Objectives and outcomes
Students are introduced to alternative, classical and new techniques of organizational system analysis,
data modelling and business process modelling. They are able to critically choose the most appropriate
techniques for realistic information system design and apply them.
Since each information system is unique, the application of techniques in its design requires careful
analysis of the system and the synthesis of selected techniques.
Lectures
Basic concepts and definitions. Development processes in the life cycle of information systems.
Information systems engineering and reengineering. Strategic planning of information systems
development. System analysis – methods, techniques and tools. Management of information systems
development depending on the choice of methodological approach in design.
An example of an object-oriented approach. Models of relational databases and data warehouses.
Transactional and dimensional data modelling. Business process libraries. Use of data warehouse.
Managing projects whose course is determined using combined and agile methodological approaches.
Documenting information systems. Managing post-project activities aimed at the development and
improvement of information systems. Case studies of information systems projects.
Practical classes
Students apply the chosen approaches to the design of information systems on a real example from the
environment. In doing so, they should synthesise aspects of different approaches and critically look at
alternatives and possibilities for maintaining and developing the designed information system.
