Course Description

This course elaborates both structured and object-oriented methods and techniques used in development of complex information systems for end users. The course examines analysis and design techniques, feasibility analysis, information systems development approaches and architectures, systems testing, and system conversion, production and maintenance procedures. Special attention is payed to information system and software development methodologies. Enterprise resource planning specifics are discussed. Project management issues with respect to information system development are considered. The lectures are corroborated by case studies of actual professional projects of the lecturers.
