This unit teaches students how to translate business requirements into information systems that support a company’s short and long-term objectives. It is organised according to the main phases of the lifecycle – systems planning, analysis, design and implementation. Topics cover analysis of the business case, modelling requirements, objects, data and process, development and design strategies, implementation and support.
We will focus on current security strategies, projects and systems, but importantly, systems analysis and design skills will serve students in a range of situations and organisations. Being able to analyse an organisation’s systems, match that knowledge with the organisation’s objectives and needs, then design and implement a plan are skills that will serve the student for a long time in a rapidly evolving field.
