Audience:

 

This course is designed for business and technical experts that want to learn the basics of structured systems design in order to create new or updated Information Systems.

 

Prerequisites:

 

The  following courses are recommended - Introduction to Business Systems Analysis (TR001), Modeling Essential Business Data (TR012) and Discovering Essential Business Requirements (TR043) or similar experience.

 

Description:

 

This course presents tools and techniques to take the Requirements documentation produced during the analysis phase of a project and initiate the process of designing and building a new version of a system. The steps of structured design are defined and the various options of system and sub-systems that make up the future System Implementation Model are created and documented using process models, use cases, decision tables, program structure charts, flow charts, pseudo-code, screen and report layouts and database design models that can be used to create system prototypes. Hands-on workshops using a JAD format are used to reinforce concepts.

 

Objectives:

 

Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to:

 

·         Explain the goals to be achieved during design activities

·         Assist in the Build/Buy solution option when choosing a solution

·         Determine the technology architecture that offers the best implementation options

·         Ensuring that system software is compatible with other IT systems relevant to the organization

·         Identify Software System Attributes such as performance, capacity, availability, security, reliability and maintainability and ensure they are correctly documented as system requirements

·         Translate Use Cases into both human activities (procedures and training material) and software specs

·         Document software requirements to assist in program construction

·         Create an approved User Interface layout for both input and output activities by System Users

·         Identify the inputs to physical database design.

·         Define all System Backup an Recovery requirements
