SYSTEM MODELLING
DEFINITION
Modeling in system analysis means creating a simplified
representation of a real system or process. It's a way to
describe how a system works, how its parts interact, and what
it’s supposed to do , so that people can understand, analyze,
design, and communicate about it more easily.
• Models are often built in the context of business and IT
system in order to better understand a existing of future
system.
WHY DO WE NEED MODELS
✅ To understand user requirements clearly.
✅ To reduce complexity by breaking down a system into parts.
✅ To spot problems early.
✅ To communicate ideas between stakeholders (users,
designers, developers, managers).
✅ To support design and development.
PURPOSE AND TARGET GROUP OF A
MODEL
• In real life we often observe that the result of a cumbersome, tedious , and expensive
modelling simply disappear in a stack of paper on someone’s desk. We might ask why
this is so. Two factors greatly influence the results of modelling : FOR WHOM do we
create the model and what purpose it is suppose to be used.
• TO DEFINE THE PURPOSE AND TARGET GROUP THE FOLLOWING QUESTION
SHOULD BE ANSWERED
How much business expertise can we expect?
What amount of detail does the target group need?
How much time does the target group have?
What language can be used in the model?
STRUCTURED ANALYSIS
• System analysis refers to methodology for determining and documenting the requirements
for a system. It is a systematic approach, which uses graphical tools that analyze and refine
the objectives of the existing system and develop a new system specification which can be
easily understandable by the user.
STRUCTURED METHOD
Structured method includes a design process model, notation to represent the design, report
formats, rules and design guidelines.
OBJECTIVES OF STRUCTURED METHOD
It ensure that project can successfully continue should a lot staff occur without a damaging
effect on the project.
Develop overall better-quality systems.
CONT.
Improve the way in which projects are controlled and managed.
Allow more effective use of a experienced and inexperienced staff and their
development.
Improve communication between participants in the project.
BENEFIT OF STRUCTURED METHOD

• Better quality
• Improvement of productivity
DISADVANTAGES OF STRUCTURED METHOD
