3. 3 What is Systems Analysis and Design (SAD)? Systems Analysis: understanding and specifying in detail what an information system should do System Design: specifying in detail how the parts of an information system should be implemented Why is it important? Success of information systems depends on good SAD Widely used in industry - proven techniques Part of career growth in IT - lots of interesting and well-paying jobs! Increasing demand for systems analysis skills

4. 4 Course Objectives To provide you with new ways of looking at information in the world in order to solve business problems To introduce you to concepts and methods of SAD To describe the systems development life cycle (SDLC) To teach you effective methods for gathering essential information during system analysis To teach you approaches to documenting and modeling of gathered information To teach you effective methods for designing systems to solve problems effectively using technology
