PROJECT (25%)

Marks Distribution:

   Reports and all documentation materials (10 %).

   Systems Analysis & Design include user  Interface Design (10 %).

   Presentation (5 %).

INSTRUCTION:

1.   You may choose any system that you already discussed in your group.

2.   A full system analysis & design has to be designed by the end of the semester.

The project is divided into TWO sections:

1) Section ONE : UNDERSTANDING ON CURRENT SYSTEMS (AS-IS)

Students must be able to apply INFORMATION GATHERING TECHNIQUES (ex: interviews, observation, questionnaires, document analysis etc.) in order to understand the current information system. You are required to produce a GANTT CHART, Organizational structure, context diagram, level-0 logical data flow diagram (or more levels), interview’s report, questionnaires report. To conclude the findings you must produce a PROBLEM DEFINITION REPORT (PDR) OR ALSO CALLED the Systems Proposal/requirement definition document which compiles all materials required for the current system.

2) Section TWO : UNDERSTANDING THE NEW SYSTEM (TO-BE)

In this section, students must be able to propose some improvements (ex: business automation, business improvement, etc) on the current system by producing the blueprint of the new system. For this purpose, students are required to apply DATA FLOW DIAGRAM(DFD) techniques when introducing the new features of the proposed system. Based on NEW CAPTURED REQUIREMENTS, students should be able to propose a CONTEXT DIAGRAM for the TO_BE system and be able to convert logical DFD of current systems to the logical DFDs of NEW system with completed partitioning. Besides, students are also required to design INPUT and OUTPUT DESIGN (example Screen, form etc) of the proposed system. Similar to section ONE, all materials such as designs and findings should be compiled and reported in what we called as the DESIGN SPECIFICATION REPORT (DSR).
