Systems Analysis and Design Methods and Techniques

1. Apply contemporary information systems analysis and design methods and techniques to real-world case studies. 

2. Applysystemsanalysisanddesignconcepts,modelingand project management techniques to real-world case studies. 

3. Effectively communicate systems analysis and design methods and techniques to real-world problems. 

4. Demonstrate an appreciation of sound computer interface principles. 

5. Effectively communicate ideas using tools and techniques of systems analysis and design.

Based on the aboveproject, you are expected to complete the following tasks:

You are required to:

1. i. Provide a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) which should reflect your choice of system development methodology. (3 Marks)

ii.Based on your WBS, develop a Gantt Chart and network diagram for your project schedule. Gantt chart must includeactivitynumber, startdate, finish date,activity name, activity description, predecessor, and any other notes. (3Marks)

iii.Develop a separate project schedule that captures all the activities undertaken in accomplishing this assignment up to the report level. Provide an activity diagram and flow chart that captures the all these activities. (4 Marks)

2. Develop a “TO BE” process diagram by using Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN) or Unified Modelling Language (UML). The“TO BE” diagram should show the improvement of the data flow of the new Library system. It should clearly show the interaction between components 
and major processes of the new system.

i. Draw an ERD for your new automated library system. Clearly show all the entities, their attribute, operations and the types of relationships between the entities.   (8 Marks)

ii. Create fully normalized 3NF table designs for your library system. You need to mention all the entities that you identified in (i) above.

(10 Marks)

3. i. Briefly describe the eight main guidelines for designing a user interface for the project. (4 Marks)

ii. How would you rank them in order of importance? Explain your answer. (3 Marks)

4. i. Please clarify what types of testing should be performed? (3 Marks)

ii. Whattypesoftestdatashouldbeused? (3 Marks)

iii. Justify your choice of testing in relation to the new Information Systems developed to automate the UUNZ library management system? (4Marks)

5. A training plan should be considered in the system development process.

i. Identify the specific groups of people or a person who need training on the new system. (2 Marks)

ii. For each group or person, describe the type of training you would recommend and list the topics you would cover. (3 Marks)

iii. Justify your choice of training method, why you think the type of training would be the most effective in this case. (3 Marks)

6. i. Discuss your Project Cost Benefit Analysis of the new automated library management system. (3 Marks)

ii. Provide an excel spread sheet with details of the project Cost Benefit Analysis. (4 Marks)

7. You will produce a report that aims to explain your systems analysis results based on the assignment specifications. This report at a minimum should include all the specified tasks and the following components.

1. Introduction: (Objectives, Scope, requirements should be included) (4 Marks)

2. Conclusion and recommendations must be included. (4 Marks)

3. References (must be included with citations). All documents cited in your assignment must be listed in a single alphabetical list at the end of the assignment. (3Marks)

4. Presentation and Work Conformity with Academic Standard (4 Marks)
