What is the purpose of system analysis? Why is it important? - Answer✔✔-To enable the system
developer to understand the users requirements. Without a good analysis of the users needs and
requirements the new system will be inadequate in its solution or erroneous in its implementation.
What is the difference between system analysis and system design? - Answer✔✔-System analysis is to
determine what the new system should do. It is discovery and understanding. System design is to
determine how the new system should be built. It is structure and architecture.
What is a project? - Answer✔✔-A planned undertaking that has a beginning and an end and which
usually produces some predefined result. It is often managed with a schedule or list of required
activities.
What is the purpose of the system development life cycle (SDLC)? - Answer✔✔-It is a project

What is meant by Agile Development and Iterative Development? - Answer✔✔-Agile development is a
philosophy of systems development that emphasizes flexibility to handle changing requirements during
the development project.
Iterative development is an approach to system development in which the system is "grown" piece by
piece through multiple mini-projects called iterations.
What is the purpose of a System Vision Document? - Answer✔✔-The System Vision Document is a brief
