In the prior unit, systems planning, you prepared a feasibility study and proposed a broad solution to problems you identified. In the systems analysis phase you will develop a model of your proposed system. This phase applies modeling techniques such as requirements modeling, data and process modeling, and object modeling. The goal of this step is to build a solid foundation for the design phase of the project.
For this project, you will prepare a System Requirements document using MS Word. The document should include the following:
- A title page
- A business letter introducing the contents of this document and summarizing any changes made from the feasibility study
- A description of the resources required for the project and how they will be utilized
- A visual representation of the system including its constituent components (you should use a drawing program and embed the graphic into your document or use MS Word's drawing capabilities)
- A discussion of the analysis performed and the conclusions reached
- A summary of the system requirements for the project, including cost estimates
Your document should be a minimum of 2-3 pages in length (excluding the title page and business letter) and neatly formatted.
Adhere to APA formatting and reference guidelines when writing your response. Additionally, your response should be free of grammatical errors, use complete sentences, and give specific details to support statements.
