 Systems Analysis Case Study

Assignment Instructions

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to  explore the SDLC (System Development Life Cycle) through a Case Study.

Assignment Directions

1.  Choose any model of the SDLC and analyze the tasks at each stage as described below. Write at least one full paragraph for each stage of the SDLC including what it consists of and how you would apply that stage to the Case Study as described below.

Apply the Systems Development Life Cycle to the case described below.  Choose any model of the Systems Development Life Cycle and analyze the tasks you would need to accomplish at each stage of the Systems Development Life Cycle for that model.  You may use any of the SDLC models I gave you in the Lessons area in the Week 1 or Week 2 Lessons, or any other model of your own choice.  However, be sure to state which model you are using and provide a URL to the resource(s) you consulted on that model so that I can compare your analysis of the case study against the specific Systems Development Life Cycle model that you chose for your analysis.

For example, if the model you follow has a Systems Initiation phase, you should explain to me how you would conduct the initial investigation.  Who are the stakeholders that you would need to talk to?  What information would you need to gather to establish the requirements of the project and how would you gather that information?  What kind of feasibility study would you conduct and how would you do it?  How would you conduct your cost-benefit analysis in this stage?  What should be the end result of this stage?

You will have to identify the appropriate questions to ask yourself and to answer for each stage of your Systems Development Life Cycle, similar to what I have done for the Systems Initiation phase above.  Part of this assignment is for you to understand and explain to me what needs to be accomplished in each phase and how that would specifically look for the Case Study below.

You must use your own general knowledge about organizations to make reasonable assumptions appropriate to the case study, since you will not be given every possible detail of the case.  For example, who do you think the stakeholders would be?  Think about the students, the faculty, the staff and administration of a typical university, etc., and identify all of the possible groups of stakeholders.  You will have to think beyond the short description below and use your own general knowledge to complete the scenario and provide a full analysis of the Case Study.

2.  Include details like specific questions and examples as indicated below.

Be as detailed as possible in your analysis.  For example, if you are discussing how you would conduct a feasibility study, give a couple examples of specific questions you would ask.  For another example, if you are describing how the Systems Design phase applies to the case study, include a couple examples of design items relevant to this case, such as an Entity Relationship Model for part of this system, or an example of a use case for your system, or the details of one or more classes you would create in this system.  In this assignment, you are not required to create full design specifications, but you are encouraged to provide enough examples of design items to demonstrate your understanding of how you would approach the case study.  For example, instead of delineating ALL classes you would need to create, choose one class and develop it as fully as you can, to illustrate that you understand the basics of creating an object class (with a class name, some class attributes, and some appropriate class methods). 

3.  Your paper should contain at least 2-3 pages and up to 1-2 pages of diagrams as indicated below.

Your paper should contain at least 2-3 pages of writing and you are encouraged to also provide up to another 1-2 pages of diagrams (which can be embedded throughout your paper, as appropriate).

Case Study

You are leading a team of software developers at a university.  The university’s President has approached you about developing a new information system for tracking student course registrations.  The system will need to contain information about students, faculty, and courses.  Students should be able to use the system to browse course descriptions and the schedule of classes for each semester, add classes to their schedule, and drop classes from their schedule.

Submission Directions

Start this assignment by reading “Success is no Accident”. Then, create an action plan for your next career move. You may use the Action Plan Template.docx as a reference to organize your paper.

Start by stating your specific primary career goal and in a short narrative describe the implications of your self-assessment (i.e., personality, interest, skills, values) and career exploration (career research, informational interviews, in class speaker’s impact and class discussions) and how those influence or impact your next steps in your career and explain why this is a good fit for you. 

Then in the next section explain how you see your career evolving and devise a strategy for moving towards your ideal future life/work situation (career). Explain in details the interim steps or milestones you have laid out for yourself for the near future (indicate the time frame too). Feel free to elaborate on what type of organization you are working for, what organization culture you prefer, your desired lifestyle, financial expectations, etc…

In the next section under “Key Action Steps” describe specific actions you will take to realize your short-term goals. Move on to specifying needed resources and support in the next two sections.

As a final step, please provide a summary of how has going through this exercise clarified (confused?) or changed your concept of a career and what was your overall learning with regards to your career. Please make sure your answers will not exceed more than 2-3 pages.

Disussion: Politics and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

Regardless of political affiliation, individuals often grow concerned when considering perceived competing interests of government and their impact on topics of interest to them. The realm of healthcare is no different. Some people feel that local, state, and federal policies and legislation can be either helped or hindered by interests other than the benefit to society.

Consider for example that the number one job of a legislator is to be reelected. Cost can be measured in votes as well as dollars. Thus, it is important to consider the legislator’s perspective on either promoting or not promoting a certain initiative in the political landscape.

To Prepare:

· Review the Resources and reflect on efforts to repeal/replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

· Consider who benefits the most when policy is developed and in the context of policy implementation.

By Day 3 of Week 3

Post an explanation for how you think the cost-benefit analysis in the statement from page 27 of Feldstein (2006) affected efforts to repeal/replace the ACA. Then, explain how analyses such as the one portrayed by the Feldstein statement may affect decisions by legislative leaders in recommending or positioning national policies (e.g., Congress’ decisions impacting Medicare or Medicaid).

Guidelines: Support your responses with scholarly academic references using APA style format. Assigned course readings and online library resources are preferred. Weekly lecture notes are designed as overviews to the topic for the respective week and should not serve as a citation or reference.

In your discussion question response, provide a substantive response that illustrates a well-reasoned and thoughtful response; is factually correct with relevant scholarly citations,references, and examples that demonstrates a clear connection to the readings. 

Tasks:

1. The “theory-practice gap,” as some have called it, has prevented our profession from full utilization of its knowledge base in practice, and has impeded the view of nursing as a theoretically based discipline, to its detriment. There are distinctly different viewpoints to this argument, based on the different perspectives of academics and theoreticians on the one hand and that of practitioners on the other. Being honest about your reaction, and applying critical thinking skills to the question, where do you stand on the issue, and why?
2. The development of the discipline of nursing has gone through many stages of philosophical debates. Justify the relevance and utility of the knowledge of theory development to your practice.
