Document Summary

During the analysis phase, the analyst determines the functional requirements for the new system. The primary deliverable in the analysis phase is the system proposal. Techniques to elicit requirement are discussed, including interviews, jad sessions, questionnaires, document analysis, and observation. The outputs of the planning phase (system request, feasibility study, and project plan), outline the business goals for the new system. These planning phase deliverables are the key inputs into the analysis phase. In the analysis phase, the systems analyst works extensively with the business users of the new system to understand their needs from the new system. The basic process of analysis involves three steps: Define requirements for the new system (to-be system) Newer rad and agile methodologies, such as iterative development, system prototyping, throwaway prototyping, and extreme programming focus almost exclusively on improvements and the to-be system requirements, and devote little time for investigating the current as-is system.
