Ottawa University System Analysis and Design Discussion

Part1

The goal in this class is to design an IT-related project and deliver the final design of your project

Decide on an IT-related project that you like to work on as your final Portfolio Project.

• Research and find a template for your project proposal.
• Use APA formatting for citations and references.
• Criteria: Complete your project proposal for your project with
• title page,
• project name,
• table of contents,
• references, and
• detail information about each component listed in your table of content.

Ensure your table of contents includes all the related items for your project proposal.

Part 2

• Research and find a template for documenting your System Requirements Document (SRD).
• Prepare a business requirements document (in MS Word), based on your selected project. Include priority “ranking” (Hi, MED, LO) for each requirement.
• Include statements of requirements related to business need.
• Criteria: Minimum of 3 requirements, but you can include up to 10.
• Use APA formatting for citations and references.

Part 3

This part has two required parts: (1) to make a context diagram, and (2) to create and complete the System Design Specification document for your project.

Part 1 (25 points possible):

• Use a tool to make a context diagram, there are tools such as Lucidchart and others in the market for making a diagram.
• Develop a Context Diagram for the case system using Lucidchart or another to create the context diagram.
• Criteria: Full credit for use of the appropriate shapes, with appropriate labeling on the shapes and the lines.
• Take a screenshot of your diagram, and paste it into a Word document.

Part 2 (25 points possible):

• Create your project’s System Design Specification document. You may conduct research to find a template, or use a blank Word document.
• Criteria: Complete the System Design Specification document for your project.
• Include:
• title page,
• project name,
• table of contents,
• references, and
• detail information about each component listed in your table of contents.
• Also include the Context Diagram form Part 1 at the end of your System Design Specification document.

Part 4

Create an alternative decision matrix for the case system. Using Excel or Word, develop a decision matrix to be used to evaluate three proposed design alternatives (alternatives A, B, and C). The idea is to create a worksheet that can be applied to any set of alternatives.

Criteria: Decision matrix has columns for criteria weights and points available, and columns that represent three proposals. Within each proposal include columns for points assigned and the product of points assigned times criteria weight. The bottom row of the matrix contains column totals.

Part 5

Use Wufoo to develop an input form using some of the key fields from your project. Copy (or take a screenshot of) the design and paste it into Word document with a title page. Provide the resulting URL as well.

Criteria: Design incorporates good choice of colors, text, font, arrangement, and evidence of possible navigation (as in a “submit” button).

Final

compile all prior weeks’ assignments into a single document. Be sure to make corrections and improve your work based off of my feedback in this final assignment. Then, add the following:

• Provide information on how your project could improve the current business system.
• State how to transition this project that you are proposing.
• Criteria: Your document should address the above items, and may include other items of transition.
• Use APA formatting for citations and references.
