In this course, Prof. V. Rajaraman gives 40 video lectures on System Analysis and Design.

Module 1
Data and Information – Types of information: operational, tactical, strategic and statutory – why do we need information systems – management structure – requirements of information at different levels of management – functional allocation of management – requirements of information for various functions – qualities of information – small case study (3 lectures)
Module 2
Systems Analysis and Design Life Cycle: Requirements determination – requirements specifications – feasibility analysis – final specifications – hardware and software study – system design – system implementation – system evaluation – system modification. Role of systems analyst – attributes of a systems analyst – tools used in system analysis (3 lectures)
Module 3
Information gathering – strategies – methods – case study – documenting study – system requirements specification – from narratives of requirements to classification of requirements as strategic, tactical, operational and statutory. Example case study (3 lectures)
Module 4
Feasibility analysis – deciding project goals – examining alternative solutions – cost – benefit analysis – quantifications of costs and benefits – payback period – system proposal preparation for managements – parts and documentation of a proposal – tools for prototype creation (3 lectures)
Module 5
Tools for systems analysts – data flow diagrams – case study for use of DFD, good conventions – leveling of DFDs – leveling rules – logical and physical DFDs – software tools to create DFDs (3 lectures).
Module 6
Structured systems analysis and design – procedure specifications in structured English – examples and cases – decision tables for complex logical specifications – specification oriented design vs procedure oriented design (3 lectures)
Module 7
