Publisher's Synopsis
Systems Analysis and Design Methods, sixth edition, is intended to support one or more practical courses in information systems development, taught to both information systems and business majors.Today's students want to "practice" the application of concepts, not just study applications of concepts. As with the previous editions of this book, the authors wrote it to: (1) balance the coverage of concepts, tools, techniques, and their application, (2) provide the most examples of system analysis and design deliverables available in any book, and (3) balance the coverage of classical methods (such as structured analysis and information engineering) and emerging methods (e.g., object-oriented analysis and rapid application development). Additionally, the textbook can serve the reader as a post-course, professional reference for best current practices.
