Project: TriMet Public Transportation located in Portland, Oregon (see previous PowerPoint for additional information)
Construct a system analysis paper based on your weekly presentations. Please note this is an individual paper. The paper should represent the research and recommendations you have performed for the proposed business information system over the previous four weeks in a cohesive format. Your paper should demonstrate critical thought. The paper should be 2400 to 3000 words, excluding the title, diagrams, and reference pages. The structure of the paper should be as follow
- Introduction
The introduction should familiarize the reader with the proposed business information system and outline the major points that you will cover in the paper. It should include your thesis statement. - Body
- System Overview
- Provide a brief overview of the proposed business information system and describe
- What it would accomplish for the business organization
- Who are the stakeholders in the proposed business information system
- What are the business information system requirements
- How the requirements are elicited, analyzed, documented, reviewed, and confirmed
- How would the business analyst ensure the business information system or solution satisfied all stakeholder requirements?
- Explain which of the potential approaches to system development (computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools, joint application design (JAD), rapid application development (RAD), participatory design (PD), or the use of Agile Methodologies should be considered for the proposed business information system design. Support your explanation with examples from your own experiences and/or from any scholarly journal citations.
- Briefly discuss what each stage of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) approach would accomplish in your proposed business information system.
- Provide a brief overview of the proposed business information system and describe
- Requirements Determination
- Discuss the types of documents that would be useful to analyze for requirements gathering purposes and why they would be important. Additionally, discuss which documents would be possible to obtain as well as which ones would be difficult to obtain (think about the records and knowledge keeping within the organization, some information resides in specific documents while some is scattered throughout the organization).
- Create a questionnaire that includes at least ten well-written questions that you can use for information gathering.
- Explain your rationale for the style in which you wrote the questions.
- Identify which modern requirements determination methods (Joint Application Design and/or Prototyping) would be appropriate for this business information system and explain why you think they would be suitable.
- Using your proposed business information system scenario, discuss at least one example of each of the nine system characteristics:
- What are the Components and Interrelated Components in the proposed business information system,
- What would be the Boundary of the proposed business information system,
- What is the Purpose of the proposed business information system,
- What is the Environment of the proposed business information system,
- What are the Interfaces of the proposed business information system,
- What are the Constraints of the proposed business information system, and
- What are the Inputs and Outputs to the proposed business information sy
