Weekly Question: 1

Ella Peltier - June 18, 2022 1 Comment

The main difference between the models waterfall and agile, is that with the waterfall model, software development is to be completed as one single project, which is then divided into different phases: Requirement Analysis, Designing, Coding, Testing and UAT(Bug). However, with the agile SDLC, it can be considered as a collection of many different projects, which are nothing but divided into sprints and each Sprint is divided into Requirement Analysis, Designing, Coding, Testing and UAT(Bug). This means that every sprint has to go through all the phases specified, so the Agile model produces quality output. MIS’s definition is management information systems. It is the study of people, technology, organizations, and the relationships among them. Professionals who specialize in MIS help firms realize maximum benefit from investment in personnel, equipment, and Buisness processes. It is also a people-oriented field with a prominence through technology. MIS professionals main job is to use technology to solve day-t0-day business problems. An information system is an integrated set of components for collecting, storing, and processing data, as well as providing information, knowledge, and digital products. The main aspects of a system is people + process + technology, which are all managed by MIS professionals. These systems surround us everyday electronically through phones, computers, tablets, etc. The 4 core processes of designing a UX (user experience) is problem definition, documenting business processes, process decomposition, and data modeling. System analysis is another big part of information systems, it is the process of observing systems for troubleshooting or development purposes. System analysis is typically conducted to study a system or its parts in order to identify its objectives. It’s more of a problem solving technique to improve the system and ensure that all parts of the system work efficiently to accomplish their specified purpose.
