Unit 34 System Analysis & Design - Higher National Diploma in Computing

Learning Outcome 1: Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the traditional and agile systems analysis methodologies.
Learning Outcome 2: Produce a feasibility study for a system for a business-related problem.
Learning Outcome 3: Analyse their system using a suitable methodology.
Learning Outcome 4: Design the system to meet user and system requirements.

Assignment Brief

Case study
The new automated system is designed to replace the current, manual, error-prone process of E-Solutions private Limited. The automation of existing process is to reduce the company's expenses and enhance the productivity significantly. This transformation also would support for:
1) Successful teams working
2) Completing projects on time and within budget due to a better understanding of system requirements and tasks to be completed
3) Starting projects on time through automated project scheduling system.

In the proposed system, the Project director creates a project and a "project profile" for each project. The creation of the project profile includesidentification of project employee costs, the assignment of tasks to the project, and the assignment of a project manager. The project profile is consisted of project id, project personnel cost, a list of tasks assigned, and the project manager. The Project director also creates the teams for a given project, assigns employees to the teams, and assigns a team leader.The Project manager is responsible for assigning tasks to various teams working on the projects(s). The Team Leader assigns tasks to the team members.

Additional functionality includes:
• Produce and update information about different software projects, projectteams, specific team member assignments and team skills.
• Perform function point analysis to identify the personnel cost of the project and provide information to generate invoices upon completion of project phases.
• Monitor projects and identify completed tasks and ongoing tasksof each project.

Activity 01
Discuss traditional and agile system analysis methodologies used in the industry by comparing and contrastingthe strengths and weaknesses of them. Critically evaluate two methodologies by referring to the examples to support your answer.

Activity 2
Produce a feasibility report for the scenario given above and assessthe importance offeasibility criteria used for the system investigation.Critically evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of feasibility study with relevant to the proposed solution.

Activity 3
Analyse and review the system requirements of the proposed solution given in the scenario using a suitable methodology. Functional and non-functional requirements of the system should be clearly mentioned.Assessment of the effectiveness and suitability of the chosen methodology should be provided with proper justifications.

Activity 4
Produce a system design specification for the above scenario and assess the effectiveness of your design and the methodology used with reference to how it meets the user requirements.
Your system design specification should includearchitectural design, interface design, database design, and program design.
