Title: Assignment 3 - Systems Analysis Overview
Course: KVCC_BUS205 > Section: Assignments

We have completed the aspects of system analysis in the first part of the book. In the last few classes we have talked about all of the various methods and techniques and the reasoning behind conducting these pieces of analysis. What I would like you to do is to begin to think about these processes and how you would apply them in the real world. To start off this process everything will be based on the following scenario:

You are hired by a company to be an analyst that is working towards the development of a new information system. The specifics are not necessary at this point and I want you to think and answer the following questions.

a. What in your opinion is the primary function of an analyst?

b. Why would a company hire an analyst? Can’t they do these same processes themselves?

c. Where would you begin/what would you do on your first day on the job?

d. Write a short summary on how you would begin to gather information.

e. What diagrams and models would you use? Why?

f. Out of all of the methods that we have discussed so far which do you think is the best method an analyst should employ? Why?

g. Which tool or technique do you think stands out as not being useful? Why?

h. Overall what is your stance on analysis? Do you think it is useful? Should we do this? Either way provide some evidence.
