Tools , methodologies, techniques to solve problems
Project overview
- Learning management systems (LMS)
Organizations
- What is an organization?
o Mission

understand mission
▪ Goals are measurable
o Structures

o Lots of things/entities working together
o Interconnected set of coherently organized elements that work together to a
achieve something
o Examples: Amazon, Sub Pop
- Business process – a set of activities that can deliver a product or service to a customer
- Information systems
o People, processes, and IT
o Resulting in collecting, processing, creating, storing, and distributing information
- Information systems architecture
o Enterprise systems
▪ Systems used by companies to facilitate core business processes
Document Summary
Systems analysis and design holistic approach to understanding the needs of a system. What is an organization: mission, goals goal to support its mission; gives a structure by which members can understand mission, goals are measurable, structures, management, processes, activities. Span of control ensure that the right people are doing the right thing at the right time. Organizational structures: mechanistic model, organic model, more modern approach; people in different roles work together. Types of organization government, public, private, nonprofit, ngos, etc. What is a system: lots of things/entities working together. Interconnected set of coherently organized elements that work together to a achieve something: examples: amazon, sub pop. Business process a set of activities that can deliver a product or service to a customer. Information systems: people, processes, and it, resulting in collecting, processing, creating, storing, and distributing information. Information systems architecture: enterprise systems, systems used by companies to facilitate core business processes.
