SYSTEM ANAYLYS

A systems analyst is a person who uses analysis and design techniques to solve business problems using information technology. Systems analysts may serve as change agents who identify the organizational improvements needed, design systems to implement those changes, and train and motivate others to use the systems

A systems analyst is typically confined to an assigned or given system and will often work in conjunction with a business analyst. These roles, although having some overlap, are not the same. A business analyst will evaluate the business need and identify the appropriate solution and, to some degree, design a solution without diving too deep into its technical components, relying instead on a systems analyst to do so. A systems analyst will often evaluate and modify code as well as review scripting.

Roles of System AnalystEdit

A systems analyst may:

• Identify, understand and plan for organizational and human impacts of planned systems, and ensure that new technical requirements are properly integrated with existing processes and skill sets.
• Plan a system flow from the ground up.
• Interact with internal users and customers to learn and document requirements that are then used to produce business required documents.
• Write technical requirements from a critical phase.
• Interact with software architect to understand software limitations.
• Help programmers during system development, e.g. provide use cases, flowcharts, UML and BPMN diagrams.
• Document requirements or contribute to user manuals.
• Whenever a development process is conducted, the system analyst is responsible for designing components and providing that information to the developer
