INTRODUCTION
CPT316: System Analysis and Design is a 3 credit unit course for students studying towards acquiring a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and other related disciplines. The course is divided into 4 modules and 10 study units. This course guide will look briefly into the concept of System Analysis and Design. Then, the course will make an in-depth review of system development life cycle. The course goes further to deal with system development methodologies, models, techniques and tools.
This course also introduce such other knowledge that will enable thereader have proper understanding of how to build a successful system.
The course guide therefore gives you an overview of what the course; CPT316 is all about, the textbooks and other materials to be referenced, what you expect to know in each unit, and how to work through the course material.
What you will learn in this Course
This study guide intends to provide several fundamental concepts and practical techniques that can improve the probability of success in any information technology
(IT) project.
A survey conducted by Standish Group in 2004 found that just 28% of IT projects succeed today. Outright failures—IT projects cancelled before completion—occur in
18% of all IT projects. Unfortunately, many of the systems that are not abandoned are delivered to the users significantly late, cost far more than planned, and have fewer features than originally planned.
Most of us would like to think that these problems only occur to “other”
