1. REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS
This repository of slides is intended to support the named chapter. The slide repository should be used as follows:
Copy the file to a unique name for your course and unit.
Edit the file by deleting those slides you don’t want to cover, editing other slides as appropriate to your course, and adding slides as desired.
Print the slides to produce transparency masters or print directly to film or present the slides using a computer image projector.
Each slide includes instructor notes. To view those notes in PowerPoint, click-left on the View Menu; then click left on Notes View sub-menu. You may need to scroll down to see the instructor notes.
The instructor notes are also available in hardcopy as the Instructor Guide to Accompany Systems Analysis and Design Methods, 6/ed.

2. Context of System Analysis

3. Requirements Analysis
The process and technique that a group of system analyst utilizes to identify, analyze, and understand system requirements
System’s requirements specify what the system must do as well as what property or quality the system must have.
One of the early IS development phases.
Data Model: one of the primary activities for the requirements analysis phase of the DB System Development

6. Results of Incorrect Requirements Analysis
The system may cost more than projected
Denver airport Baggage-Handling IS
The system may be delivered later than promised.
The system may not meet the users’ expectations and that dissatisfaction may cause them not to use it.
Once in production, the costs of maintaining and enhancing the system may be excessively high.
California DMV system
No additional notes.

7. Very Difficult to Manage
Over the lifetime of the project, it is very common for new requirements to emerge and existing requirements to change.
Studies have shown that over the life of a project as much as 50 percent or more of the requirements will change before the system is put into production.

8. System Development is about Documentation…….
Data model is part of an official DB document (blue print of the DB)
Department of Justice
System development is about “documentation….. Documentation…… documentation”
See the Department of Justice SDLC documentation on the course website

9. IS Architecture Can be divided into data and process architectures
Data architecture by Data Model
ERD: focus on the optimal organization of data, not on where or how data are used
Process architecture by Process Model
DFD (Data Flow Diagram): focus on how and when data are moved

12. What is Strategic Management?
Highest level of overall planning
is the continuous planning, monitoring, analysis, and assessment of all that is necessary for an organization to meet its goals & objectives and to position a firm to succeed in its market environment.

14. What is Data Flow Diagram?
A DFD is a graphical representation of the "flow" of data through an information system.
How data enter a system and transformed in that system
What is a Data Flow Diagram and Why Do You Need One? (2:28)

15. Creating Data Flow Diagram Lemonade Stand Example

16. Creating Data Flow Diagrams
Example
Steps:
The operations of a simple lemonade stand will be used to demonstrate the creation of data flow diagram.
Create a list of activities
Construct Context Level DFD (identifies sources and sink)
Construct Level 0 DFD (identifies manageable sub processes )
Construct Level 1- n DFD (identifies actual data flows and data stores )

17. Creating Data Flow Diagrams
Example
Create a list of activities
Think through the activities that take place at a lemonade stand.

22. Why not using Flow Chart?
Complex Logic:
Many of today’s MIS program logic is quite complicated. In that case, flowchart becomes complex and clumsy because the complexity can grow exponentially.
Not so recommendable in MIS & CS
Alterations and Modifications:
If alterations are required the flowchart may require re-drawing completely. This is quite time and effort-consuming.

23. Why not using Flow Chart?
Reproduction:
As the flowchart symbols cannot be typed, reproduction of flowchart becomes a problem.
The essentials of what is done can easily be lost in the technical details of how it is done.
Factors that affect the sequence are not included.
