SMB4201 Systems Analysis and Design

Semester 1, 2018

Assessment item 2 – Case study

This case study assesses students’ ability to apply theoretical learning to practical, real world situations. In this assessment students, must form project groups of 3 to 4 students. Each group must prepare a report answering the questions related to the case study tasks.

Date due: Week 5

Value: 35%

The Tasks

You have to read the Sydney Group (SG) Medical System case study and answer the

followings:

1. Identify and briefly describe data structure type at the SG.

2. Select the apparated data modelling method to explain and draw the entities

relationship at SG using standard notations.

3. Based on the project requirements and scope, discuss whether the project schedule is

reasonable? Why or why not?

4. In your opinion and based on project requirements which type of systems development

methodology more suit for the new system development. Justify your answer.

5. Discuss in detail the activities required at each phase of the selected methodology for

developing the project.

6. Propose and explain four types of techniques, models and tools can be used to support

the activities and tasks of SMS development.

7. Suppose you are the IT director at the iTech, and you want to hire a joiner systems

analyst. The person of this position will support other senior systems analysts on the

iTech projects. Write an advertisement that would appear in the local newspapers and

online. In this advertisement, you should list desired skills, experience, and educational

requirements.

Case Study: Sydney Group (SG) Medical System

Sydney Group (SG) medical centre has a number of registered doctors. Attributes of

DOCTORS include Doctor ID and Specialty. Patients are admitted to the centre by doctors.

The attributes of patient include Patient ID and Patient name. Any patient who is admitted

should have exactly one admitted doctor. A doctor may optionally admit any number of

patient. Once a patient admitted, the patient must be treated by at least one doctor.

Any doctor may treat any number of patient or may not treat any patient. For

documentation requirements, the SG centre wants to record the details of the treatment

including date, time, and results.

The SG manger propose a project to develop a new software application for medical system

with the help of iTech center. Project staff will include analyst, designer, programmer and

tester from both centres. Two technical staff members from each centre have been

assigned initially. Two software developers will assign to develop the programs using OOP.

In addition, one-part time nurse will assign from the medical centre. The project has to

consider the followings:

– Allow doctor, nurse, receptionist and management staff at the SG to view patient

history and schedule appointments using any computer inside or outside the centre.

– Upgrade the centre webpage to allow the patients to book online for seeing any

doctor.

– Develop a mobile application using android studio that allow patients to pay bills and

book online.

The SG and iTech anticipate a four-month development schedule for an initial version of the

server’s applications and mobile based client-side application. There month period for the

design and code development and finally one months for the testing.

Report Layout

The analysis report should be organised using the following headings and guidelines:

1. A Cover Title Page 2. Introduction

a. Should clearly define the aims and objectives of the project in the report b. Explain what contents will be covered in the report

3. Data structure types 4. Selection of data modelling method and explaining and drawing the entities

relationship at SG using standard notations. 5. Discussion on the project schedule, Project schedule is reasonable? Why or why not? 6. Selection of suitable system development methodology with justification. 7. Detailed activities at each phase of the selected methodology for project development.

8. Techniques, models and tools to support the project development activities. 9. Joiner systems analyst advertisement. 10. Conclusions and Recommendations.

a. A summary of your findings and your recommendations as to whether or not the project should continue/ how to continue

11. References.
