Focus of the Final Paper 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 follows:\u00a0
\nCover Page
\nTitle of paper
\nStudent\u2019s name
\nCourse name and number
\nInstructor\u2019s name
\nDate submitted
\nIntroduction\u00a0 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. If you need assistance with writing a thesis statement, visit the Writing Center\u2019s website for help.
\nBody Make the suggested changes to the PowerPoint assignments for Weeks 1 through 4 based on the constructive feedback provided by your instructor. Do not simply copy and paste your previous assignments into your final paper. Read your writing and improve upon what you have already written to connect everything learned in this class. Be sure that your paper addresses the following points.
\nSystem Overview
\nProvide a brief overview of the proposed business information system and describe
\nWhat it would accomplish for the business organization
\nWho are the stakeholders in the proposed business information system
\nWhat are the business information system requirements
\nHow the requirements are elicited, analyzed, documented, reviewed and confirmed
\nHow would the business analyst ensure the business information system or solution satisfied all stakeholder requirements.
\nExplain 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.
\nBriefly discuss what each stage of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) approach would accomplish in your proposed business information system.
\nRequirements Determination
\nDiscuss 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).
\nCreate a questionnaire that includes at least ten well-written questions that you can use for information gathering.
\nExplain your rationale for the style in which you wrote the questions.
\nIdentify 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.
\nUsing your proposed business information system scenario, discuss at least one example of each of the nine system characteristics:
\nWhat are the Components and Interrelated Components in the proposed business information system,
\nWhat would be the Boundary of the proposed business information system,
\nWhat is the Purpose of the proposed business information system,
\nWhat is the Environment of the proposed business information system,
\nWhat are the Interfaces of the proposed business information system,
\nWhat are the Constraints of the proposed business information system, and
\nWhat are the Inputs and Outputs to the proposed business information system
\nScope and Feasibility
\nExplain the proposed business information system\u2019s scope. Please refer to Table 4-3 in the text
\nDevelop a business information system plan. Please refer to Table 4-4 in the text.
\nAssess the business information system\u2019s feasibility from the system analyst\u2019s perspective by using the six categories of feasibility factors (economic, operational, technical, schedule, legal and contractual, and political feasibility) outlined in the text (Section 4.3 Assessing Project Feasibility).
\nDevelop a Project Scope Statement for the proposed business information system, refer to Figure 4-12 in the text. Include the following categories in the statement:
\nGeneral Project Information,
\nProblem\/Opportunity Statement,
\nProject Objectives,
\nProject Description,
\nBusiness Benefits,
\nProject Deliverables, and
\nEstimated Project Duration.
\nDiagrams
\nDevelop a context-level data-flow diagram for the proposed system (use Fig. 6-5 in the text as a guide). You can use Microsoft PowerPoint to develop the data flow diagrams.
\nDevelop a level-0 diagram for the proposed system (use Fig. 6-6 in the text as a guide).
\nUsing the level-0 diagram that you previously constructed, select one of the level-0 processes and prepare a level-1 diagram (use Fig. 6-8 in the text as a guide).
\nData Modeling
\nFor the proposed business information system and the data flow diagrams developed previously, consider potential customer transactions. Provide a list of all the entities (like supplier, customer, etc.) for which system will need to store information.
\nIdentify a set of attributes for each entity listed above (like customer name, supplier phone).\u00a0See 7.3 Introduction to Entity-Relationship Modeling: Attributes in the text.
\nSpecify an identifier (like employee ID, supplier phone, etc.) for each entity and explain the rules you applied when you selected the identifier.\u00a0See 7.3 Introduction to Entity-Relationship Modeling: Candidate Keys and Identifiers in the text.
\nDevelop an entity-relationship diagram for entity relationships. Be sure to specify the cardinalities for each relationship (use Fig. 7-10 in the text as a guide). Remember, cardinality of a relationship is the number of instances of an entity that can be associated with each instance of another entity.
\nUser Training and Maintenance
\nFor a business analyst, it is also important to plan for training of all users of the system and develop a maintenance plan for the life of the system (use Table 10-5, and 10-6 in the text as a guide). Provide a brief suggested plan for user training.
\nFor the proposed business information system, provide a brief plan for maintenance of the system (use Table 10-7 in the text as a guide).
\nTo ensure readability, supply headings for each section of the body.\u00a0
\nConclusion In your conclusion, restate your thesis statement. Review your conclusions. Include any ideas you have about the business information system that you did not already discuss.
\nReferences Provide an APA-formatted reference list. In addition to the text, cite at least four additional scholarly references from the University of Arizona Global Campus Library to support your discussion.\u00a0
\nThe Final Paper
\nMust be 2400 to 3000 words (eight to 10 double-spaced pages) in length (not including title, diagrams, and references pages).\u00a0 Format the paper according to APA style as outlined in the Writing Center\u00a0(Links to an external site.).
\nMust include a separate title page with the following:
\nTitle of paper
\nStudent\u2019s name
\nCourse name and number
\nInstructor\u2019s name
\nDate submitted
\nMust use at least three scholarly sources in addition to the course text.
\nMust document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Writing Center.
\nMust include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Writing Center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
