Systems Analysis αnd Design

Course Description

Systems analysis and design is a fundamental element in any software development approach (traditional or contemporary). This course provides a comprehensive overview of systems analysis and design concepts and techniques and their application to IT projects. Whilst the course introduces students to the whole systems development process, it focuses on the elicitation and initial modelling of information systems requirements and creation of feasibility studies that enable identification of information problems and the subsequent analysis and modelling of an efficient solution to those problems. The course also examines the issues and professional responsibilities that need to be considered at different phases in the development of information systems for an organization; including the impact of the systems on intended users and maintenance of quality.
