What is Systems Analysis and
Design (SAD)?
• Systems Analysis: understanding and specifying
in detail what an information system should do
• System Design: specifying in detail how the parts
of an information system should be implemented
Why is it important?
• Success of information systems depends on good
SAD
• Widely used in industry - proven techniques
• Part of career growth in IT - lots of interesting and
well-paying jobs!
• Increasing demand for systems analysis skills

world in order to solve business problems
• To introduce you to concepts and methods of SAD
• To describe the systems development life cycle (SDLC)
• To teach you effective methods for gathering essential
information during system analysis
• To teach you approaches to documenting and modeling of
gathered information
• To teach you effective methods for designing systems to solve
problems effectively using technology
