Information Technology Training: Systems Design / Implementation Workshop (5 Days)

Purpose - The Systems Design/Implementation Workshop trains the participants in the techniques used to transition from a technology independent data and process model to systems design. Participants will develop the initial design documents during the course of the workshop.

Preparation - In preparation for the Systems Design/Implementation Workshop, the client must have developed a stable data and process model for the appropriate operational areas as well as created systems specifications and requirements for the system.

Activities - The activities during the workshop will include target environment evaluation, alternative design strategies, and design techniques.

Products - The Systems Design/Implementation Workshop will result in the initial database design, initial applications design, systems design project plan and initial user interface designs. The workshop will also teach client personnel the initial skills necessary to complete the systems development and implementation phase.

Participants - Participants in the Systems Design/Implementation Workshop should include systems analyst/designers, programmers, database administrators, and users from all appropriate levels of the client organization.

Scope - The scope of the Systems Design/Implementation project should be identical to the operational data model and process model.

Note: Course material may be subject to modification, based on the needs, capabilities, and interests of the students.
