IT Systems in Organization: SDLC

Important points to recall;

  • To be relevant and competitive, companies and organization will have to introduce IT systems in the operations and processes.
  • IT systems can be introduced in any organization, institution, company, government agencies by either using an existing software/system developed or requesting one to be developed meeting that meets the unique individual requirements.
  • We have clear procedures / guidelines that must be followed to ensure that the introduction of any IT system is successful places introduced.
  • SDLC is one model that is followed to ensure the success of software / IT system introduction; 
  • A System (or Software) Development Lifecycle (SDLC) is useful for managing a planned and controlled development effort. The biggest advantages are that it provides some level of control of the development process to ensure that the ultimate solution is consistent with the original requirements and to ensure that the design process and testing process leading to release of a solution is sound and well-managed.


https://electricalfundablog.com/software-development-life-cycle-sdlc/

https://www.tutorialspoint.com/sdlc/sdlc_overview.htm

Use the following resource for the topic;

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OMCVjH_2goHkFXaUpBZHqZ8pIWTnGbx_yNHgA62m_MA/edit?hl=en_US&pli=1

https://www.innovativearchitects.com/KnowledgeCenter/basic-IT-systems/system-development-life-cycle.aspx

The following are the key stages in the SDLC;

1. Defining the Problem (Assessing the Needs)

    - What are the key activities that take place at this stage? and what is the main aim of this stage?
    - Who is involved in the process?
    - What are the different tools used to ensure successful work of this stage? (data collection)
   
2.  System's  Analysis and Requirements Specification
  a)
 - Define a feasibility study;
 - What are the different types of feasibility study?
 - What are the benefits of conducting a feasibility study? https://www.simplilearn.com/feasibility-study-article

  b) Identification of possible solutions; Why is this important to a systems analyst?

  c) Requirements specification; What are the functional and non- functional requirements specifications? http://rationalizedthoughts.blogspot.co.ke/2005/11/what-are-requirements-sdlc.html

  d) Justification of preferred solution; How do you arrive that what solution is to be developed?
      - Who is involved and what tools are used to make such decisions?

  e) Project Plan
     - Why a project plans essential in SDLC?
     -  What is a project goal?
     -  What are scope and constraints? Give examples http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/constraint-project-constraint

   f) Project Initiation Document

Strategies for Answering Paper 1 Questions

Writing problems that often appear in examination responses
  • etc. (worth no marks)
  • –> (used in math meaning if…then), do not use in writing
  • & (write out ‘and’)
  • Avoid SMS-speak (‘u’ instead of ‘you’ and other instances)
  • misspelling words that appear in the question or misspelling ITGS words
  • phrases such as ‘it is obvious’ contributes nothing to the argument
Know ITGS terminology and void misunderstandings such as
  • “Internet is broken” meaning the students cannot get access
  • confusing terminology such “tele-conferencing” with “video-conferencing”, “reliability’ with ‘integrity’
  • a flash drive being called a “USB”
  • a server that is “not secure” is not called “insecure”

Extended response Strategies for Paper 1

As a student you should:
  • recognize that the Triangle is a basis for the questions on Paper 1. The structure on Paper 1 questions shows that students must understand the scenario presented, answer questions regarding the IT systems that underpin that scenario and then move on to address social and ethical impacts relating to the stakeholders.
  •  be guided by command terms from pages 71-72 of the Guide throughout the course in all assignments and tests. They need to receive written feedback regarding how well they address the question and the command term in their responses.
  •  learn how to organize the responses to extended response questions, use relevant ITGS terminology (IT terminology and/or social and ethical considerations) and provide evidence (specific examples) and make evaluation(s) and conclusions that go beyond being a repeat of what has been written.

Strategies for answering Paper 1 question

a) Normally 1-2 Marks

Identify: Provide an answer from a number of possibilities.


State: Give a specific name, value or other brief answer without explanation or calculation.

Define: Give the precise meaning of a word, phrase, concept or physical quantity.
    
b) Normally 2-4 Marks
Describe:Give a detailed account, Step by step, give an example where possible

c) Normally 4-6 Marks
Explain:Give a detailed account including reasons or causes; Examples from the stimulus material should used to support the explanation.

 Compare: Give an account of the similarities between two (or more) items or scenarios, referring to both (all) of them throughout. Comparison should be done concurrently.

 Distinguish:  Make clear the differences between two or more concepts or items.

Analyze: Break down in order to bring out the essential elements or structure. Positives & Negatives should brought out.


d) Evaluate, to what extent, discuss, Normally 8 Marks

Evaluate; Make an appraisal by weighing up the strengths and limitations. For every limitation recommend a solution.

Discuss: Offer a considered and balanced review that includes a range of arguments, factors or hypotheses that touches both sides. For every negative impact, recommend a solution. Opinions or conclusions should be presented clearly and supported by appropriate evidence.

To What Extent: Consider the merits and demerits or otherwise of an argument or concept. For the demerits recommend viable solutions. Opinions and conclusions should be presented clearly and supported with appropriate evidence and sound argument.

Justify: Give valid reasons or evidence to support an answer or conclusion.
