About the Course:

A practical approach to the successful design & deployment of systems:
The design of business systems must give solutions that fit the analysis requirements. Good design and planned system roll-out is therefore essential for the successful implementation of a new system.

Development and implementation therefore needs successful design of processes, data and the user interface, followed by intensive testing and careful planning of the roll-out itself, which includes considering the impact of change.

This course introduces the concepts of system design, and considers a wide selection of testing and implementation activities to ensure a smooth transition to the new system. The concepts covered are equally relevant to bespoke and package solutions and can be used in structured, RAD and incremental development.

Course Objectives:
To provide an introduction to system modelling and design principles.

Who will the course benefit?
New entrants to IT requiring the basic skills of design, testing, implementation and post-implementation review. IT and user staff involved in the design and rollout of new systems/major enhancements. Business and Systems Analysts who need to ensure that the benefits of new systems are realised.

What skills will the delegate gain?
This course will enable delegates to: 
- Use techniques to design processes, databases and user interfaces. 
- Perform design inspections. 
- Plan and attend facilitated workshops. 
- Produce clear and comprehensive specifications. 
- Develop test strategies and plan testing. 
- Analyse development risks and produce contingency plans. 
- Develop implementation plans.

Pre-Requisites:
