Course Overview
Business Analysis and Systems Design is the study of concepts, processes and tools that professionals use to plan and develop information systems. Students learn how to ask implicit questions, create plans and make decisions as needed to support the creation of an information system. Students work in teams to initiate the system process, analyze problems, discover requirements and create a logical design. Topics include: techniques used in the discovery of business requirements, traditional approaches to data and process modelling, and techniques for Object Oriented modelling. Agile approaches to software development are also introduced.
