Information Systems Analysis

None.

Classes will be taught on a theoretical and practical basis, in computer rooms.

The expositive methodology will be used for the presentation of the curricular unit concepts, supported by practical experimentation through the realization of application exercises of the transmitted concepts.

The Curricular Unit of Information Systems Analysis is a fundamental unit of the master in Management Information Systems.

It is thus intended with this curricular unit to achieve the following objectives:

• Know and learn concepts appropriate to an understanding of what are Information Systems and the role of Information Technology in supporting the operation of Organizational Information Systems.
• Know the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and its stages, with main focus on the stages of planning, analysis and design of Information Systems.
• Know the modeling languages associated with the development of Information Systems, namely the UML language and BPMN.

In terms of competences, it is expected that the learner is able to:

• Identify (know that there are) the problems inherent in the implementation of the phases of analysis and design of Information Systems.
• Discuss (know how to do) alternatives for solving problems inherent to the execution of the phases of analysis and design of Information Systems.
• Perform (know how to do) the tasks of survey, classification and modelling of requirements.
