  1. MIS 3510 Systems Analysis & Design Fall 2018 SUMMARY

  2. MIS 3510 - Systems Analysis & Design Summary FALL 2017 • Different views of information system (IS) • Structural view (data, hardware, software/application, procedures) • Functional view (input-process-output) • Object view • Services view (client-server model: user interface, data storage, data processing/functionality) • Services Oriented Architecture (components)

  3. The Emphasis of the Course Systems analysis • Analyzing organizational tasks/processes either supported or not supported by electronic or pre-electronic IT • Identifying system requirements for the to-be system • Deliverable: Logical design of the current and future state of an IS System design • What specifically needs to be made/changed regarding a system’s functionality, data, & user interface • Methods used: Exercises, homework, term paper, lab

  4. Systems Analyst’s Toolbox: System Aspects & Target Diagrams Use Case Description Class/Object Diagram Sequence Diagram Dialogue Representations Activity Diagram Use Case Diagram x x x x x x x x x x x x x = primary purpose of a diagram x = provides hints/indications

  5. Challenges in Systems Analysis • What is in the system? Where is system boundary? • Process thinking (Activity Diagram) vs. Non-process thinking (Use Case Diagram) • Data modeling: what is class, attribute, association? Focus on details and completeness. • Capability to toggle between big and small picture • Capability to read (and sometimes write) different notation schemes.

  6. Some Highlights • MIS Perspective emphasized: - IS support user and organizational purposes - System examples rooted in specific organizational contexts - Various systems studied (TPS, MIS) • Technical perspective: - Vocabulary, analytical skills, graphical expression - Hands-on learning: iGrafx, Visio, MS Project

  7. Conclusion • MIS 3510 provided a solid introduction into analytical skills for understanding IS and their embeddedness in organization. • MIS 3510 is useful for any specialization in systems area (system analyst, business analyst, system developer, data analyst, network jobs, database jobs). • MIS 3510 prepares you for MIS 3500 (DBMS) and analytics.

  8. That’s all folks! See ya on Dec. 17, 2018, 9-11:30 am Drake Ctr. 122 @ Final Exam 
