Spurrier and Heikki Topi’s Systems Analysis and Design in an Age of Options (PDF) presents a new and integrated approach to navigating the numerous and highly consequential choices surrounding the modern practice of SA&D. This reflects the vigorous discussion and debate in the field regarding the use of plan-driven, agile, and hybrid project and requirements methodologies, tailoring SA&D for constructing new system features vs. configuring commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software, and object-oriented vs. use of structured techniques. The ebook addresses the reality that all these approaches represent viable options for SA&D that are used in different circumstances and frequently blended in practice. As such, the textbook presents well-defined procedures for optimally choosing among these options and helps college students acquire the skills for executing them.
The ebook Systems Analysis and Design in an Age of Options introduces an original systems development process framework to explicate these challenges. This framework organizes the material and prepares students to artfully combine and optimize choices among these options within a single project. The textbook emphasizes the role of the business analyst as a critical, creative actor in systems development projects throughout all project tasks and phases. It supports the student’s growth toward mastering business analyst competencies, including system design and construction, requirements analysis, and project management.
