SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
Introduction
Case study that is considered for this paper includes the case of a gymnasium known as
Body Sculptures. This is a gymnasium that is based on computer information system and is
capable of tacking as well as monitoring the membership and the activity of the members
associated with the gym facilities (Fang et al.2016). There is a staff management process that is
carried out in the gym by the managers of the gym and the trainers are managed based on the
staff management roster that is scheduled by the manager.
There is also a roster for the member management in the gym. The member management
is also done in Body Sculptures. As the gym is open from 5:00 am to 11:00 pm, there has to be
management of the members in the gym. The members of Body Sculptures have to register
themselves with the system and they have to make payment regarding their session classes that
are taken by them (Isaias and Issa 2015). The members registering in the gym is done by swiping
the card and they have to enter the pin so that they can confirm their registration. All the details
of the members are stored in the database system that will help them to complete their
registration. All these systems that are carried out in the gym are to be designed as the system
analysis and design for the information system.
1. Six Core SDLC Processes
In software engineering, there are different approaches that are needed for developing the
software. For completing the System Development Life Cycle, there are many different
processes that are to be followed. In the SDLC method, there comes the waterfall model, the
agile method, lean project development and many other similar processes that can be used for
developing the system. Any of the methods can be chosen for completing the project (Kjaer et

SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
al.2016). There are steps that are to be followed while developing the system; firstly the
problems that are persisting in the business process or in the existing system, the requirement of
the system and the specification required for gathering is explained in the life cycle, the
designing phase along with the implementation phase of the system is to be identified, testing of
the system and includes the maintenance of the system is to be included in the SDLC method of
developing the project.
There are sic main processes that are to be included in developing the system for the
organization. There are many iterations while developing the system for the Body Sculptures.
The iterations that are included are stated below:
1. Identifying all problem or the need for developing the problem.
2. Planning as well as monitoring the undertaken project stating what to do and what not to do.
3. Discovering as well as understanding details that are related with the problem identified.
4. Designing the components of the systems that can help to solve the need of the software and
solve the problem of the software.
5. Building, testing as well as integrating the components for developing the system.
6. Completing the system testing that will help in successful deployment of the solution.
The steps that explained in the following section briefly:
1. System Planning: This is the most important part in the life cycle of the project. The
project manager and the team actually decides what is to be done in the project and what is not to
be done in the project. There are certain steps that are to be followed in the planning phase which
are listed below:

SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
 Defining problem, all objectives as well as the resources that includes cost of the project
or the resources that are needed for completing the project (Stark 2015).
 Study the ability so that the team is capable of some alternative solution for the system
development. This can be done by arranging meeting with the clients, employees as well
as consultants of the project.
 Study all the ways to make the project in a better way compared to other organizations in
the market.
When all the above listed data are analysed, the project manager are actually left with
three choices: developing new system, improving the system, as well as leaving the system.
2. Analysis: Analysis includes the requirement that are mainly taken form the end user.
The requirements are to be determined as well as documented about what they are expecting
from the project and the way they want the system to perform (Jeong et al.2017). This analysis
steps actually a feasibility study that will state the development of the project determining the
feasibility occasionally, technologically, as well as socially. There is to be a strong
communication between the project manager and the end user so that the requirement gets clear
at the beginning of the project.
3. System Design: The system design phases comes when the requirement of the end
user is clear and is all documented down. This particular phase includes all elements for
developing the development, all components that are to be included in the system, the modules,
the security level as well as all different interfaces that are to be included in the system. In
system design, the designer or the programmer should analysis how to system will work and
what functions will be included in the system. The design of the system and the functions are to

SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
be expanded in this phase that will meet the functional as well as technical requirements for
developing the system.
4. Implementation phase and Deployment phase: This particular phase come when the
requirement of the software is completely clear and the design is understood completely. The
system development actually starts in this particular phase (Tukker et al.2017). Each of the
modules of the system is to be developed in the system. In the SDLC implementation phase and
the deployment phase, the code for the project is being written and the hardware for developing
the system is being stated. In the implementation, the configuration of the project will take place
that will help to tune the project successfully so that the project requirement and functions are
satisfied.
In this particular phase, the system can be deployed and can be installed as per the
premises of the customer so that it can be used in the organization.
5. Testing and System Integration: After all the components are designed and
developed, it is the time to integrate the system (Hauschild and Huijbregts 2015). Introducing all
the different systems will help to analyse as well as obtain the outputs and the particular
behaviour that the system will perform. Testing is another important step that is to be performed
for completing the project. This testing phase helps to ensure the satisfaction of the customer and
needs knowledge in coding, configuration hardware as well as to design the system.
6. System Maintenance: In the maintenance phase, the maintenance is to be done in a
periodic way. This ensures that the project runs without any difficulty and might also include in
replacing the hardware or the software associated with the system (Sánchez-Silva and Klutke
2016). This helps in enhancing the performance of the software and with the current update on

SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
the system the right standard of developing the system is followed. The latest updates on
technology also decreases the security threats on the application software.
All the six phases that are mentioned above in the SDLC method are iterative process
included in the project. To undertake this method, proper communication level is to be taken that
might help in maintaining need of the customer and the prototype when it comes to fulfil the
requirement of the system. Proper customer meetings can be organized that will help to satisfy
the requirement of the customer in the system.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
The above figure shows the critical path method that is included in the project. The
critical path method includes all the tasks that are included in completing the project. The path in
red depicts the critical path method that will be maintained in the project. All the activities in the
critical path method is to be completed in the specified time to complete the project successfully.
The critical path method states the least possible time to complete the project excluding the extra
activities that can be omitted from the project schedule.
The below diagram shows the diagram of the early start and the early finish that is
included in the project (Jackson 2016). The early start, the project early finish, the project late
start and the project late finish is stated in the CPM along with the activity name, the duration of
that particular activity and the total float of that activity. The formula that is included for
calculating the early start of the first activity is zero. The early finish of the first activity is the
sum up of the early start and the early finish. The early start that is calculated from the second
activity is the early finish of the previous activity. The early finish of the second activity is
calculated as the early start of that activity with the duration of that activity. The calculation of
the early start and the early finish is known as the forward pass of calculating the time for all the
activities.
Calculating the late start and the late finish comes under backward calculation. This
calculation is done from the last activity of the project schedule. The late finish of the last
activity will be the early finish of the last activity (Kerzner 2017). The late start of the last
activity will be late finish – duration of the last activity. Except the last activity all other
activities in backward pass will have their late finish as the late start of the preceding activity in
back ward calculation. The late start of those activities will be calculated as be late finish –
duration of that activity. The format of placing all the values in the CPM is shown below in the

diagram. The total float of the activity will be calculated as early start – early finish of that
activity.
