Course Synopsis This course develops a systematic understanding on the concepts and
practicalities of the information systems development process, with an
emphasis on object oriented approach. The latest analysis requirements and
design specification methods are given detailed coverage. The course will
prepare the students to solve information system development problems in
organizations.

Course The main objectives of this course are as follows:

Objectives i. To understand major alternative methodologies used in developing
information systems and the considerations involved in choosing which
methodology to use;
ii. To understand a variety of planning, analysis and design methods, and
techniques in system development; and
iii. To provide an opportunity to work within a team to learn different
strategies in solving business problems.

Learning At the end of the course, students should be able to:

Outcomes
1. Distinguish and describe major alternative methodologies in
information system development;
2. Identify business issues and create system proposal;
3. Apply requirements gathering techniques and prepare requirements
definitions;
4. Evaluate business requirement, prepare system design specifications
and create system prototype; and
5. Demonstrate interpersonal, technical, analytical, planning and
leadership skills through working within a team as well as
individually.
