System analysis and design final project

System Design Final Project

Systems Design Project Instructions

For your final assignment in this course, you will create a project using the requirements outlined below. You may use your own place of business (preferred) or an existing business that will allow you to perform these exercises. Answers such as “Yes” or “No” are not sufficient to respond to these questions. This project should be supported by both the textbook and peer reviewed research that addresses relevant systems analysis and design. Scholarly research should exist performed within the last few years that develop timely and appropriate procedures for an information systems analysis and design. In addition, your project should follow the general steps you learned within the textbook and your mini case assignments. This includes appropriate business requirements methods, appropriate systems analysis and associated diagrams, and appropriate systems design and associated diagrams.

Final Project – Mandatory Requirements

General requirements:

a. APA formatted paper using APA current edition and placing the appropriate margins, double-spacing, appendixes for tables and diagrams, and a references page

b. Approximately 10-15 APA formatted pages. Page count excludes cover page, table of contents, references, and appe1ndix pages (all tables and diagrams should be in an appendix).

c. 5 peer reviewed references with appropriate systems analysis and design supporting processes, procedures, and diagrams

d. Include the following 4 Phases (Planning, Analysis, Design, Implementation)

1. Planning Phase (Chapters 1-4)

a. Create an entire SDLC process that will bring added value to a business.

b. Identify the project—what is it supposed to do?

c. Determine the methodology to be used; describe, in detail, why you chose this methodology

d. Define/determine business requirements and describe the techniques you will use to gather this information

e. Work breakdown structure that details the project

b) Analysis Phase (Chapters 5-8)

a. Appropriate supporting frameworks and models

b. Describe how this project will bring added value to the business. This should be in the form of an actual presentation outline, such as one would read while doing a Power Point presentation to the Board

i. Determine who the key players are

ii. Describe any known or possible issues that might arise as to why the project will not be approved

c. Along with the outline, justify, support, and develop a minimum of 5 different and unique analysis diagrams that use appropriate UML syntax. In other words, 5 diagrams of the same type is insufficient to show the entire analysis process. Select 5 different diagrams from the following options:

i. Use cases and use case descriptions

ii. Activity diagrams

iii. CRC cards with your use cases

iv. Class diagrams

v. Entity relationship diagrams for any necessary databases

vi. Object diagrams

vii. Sequence diagrams

viii. Decision Trees

ix. Functional Decomposition Diagram

x. State machine diagrams

xi. Communication diagrams

c) Design Phase(Chapters 9-11)

a. Determine the hardware and software requirements

i. Will the existing infrastructure support the project?

1. If not, describe in detail what will be needed.

ii. Is new hardware required?

iii. Is new software required?

1. If new software is required, how will it be obtained?

2. Is the existing database adequate?

b. Design your information system with a minimum of 2 diagrams and/or graphical user interfaces. You can choose from the following diagrams:

i. A front-end UI proto-type (the back-end code is not necessary)

1. You can use a web language to design the web front-end

2. You can use a VB, C#, Java, or alternative programming IDE to design your front-end, the code is unnecessary, only the UI design

3. You can use Adobe Photoshop or a similar front-end design application

ii. Package diagrams

iii. Infrastructure diagram / hardware / data center / network model

1. You can use Visio or a similar application for designs that involve networks or systems, for example

d) Implementation Phase (Chapters 12 & 13)

a. Describe how the system is to be implemented; Phased? Turn key? Mirrored? Parallel?

b. Describe why the implementation you chose is the best for this project.

Answers such as “Yes” or “No” are not sufficient to respond to these questions. Final Project Requirements Create an entire SDLC process that will bring added value to a business. Use of the following is mandatory: 1. Planning Phase a. Identify the project—what is it supposed to do? b. Determine the methodology to be used; describe, in detail, why you chose this methodology c. Define/determine business requirements and describe the techniques you will use to gather this information 2. Analysis Phase a. Describe how this project will bring added value to the business.

Describe any known or possible issues that might arise as to why the project will not be approved b. Along with the outline, prepare a Use Case diagram for the new system—ensure you consider staffing, budgets, training, maintenance, etc. 3. Design Phase a. Determine the hardware and software requirements i. Will the existing infrastructure support the project? 1. If not, describe in detail what will be needed. ii. Is new hardware required? iii. Is new software required? 1. If new software is required, how will it be obtained? 2. Is the existing database adequate? b. Create the Project work plan, complete with (projected) timelines using a Gantt chart. 4. Implementation Phase a. Describe how the system is to be implemented; Phased? Turn key? Mirrored? Parallel? b. Describe why the implementation you chose is the best for this project Make sure to include scholarly article to support your project and proper citations. Based on English · 4-1. Consider the following words with respect to how the sound represented by is pronounced. For each column, specify the phonetic character of the allophone (how it is pronounced). Is it aspirated? Tapped? Then, as was done in this chapter for the allophones of English /p/, describe the allophones of /t/ and specify their distribution. A B C D tougher standing later petunia talker still data potato teller story petal return Examine the careful and casual pronunciations of the English expressions below; then for each one, (a) provide a transcription of the careful pronunciation; (b) identify the name of the phonological process that links them; (c) describe what actually occurs in the process in each particular case. Use one of these as identifiers for the process: Assimilation (ASS); Deletion (DEL); Insertion (INS); Metathesis (MET). An example is given for the first expression. (For this exercise, you may ignore vowel changes.) (Note: /ɱ/ is the IPA symbol for a labiodental nasal.)

Fijian has prenasalized stops among its inventory of phonemes. The prenasalized stop [nd] consists of a nasal pronounced immediately before the stop, with which it forms a single sound unit. Consider the following Fijian words as pronounced in fast speech: vindi ‘to spring up’ dina ‘true’ kenda ‘we’ dalo ‘taro plant’ tiko ‘to stay’ vundi ‘plantain banana’ tutu ‘grandfather’ manda ‘first’ viti ‘Fiji’ tina ‘mother’ dovu ‘sugarcane’ mata ‘eye’ dondo ‘to stretch out one’s hand’ mokiti ‘round’ vevendu (a type of plant) On the basis of these data, determine whether [d], [nd], and [t] are allophones of a single phoneme or constitute two or three separate phonemes. If you find that two of them (or all of them) are allophones of a single phoneme, give the rule that describes the distribution of each allophone. If you analyze all three as separate phonemes, justify your answer. (Note: In Fijian all syllables end in a vowel.) 4-11. The distribution of the sounds [s] and [z] in colloquial Spanish is represented by the following examples in phonetic transcription: izla ‘island’ tʃiste ‘joke’ fuersa ‘force’ eski ‘ski’ peskado ‘fish’ riezgo ‘risk’ muskulo ‘muscle’ fiskal ‘fiscal’ sin ‘without’ rezvalar ‘to slip’ rasko ‘I scratch’ dezde ‘since’ resto ‘remainder’ razgo ‘feature’ mizmo ‘same’ beizbɔl ‘baseball’ espalda ‘back’ mas ‘more’ Are [s] and [z] distinct phonemes of Spanish or allophones of a single phoneme? If they are distinct phonemes, support your answer. If they are allophones of the same phoneme, specify their distribution.
