problems and obstacles such as recording errors, delays in submitting information, and difficulties in accessing data quickly and accurately. This study aims to and build a web-based administrative information system that will help make it easier for congregations and admins to search and manage administrative data for the First Indonesian Baptist Church Medan. The method used in the development and design of the First GBI Medan administrative information system is the Agile method. Which, this Agile method is widely used in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Each stage of this method, such as planning, analysis, design, development, testing, and maintenance can help design administrative web systems and various other administrative features at the First Indonesian Baptist Church of Medan, such as managing congregational data, offerings, ministerial schedules, announcements, and FT devotional reading lists. Based on the description above, the authors are interested in conducting research and taking the title of designing an administrative information system at the First GBI Medan web-based using the Agile method
