The course provides students with basic knowledge of the systems analysis and design process. The course focuses on the system development life cycle (SDLC) and examines some of the techniques, methods, tools, procedures, and methodologies employed by systems analysts in the analysis and design of information systems. Students develop the needed communication and analytical skills to solicit, identify, analyze and refine loosely structured user requirements to produce a meaningful system design specification. Students are introduced to tools and processes aiding the design process, such as Agile, use case scenarios, and data flow diagramming (DFDs).
