Systems Design and Implementation Techniques training – 3 days – £1195 + vat – dates
Systems Design and Implementation Techniques Training - ISEB Accredited
This Systems Design and Implementation Techniques training course is designed to be both practical and participative. Theoretical concepts are introduced and are then reinforced through practical exercises where participants can apply the skills and techniques of design in a realistic project simulation.
The Systems Design and Implementation Techniques course takes a "tool-kit" approach to Systems Design, introducing models from the UML (such as sequence diagrams and state machine diagrams) alongside established models like the normalised data model and Structured English. It is appropriate to designers working in all software environments, including those primarily working on system enhancements.
Systems Design and Implementation Techniques Training Course Objectives
At the end of this course participants will be able to:
- Explain the role and objectives of systems design and implementation in the systems development lifecycle
- Define the objectives and constraints of design
- Design effective inputs, outputs and interfaces
- Normalise a restricted set of inputs and outputs
- Develop a "bottom-up" data model from normalised data
- Define logical process specification using Data Action Diagrams and Interaction Diagrams
- Produce a strategy for effective physical design
- Develop a state machine diagram
- Understand and apply the principles of security, confidentiality and privacy
- Describe the role of testing in systems design
- Describe and evaluate different methods of systems implementation
- Analyse training needs and select an appropriate training method
- Describe a range of post-implementation issues
