系统分析与设计Systems Analysis and Design.ppt

Information flows into an organization from the outside and flows inside the organization to accomplish a task or solve a problem. Periodically the flow of the information needs to be evaluated – is it effective? Is it solving the problem or creating others? Is there a newer or better way to get the task accomplished or solve the problem? How do we go about beginning an analysis of any system? It is important that end users understand how the systems life cycle works—in fact, end users have to use the procedure if developing your own information system. Preliminary Investigation (key term) – First phase is to perform an investigation – usually the result of a request from the user (is there a way to make this task easier, to accomplish the job more efficiently?) Systems analysis (key term) – The second phase is to analyze the current procedure(s) to determine if there is a need for a new system or a modification of the current system Systems Design (key term)– The third phase is to design a new model or make adjustments to the current model to fit new needs or changes in technology Systems Development (key term)– The fourth phase is Development – This is the acquisition of new software and/or hardware and the testing of that new acquisition Systems Implementation (key term) – The fifth phase is to determine how to implement the changes from Development – do we do this all at once; step by step; or phase it in? Systems Maintenance (key term) – the last phase – needs to be performed as you go through the process of analyzing, as you work with the new/changed system, as you implement the new system or the new changes, and on a routine basis to be sure you are accomplishing what you set out to accomplish: making the task easier and more efficient! *The following slides provide an overview of each of the six phases During Phase I, you have received a request from a user to see if there is a more efficient or easier way to get his/her job done There are three tasks to be
