System Analysis and Design Project: Allhomes and iTech Case Study

This project analyzes two case studies, Allhomes and iTech, focusing on system analysis and design principles. The Allhomes case study includes a work breakdown structure, task durations, and a Gantt chart illustrating the critical path for the project. The iTech case study also presents a work breakdown structure and Gantt chart, detailing task durations and dependencies. The project utilizes project management methodologies to demonstrate the planning, scheduling, and execution of tasks. The assignment includes visual representations such as diagrams and Gantt charts to illustrate project timelines and task relationships. The project also highlights the application of project management tools and techniques, providing insights into the practical aspects of system analysis and design in real-world scenarios. The project is supported by a bibliography that cites relevant sources in the field of project management.
