Week 3 in FIT2001

OK so I made it to week 3.

Now what did we learn in week three. We'll ZeFrank is one funny dude, thats one thing i definitely remember.

But seriously we looked at the following:

• Overview of analysis and requirements gathering

• Stakeholders and their role

• Techniques for information gathering

– Reviewing existing documents, interviews,
observation, prototyping, JAD

• Validating system requirements

I guess in week three we have taken the first few steps in the Analysis Phase of SDLC. We got to see how analysts gather requirements to determine system needs. We saw how stakeholders such as clients, the users, technicalities all have input into the system and therefore need to be consulted to determine system requirements. we look at at the different techniques in information gathering such as looking at existing documents/forms/procedures within the company, interviewing stakeholders, observing operations directly in action, making mock ups to test drive the systems and JAD Joint Application Design, where all the players get in one room and brainstorm the application through.

We covered many things, but theres many more to come..

see you next week..
