    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.
