1. Create an original infographic using the resources available on the Canva website. Illustrate what the most common roles and responsibilities in the Systems Engineering Lifecycle. Reference ideas mentioned in the video here. Please include a screenshot/pdf of the final result or some instructions on how you created Canva infographic (or a private link to the website).
2. Modeling exercise: Create a model of an organizational system using one of the modeling techniques discussed in Chapter 2 and submit it for evaluation. For this assignment, you must use and reference Chapter 2 material from the pdf book attached below (and any other references on top of that). Please write 800-1200 words.
3. Case Study: System Analysis and Information Gathering
GrocerPlus is a well-established supermarket chain in Metropolis with a successful ten year run that is looking to revamp their inventory management system. Their current system has begun showing signs of inefficiency with frequent mismanagement leading to overstocking or shortage of items, prompting management at GrocerPlus to invest in a robust system with systems analysts and designers as part of their team for this task.
Assignment: Your primary responsibility as part of this team of systems analysts and designers is to gather relevant information on the current system to analyze it, identify its deficiencies, and devise an efficient alternative design. Your main sources will include management staff, store employees, data records, etc.
Your task is to identify and choose interactive yet unobtrusive methods of gathering the required information, which may include interviews, questionnaires, document analysis, observations or using existing system records as means.
Instructions: Establish the methods by which you will gather data regarding the current inventory management system. Ensure your approach includes both interactive and passive methods of gathering this information.
Provide a thorough explanation for each method chosen and their advantages and disadvantages within this project context.
Details each method that will be implemented, detailing what type of information will be gathered through each approach and its importance to systems analysis and design.
Last, compile all of your findings and explanations into an exhaustive report that can be submitted for evaluation.
This case study is intended to challenge your ability to select and justify appropriate information gathering methods in a real-world setting. Your choices will have a substantial effect on the success of analysis and design processes; so it is crucial to carefully consider each option available.
For this assignment, you must use and reference Chapters 4-5 material from the pdf book attached below as well as this and this videos (and any other references on top of that). Please write 1000-1200 words.
4. Exercise 1: Agile Modeling and Prototyping
Assignment: Our team has been assigned the task of creating a new mobile application for “Food2Go”, an expanding food delivery service. Given its highly competitive market, your employer desires using Agile methodology for rapid prototyping.
Your task is to use agile modeling and prototyping techniques to develop a working prototype for the app, which should demonstrate key features like browsing restaurants, placing orders, tracking orders, providing customer feedback, etc.
Instructions: Start by identifying and documenting all the features your prototype should cover, using Agile modeling techniques to model these features, then create a functional prototype which demonstrates them all.
Write a comprehensive outline of your methodology. Provide details as to why and how certain techniques were chosen during development process. Submit both your prototype and written explanation for evaluation.
Exercise 2: Data Flow Diagram (DFD).
Assignment: Your work as a systems analyst at a mid-sized university that’s looking to revamp its student registration system entails creating a Data Flow Diagram (DFD) representing current system requirements.
Registration systems should encompass course listings, student enrollment, billing procedures and record keeping.
Instructions: Begin by identifying key processes and data flows within your system. Produce a DFD that accurately reflects these flows, then write up an explanation as to why you chose this representation of it for the system.
Submit your DFD for evaluation along with its written explanation.
Both exercises will test your abilities to develop models, prototype, and represent system requirements in real-life settings, honing them through practice. Remember that your goal should not simply be completing the task but justifying your choices while showing an in-depth knowledge of methodologies involved
For this assignment, you must use and reference Chapters 6-7 material from the pdf book attached below as well as this, this, and this videos (and any other references on top of that). Please write 1200-1500 words.
