Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing World

by Rob Jackson, Robert L. Jackson

Help your students develop the solid conceptual, technical, and managerial foundations they need for effective systems analysis design and implementation as well as strong project management skills for systems development with SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND DESIGN IN A CHANGING WORLD, 6E.Authors Satzinger, Jackson, and Burd use a popular, highly effective presentation to teach both traditional (structured) and object-oriented (OO) approaches to systems analysis and design. Now streamlined to 14 chapters, this agile, iterative book emphasizes use case driven techniques as the authors focus on the content that's most important to know for success in systems analysis and design today.The book highlights use cases, use diagrams, and the use case descriptions required for a modeling approach, while demonstrating their application to traditional approaches, Web development approaches, object-oriented approaches, and service-oriented architecture approaches. Students become familiar with the most recent developments and tools as content reflects Microsoft® Project 2010. Expanded coverage of project management in this edition emphasizes issues critical for adaptive projects as well as the traditional predictive approach to projects. A new continuing case study, new mini-projects, and a "Best Practices" feature further strengthen the book's practical applications of skills learned.Expanded Instructor's Materials and CourseMate interactive online resources support the powerful approach found throughout SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND DESIGN IN A CHANGING WORLD, 6E and equip you with time-saving, effective tools to ensure your students gain the strong foundations and skills needed for systems analysis and design success.

Good detailed perspective

[Nathan Wilkie · Rating 4 out of 5]

An okay textbook with a lot of filler. This book builds off of itself quite a bit and creates some issues in understanding what the key takeaways are. It may be that the course I was taking was strait from cengage but tons of rote memorization which is indexed for easy review but not pragmatic in my opinion. If you are looking for getting an overview the material is extremely dry and doesn't have a lot of direct examples leading the book to seem superficial in comparison to a more in depth guide with some specificity. The book does two things okay rather than one thing well. The breadth of the book is why I am giving it a 4/5. If you are taking it for a class it is good to think of it as two courses in one. Depending on your professor you may or may not get any guidance to what the book is actually trying to accomplish. If you don't already understand SQL go with another book. The use of project management near the end of the course seems rudimentary as well but it does give you a vague glimpse into how things get done in the corporate environment (stating this as a former project manager). I'm not sure if there is a better way to put this information together besides splitting the subject into multiple books. If you are trying to absorb it all in one semester good luck.

It was a good book, but I am not really a fan of such a way of designing software. however, it is worth to have a look at it.

This is such a fantastic book! I could not afford the book, so I rented it and I will need to find a cheaper used "like new" version to use as a desk reference in the future. I think I just aged myself, lol, I don't care! This is really a fantastic book and that is saying alot for a textbook!!!
