This unit introduces the techniques, tools and models for developing information systems. It aims to develop analytical skills for Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) including systems requirements analysis, problem identification, feasibility analysis, data modelling, use case analysis and design models. Unified Modelling Language (UML) is explored and different analysis and design techniques are examined such as structured and object-oriented design methods and tools. Project management techniques and tools for information systems are also studied.
