IT Systems Design and Analysis
Prepare to design, analyze, and evaluate IT systems using data flow diagrams, ERDs, UML, and feasibility analysis. Learn to assess existing systems, identify inefficiencies, compare solution alternatives, and deliver a digital transformation strategy through a hands-on final project.
What you'll learn
- Use DFDs, ERDs, and UML diagrams to model data, workflows, and system architecture
- Analyze existing IT systems to identify performance gaps and UX issues
- Evaluate IT solution alternatives with cost-benefit, feasibility, and risk analysis
- Apply system analysis and modeling techniques in a capstone digital transformation project
Skills you'll gain
- Create data flow diagrams, entity-relationship diagrams, and UML diagrams to visualize data, system architecture, and workflows
- Evaluate existing IT systems by assessing system architecture, features, performance, and UI/UX to identify inefficiencies and propose improvements
- Conduct cost-benefit analyses, operational feasibility studies, and risk assessments to compare IT solution alternatives and recommend solutions
- Integrate system analysis, modeling, and evaluation techniques in a project to propose a digital transformation strategy for a business
