IS3200 Enterprise Systems Analysis and Design

This course covers the concepts, models, and processes used by enterprise systems analysts to determine: 1) The current situation of an organization that desires to improve itself; 2) The problems and opportunities in this situation; and 3) The plans and specifications that can be formed to feasibly address these problems or opportunities. The course covers how enterprise -level system analysis is performed to successfully define and develop systems requirements how to apply these to system design. Additionally, the fundamentals of information system design are discussed and applied. The overall goal for the course is for the students to understand the system development life cycle, system analysis and design methodologies, and have applied them in a team project within the class. Prerequisites: None.

Course Learning Outcomes

The overall goal of this course is for the learner to understand and apply fundamental enterprise level systems analysis concepts, models, process, and good practices in planning for, analyzing, and designing information systems that support and enable important operational, tactical, and strategic goals and the related course learning outcomes are as follows:

·       Students will understand and apply key concepts, models, and processes used in the information system planning phase that includes information systems development, project selection, and project planning as related to software planning for the DoD.

·       Students will understand and apply key concepts, models, and processes used in the information system analysis phase that includes systems requirements discovery, process modeling, and data modeling enables military leaders to actively engage in guiding and participating in software requirements gathering and the translation of those requirements into uses cases, process flow models, and logical data models used to implement software for the DoD.

·       Students will understand and apply key concepts, models, and processes used in the information system design phase that includes information systems design, information systems architecture, and information systems end user interface design that prepares military leaders to better engage and influence the design of software development for the DoD.
