Computer Informatics Basics: Data and Input/Output

Systems analysis involves studying an existing system to understand how it works and how it meets user needs, while systems design involves developing a plan for an improved system based on the results of the systems analysis.

The typical functions of a Systems Analyst include coordination of schedules and system-related tasks, personnel communication through oral presentations and written documentation, and planning and designing new systems from the beginning of a project through final implementation.

The project phases involved in system development are planning (identifying business value, analyzing feasibility, developing work plan, staffing the project, controlling and directing project), analysis (identifying the system users, functions, and usage), design (planning how the system will work), and implementation (system delivery).
