SYSTEMS ANALYSIS, SYSTEMS, AND THEIR MODELING APPROACHES
Program Overview
The development of Information Systems (IS) is essential for organizational efficiency and success, requiring structured approaches based on software engineering. These systems can be understood from both functional and organizational perspectives, depending on business areas and user levels.
The IS development process involves key phases such as analysis, design, implementation, and maintenance, supported by different methodologies and models, including traditional and agile approaches.
Finally, requirements analysis and system modeling are crucial to identify user needs and transform them into effective technological solutions, highlighting the important role of the systems analyst.
Professionals:
Aimed at technology professionals (developers, analysts, software engineers) who want to update their knowledge in development methodologies, systems engineering, and web engineering trends.
Students:
Designed for students in computer science, systems engineering, or related fields who seek to build a solid foundation in systems fundamentals, software development, and modern methodologies.
General Public:
Intended for individuals interested in understanding how systems work, software
- Understand the different types and classifications of information systems from functional and user perspectives.
- Analyze the stages and models of systems development, including life cycle approaches and project management considerations.
- Interpret the methodological frameworks and resources used in systems development processes.
- Apply structured, object-oriented, and data analysis techniques in systems analysis.
- Identify the roles and competencies required of a systems analyst in real-world scenarios.
- Elicit, analyze, and specify system requirements using both traditional and modern methods.
- Utilize modeling techniques and tools, including UML, RAD, RUP, and CASE tools, for effective information systems design.
