Key modelling concepts applicable to traditional and agile approaches to systems development are also introduced.
At the end of this course, it is expected that students will be able to: Recognise and apply key modelling concepts applicable to traditional and agile approaches to systems development. Identify and understand key aspects of the systems development process, from project planning through to analysis, design and implementation including key activities and key deliverables. Recognise and perform key activities associated with the analysis of business systems, including the analysis of business problem, determining information needs, and selecting an IS-based strategy/solution to address the business need. Select and apply various strategies, tools, and modelling concepts and techniques related to traditional, agile and object-oriented approaches (e.g. Entity-Relational/Class models, context/data flow diagrams, use cases, user stories) to the analysis and design of a business information system. Recognise and apply key principles of good user interface design. Work as a team to perform key activities associated with project planning and the analysis, design and prototyping of an IS solution to a business problem or need. Use various tools (e.g. MS Project, MS Visio, prototyping tools) to support the planning, analysis, design and prototyping of an IS project.
