Description
If you ask the average systems analyst to describe and define the work that he or she does, you will probably receive a vague answer. This is because most analysts themselves do not have a very clear idea of the structure of the way they do their work. In most organizations it is the backlog and urgency of outstanding tasks which tend to define what the systems analyst does next. This book defines the nine broad steps of systems analysis via systems project selection, feasibility study, project planning, definition phase, design phase, build/buy analysis, implementation phase, maintenance and enhancement and post implementation review and evaluation.
