Reflection On System Analysis And Design

This is probably by far the hardest course I have taken in the last two years, but I am proud to say I didn’t give up. There was a lot to be learned in a short amount of time as well as learning how to use other programs on the computer. I have gained more knowledge in learning the two new programs this semester.

How do you envision using the knowledge from this course in your current role or your role after graduation?

Willowbrook School, a 20 year-old nonprofit educational institution, is committed to providing a high quality, cost effective, safe and culturally progressive education to families with children ranging from preschool age through grade six.

1) How are you going to plan to study this course? How are you going to utilize what you will learn in this course to your professional practice field in the future?

I have learned a lot about the career search and the different strategies in going about it in business as well as other professions. This course has been helpful to help me in knowing how to fulfill my overall goals for after college because I have learned the necessary skills to do so. This involves effectively setting goals along with knowing how to take action to achieve those goals, which is what we learned about in this course. The most impactful part of this course was the interviewing skills. The informal interview along with the informational interview assignments truly pushed me out of my comfort zone; morever, they were very rewarding as I have never had any true interview experience before that. Not only did I learned a lot about interviewing, but I also learned a lot during my informational interview about different industries and what it takes to run a business, along with some advice from an expert such as networking and risk

Before I switched to BA/SA concentration, I took SE 430 -Object-Oriented Modeling which I found extremely useful. The characteristics of this course fit in the idea of building Supply/Demand IT system very well. It focuses on abstraction to capture entity's essential behaviors which is applied to a system being built as client's request or a system being build based on demand and identity opportunities (Streeter). In addition, there were multiple team projects which required me to communicate with my online teammates and client team. It helped me strengthen my communication skills, gained more confident of working with people I do not see face to face, and understand difficulties from both parties of the project. Unfortunately, this course will not count toward my degree but I am glad that I took it. I think this course should be optional in the elective phases of BA/SA concentration because I am sure other BA/SA students could find this as useful as I did .

System Analysis is the study where detailed information about the components and requirements of a system, the information needs of an organisation, the characteristics and current components of the systems and the user functional requirements of the systems that is proposed system.

The big important question is, what do you need in order to be successful in this course? There is one thing that you need a lot of time to get success

After this course, I made some progress on my SMART goals. With the knowledge I obtained from this class, I gained a better understand of coaching, motivating, and managing my team. Apply concepts from performance management, I am able to motivate my subordinates and allow them to improve within themselves. I also learned to manage my time more effectively. By continue improving myself, I think I will achieve my goal of complete my MBA by 2017 and also manage my subordinates more

System analysts use prototyping, modeling and computer-aided engineering tools. Modeling makes a graphical representation of a process. Prototyping is the creation of a working model of the information and its components. Systems analysts use the CASE tools to perform systems development tasks. Three system development methods are structured analysis, which is a common method that is very widely used, object-oriented, is a more recent method that a lot of analysts like, and agile methods, these include the latest trends in software

Fact-Finding and Reviewing existing system are the first step to get the requirement, after review the interview summaries, which include the main problems, unsystematic record keeping and standard in putting data into the system. According to the role system analyst (Rosenblatt, 2014), system analyst will associate with project manager in order to investigate and identify the issues that need to fix. Moreover, they will transform the business requirements into IT implementation, which will pass the requirement to the design process and prototype respectively.

There is a reoccurring theme I took from all the readings in this course, and that is that there is more to engineering than just designing. You have to look at every project you have from all perspectives, and it is very important for you to take all things into account. I chose this Systems analysis diagram because it was a good way for me to group certain main ideas into three main categories of thought. Thinking ethically, thinking before you act, and viewing your projects as a two-way street are all very important when working on in the engineering field.

Suppliers would also be a factor to include when considering customers and competitors. There are companies that suppliers are treated as partners because they have a close relationship with organization. When the supplier has been providing raw materials or other products they become part of the operation. For example, there are some Japanese firms that have partnered with their suppliers.

A system analysis is a person that studies and observes the problems and needs of a system to make it work properly for the job at hand. A system analysis would research a problem, plan solutions and recommend software to improve the system. It is a systems analysis job to be observe every detail of a system so they are completely familiar with it and know it very well, so that they are able to accurately and efficiently scan the system for problems and work out possible improvements. They would specialize in analysing and designing computer systems, first they would plan the system to make sure it is possible and feasible, in terms of time, economically, and legally. Once this has been done and checked over for mistakes the analysis would then be given the go ahead by their superiors and will carry out a investigation into the system to gather information to help build a picture of it, they will use specialised fact finding techniques to do this.

The Agile Unified Process (AUP) is combine and cut-down version of both Agile and Rational Unified Process (RUP). It uses an agile approach that focuses on both the larger life-cycle and the emphases within each step to release better quality product.
