XSIQ * Information Technology - The Analysis Phase: defining information needs The Analysis Phase: defining information needs The process of analysing a computer system starts with a broad look at the system which is then broken down into smaller parts. Each of the smaller parts can then be broken down into even smaller parts and so on. This approach enables a complete analysis to occur, without the initial task appearing to be a task so large as to be unable to be completed. The purpose of the analysis phase of the system development life cycle is to document what the current system does, and highlight the strengths and deficiencies in it. In the analysis of the system, the following should occur: * identification and evaluation of sources of information * identification and description of the types of information needed to analyse the system * identification and description of the types of information needed to design the system * information flow and needs documented using system modeling tools * identification and description of problem areas in the current system, which are grouped and become the basis for the development of the new system.
