Introduction to Systems
Analysis and Design:
An Agile, Iteractive Approach
6th Ed
Overview (continued)
 Computer application (app) – a computer
software program that executes on a computing
device to carry out a specific set of functions
 Modest scope
 Information system – a set of interrelated
components that collects, processes, stores,
and provides as output the information needed
to complete business tasks
 Broader in scope than “app”
 Includes database and related manual processes

Overview (continued)
 Project – a planned undertaking that has a
beginning and end and that produces some
definite result
 Used to develop an information system
 Requires knowledge of systems analysis and
systems design tools and techniques

Overview (continued)
 Systems analysis – those activities that enable
a person to understand and specify what an
information system should accomplish

 Systems design – those activities that enable a

person to define and describe in detail the
system that solves the need

 Overview (continued)
 System development lifecycle (SDLC) – the
entire process consisting of all activities required to
build, launch, and maintain an information system
 Identify the problem or need and obtain approval
 Plan and monitor the project
 Discover and understand the details of the problem or
need
 Design the system components that solve the problem or
satisfy the need
 Build, test, and integrate system components
 Complete system tests and then deploy the solution

Overview (continued)
 Information systems development process –
the actual approach used to develop a particular
information system (aka: methodology)
 Unified process (UP)
 Extreme programming (XP)
 Scrum

 Most processes/methodologies now use Agile

and Iterative development

Overview (continued)
 Agile development – an information system
development process that emphasizes flexibility
to anticipate new requirements during
development
 Fast on feet; responsive to change
 Iterative development -- an approach to system
development in which the system is “grown”
piece by piece through multiple iterations
 Complete small part of system (mini-project), then
repeat processes to refine and add more, then repeat
to refine and add more, until done

Notes on Managing the Project
 Lots of design diagrams shown
 Design in a complex activity with multiple levels
 High level architectural
 Low level detailed design
 One diagram builds on/complements another
 Not everything is diagrammed, especially for a
small project. Pick and choose.
 Programming is also done concurrently
 You don’t design everything then code
 You do some design, some coding, some design,
some coding
