- Use object orientation and other information systems modeling techniques;
- Create various system diagrams for creating system analysis and design documentation;
- Conduct application software domain analysis and define IS requirements;
- Design processes, data, user interface and other IS aspects;
- Assess feasibility of IS;
- Use software for managing system development projects;
- Use software for creating documentation for system analysis and design
This project will provide an opportunity to participate in a systems analysis process that will help you understand your needs for software/hardware to improve your business processes and negotiate with a vendor if necessary.
