Information Systems Development Strategies
(Faculty: Prof. Dipak Misra)
COURSE OUTLINE
Objectives:
The present day growth in complexity of business processes and systems has necessitated a crystal clear understanding of the complexities and nuances of business processes. This is only possible thro’ an efficient and effective means to approach the development process. Only when the organization has clear understanding of the nitty-gritty of the business processes, can they plan for an effective IT implementation or process automation, or process improvement, or even look for an effective re-engineering. In the past, many re-engineering efforts have failed because the business process models were not developed and understood in the first place. Design of new business systems depends to a large extent on the availability of process models for the existing systems.
Given the above, the objective of the course is to introduce the application of structured methodology in business systems modeling and development also known as the procedure-oriented structured approach. The course will predominantly focus on development of diagrammatic models for various business processes and systems essentially through appropriate business process mapping techniques, which are used for business process improvements and modifications. The business systems modeling techniques can be applied to SME and large enterprises alike.
After a brief exposure to the System Development Life Cycle approaches, the course will provide a broad exposure on various aspects of
Structured System Modeling.
Business process modeling and enhancements are becoming more and more complex, but nevertheless more fascinating too. Regardless of the way an implementation is achieved, each implementation is preceded by a distinct planning phase. To ensure quick, cost-effective business system is developed there needs to be an appropriate strategy both for planning and implementation. Having appreciated these nuances, organizations are increasingly learning and adopting disciplined approaches for system acquisition and/or development.
