Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing World, 6th 2
Edition
Overview
This text is about developing information
systems that solve an organization need.
Chapter 1 takes you through the process of
developing one rather small information system
The rest of the text elaborates on the basic
processes shown in chapter 1

Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing World, 6th Edition
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
4
Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing World, 6th Edition
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
Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing World, 6th Edition 5
Overview (continued)
Systems analysis –
Activities that enable a person to understand
and specify what an information system should
accomplish
Systems design –
Activities that enable a person to define and
describe in detail the system that solves the
need
6
Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing World, 6th Edition
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
Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing World, 6th Edition 7
Overview (continued)
Information systems development process –
the actual approach used to develop a particular
information system:
Most processes/methodologies now use Agile
and Iterative development
Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing World, 6th Edition 8
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
