About the Course

Most often, organizations acquire information systems as part of a larger focus on process improvement and efficiency. These organizations need to invest in the right system to meet their needs: right functionality, right size, and for the right price. The business systems analyst role in most organizations is responsible for translating the organization’s needs into requirements, which are then used to select or build the right system for the organization. During the Analysis for Business Systems course, you’ll learn about the standard model for systems development: the systems development lifecycle, or SDLC. You will learn how to read and even create the specific deliverables that business systems analysts prepare during the SDLC. These documents provide guidance to the organization as they determine whether to build or buy and configure a system that meets the organization’s needs....

This is a great course, and Prof. Ken Reily is fantastic! He is very engaging, funny, keeps your attention focused, and shares plenty of examples throughout the course to help you grasp and immediately visualize the application of concepts. What I loved most is how he shared the textbook on which the course is based, but added his own inputs, experience, knowledge to complement the textbook information, which gave me a lot of confidence to learn from him. The recommended textbook is also superb, I studied the lectures and textbook side-by-side and found it very helpful!
