Study Notes

Feasibility Study

  • A feasibility study determines if a requested system is economically and operationally viable for an organization.
  • Essential to assess before project initiation to ensure alignment with organizational goals.

Types of Feasibility Tests

  • Operational Feasibility: Evaluates the impact and practicality of the proposed system in operational contexts.

Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

  • A structured, step-by-step approach for developing information systems.
  • Involves determining budgets, gathering requirements, and writing user documentation.

SDLC Phases

  • Planning: Define the system, set project scope, and develop a project plan.
  • Analysis: Collaborate to gather, understand, and document business requirements.
  • Design: Create a technical blueprint and design system models.
  • Development: Transform design documents into a functioning system.
  • Testing: Verify system functionality against requirements, including unit, system, integration, and user acceptance testing (UAT).
  • Implementation: Distribute the system, create documentation, and provide training.
  • Maintenance: Monitor and support the system to meet evolving business goals.

Planning Phase

  • Define the system to be developed, focusing on critical success factors.
  • Set project scope to outline high-level requirements and prevent scope creep.
  • Develop a project plan detailing tasks, resources, and timelines, led by a project manager.

Analysis Phase

  • Gather detailed business requirements through collaboration, often using Joint Application Development (JAD) meetings.
  • Prioritize requirements in a formal Requirements Definition Document.

Design Phase

  • Define technical architecture, detailing required hardware, software, and telecommunications.
  • Create system models, including graphical representations such as GUIs.

Development Phase

  • Build technical architecture and develop databases and programs, primarily executed by IT specialists.

Testing Phase

  • Write detailed test conditions outlining expected system performance.
  • Conduct various tests: unit testing, system testing, integration testing, and user acceptance testing (UAT).

Implementation Phase

  • Document how to use the system and provide training through online or workshop methods.
  • Choose an implementation method: parallel, plunge, pilot, or phased.

Maintenance Phase

  • Establish a help desk for user support and provide an environment for ongoing system changes.

Modeling Tools and Techniques

  • Utilize graphical and non-technical methods to represent systems at various development stages.

Key Modeling Techniques

  • Functional Decomposition Diagrams (FDD): Illustrate business functions and their lower-level processes.
  • Business Process Modeling (BPM): Use BPMN for visualizing business processes with elements like pools and swim lanes.
  • Data Flow Diagrams (DFD): Depict how data is stored, processed, and transformed within the system.
  • Unified Modeling Language (UML): Common visual method for documenting software design, including use case and sequence diagrams.

System Requirements Checklist

  • Outputs: Specify regular reporting functionalities and inventory updates.
  • Inputs: Detail user interactions with data collection terminals and entry requirements.
  • Processes: Include essential calculations, such as GPA and payroll updates.
  • Performance: Ensure user capacity and response time standards are met.
  • Controls: Implement security measures for sensitive operations and record management.

Project Management

  • Facilitates organization, tracking, and execution of tasks within a project framework.
