Role of the Systems Analyst Study problems and needs of an organization Determine best approach to improving organization through use of: People Methods Information technology Help system users and managers define their requirements for new or enhanced systems

Skills of a Successful Systems Analyst Technical Skills : Ability to manage projects, resources, risk and change Interpersonal Skills : Effective written and oral communication skills

Interpersonal Skills Communication : having the ability to articulate and speak the language of the user Understanding : Identifying problems and assessing their solutions Teaching : giving all the advantages to user Selling : Selling ideas and promoting innovations in problem solving

Technical Skills Creativity : helping users model ideas into concrete plans and developing Problem Solving : reducing problems to their elemental levels for analysis. Project Management : Scheduling, performing well under time and constraints Dynamic Interface : blending technical and non tech interfaces

Questioning attitude and inquiring mind : knowing the what, how, when, why, where, who, and how a system works. Knowledge of the basics of the computer and the business function.

The Analyst / User Interface Behavioral Issues. 1. User motivation. 2. Analyst/user differences. 3. The political factor. 4. Conflict Resolution

Behavioral issues. Much research has been done to study users and their relationships with system analyst. Increasing reports of system failures that were not caused by technical problems made it necessary to seek a better understanding of the analyst/user interface

User Motivation The motivational approach in system development states that the candidate system should satisfy the users’ need it they are going to use it. The expectancy theory of user motivation stress two important relationship that have a bearing on user acceptance. The 1st relationship is effort and performance. The 2nd relationship is performance and rewards

Effort and Performance. The user determines the probability that a certain level of motivation or efforts will improve job performance, so a user who perceives a system to be of low quality will put forth limited effort to use it Performance and Rewards The rewards are contingent upon performance, motivation may be enhanced. Also, the value that the user places on the perceived rewards from a candidate sys determines the motivation to use the system.

Conclusion from the motivational perspective The impact of the computer on the user’s daily work is important. System design is essentially task design. A candidate system must be tailored to the user’s tasks to be accepted.

Analyst/ User Differences Differences in education, experiences, and languages are quite obvious. So to avoid this the user tends to take for granted the analyst’s knowledge and expects the computer to solve all problems.

So, two implication may be drawn for sys design are : There is a need for mutual understanding between the analyst and the user. Once the differences are understood and accepted, alleviating them may be possible through a deeper involvement of the user and support of the analyst.

Political Factor The process of system development may be viewed as a contest for power where analysts have the initial advantage. So, where analysts and user attempt to enhance their power positions and self interests. So, to avoid this, The political factor prompts the analyst to honestly asses the motives of all parties involved and attempt to remove barriers that lead to system failure.

Conflict Resolution The role of the system analyst requires coordinating a vast network of people’s ideas and integrating them into a “Systemeering” process design. So from various ideas the one decision is taken by the analyst to solve the problem, so that process is Conflict Resolution.
