Information Systems Analysis and Design Assignment - About Systems Development
The tasks
For the purpose of this assignment, you are assumed to be one of the consultants appointed to shoulder the system analysis responsibilities in, Logistics Information Systems (LIS) in the project outlined in the case study.
You will plan and manage the project as well as investigate and document its system requirements. For your Assignment 1 submission, you will produce a report that discusses this project based on your understanding of it and the related investigation results through the tasks below.
Task 1:
Approaches to Systems Development
- Discuss two approaches to system development. Describe system analysis and the major activities that occur during this phase of the systems development life cycle.
- Describe and compare the six sources of software. How can you decide among various off-the-shelf software options? What criteria should you use? Do you think that in the given case study you can use any off-the-shelf software? Please provide justifications to your answer.
Task 2:
Systems Requirements
- What are the primary functional requirements for the system in the case study?
- What are the non-functional requirements for the system in the case study?
Tack 3:
Project Cost Benefit Analysis
- Discuss your Project Cost Benefit Analysis.
- Provide an excel spread sheet with details in a Project Cost Benefit Analysis.
Task 4:
Project Schedule
- Show a work breakdown structure and a project schedule as a Gantt chart. Explain both of them and discuss how they relate to each other.
- Given the system goals, requirements, and scope as they are currently understood, is the project schedule reasonable? Why or why not?
Task
System Information Requirement Investigation Techniques
- Who are the stakeholders involved? Clearly list all identified extemal and internal stakeholders.
- Describe three traditional techniques for collecting information during analysis. When might one be better than another?
- Justify the usefulness of these 3 investigation techniques.
