System Vision Before starting detailed Systems Analysis activities, a System
Vision document is very helpful to: Determine whether a Systems Request merits further investigation Summarize the justification for a system
The System Vision document should: Summarize the motivations, scope and benefits of a proposed system Allow readers to decide whether the system warrants a more detailed
examination Entice interested individuals to continue reading related documents Serve as the basis for an “elevator pitch” to quickly and effectively
inform partners/investors about the merits of the project

Identify the Problem
System Vision Document Problem Description
What is the problem and idea for the solution? System Capabilities
What are the capabilities the new system will have? Helps define the scope
Business Benefits The benefits that accrue to the organization Tangible (in dollars) and intangible benefits

Existing System Description- Fact Finding
To understand the existing system, your group should perform some Fact Finding which includes:
Interviewing various stakeholders Collecting and analyzing system artifacts Possibly observing users and/or surveying them Drawing a Context Diagram of the system
10
Existing System Description- Artifacts
Request and collect artifacts to better understand the current business processes
Sample artifacts include: Purchase Orders Invoices Reports Instruction Manuals Training Materials Current system software or simulation of this software Basically all documentation that they have or use relative for doing
their business
11
Existing System Description – Context Diagram
Remember that there are only four symbols in DFDs: External Entity (source or sink of data) Process Data Flow Data Stores (not used in a Context Diagram!)
Remember that at least one end of the Data Flow must be connected to a Process!

14
NarrativeAfter completing the existing system’s Fact Finding your
group should be in a good position to write a Narrative to describe the project.
This Narrative can serve as an excellent starting point for subsequent analysis and design activities
15
Reminder – Capstone Project Proposal
Your Capstone Project Proposal is due in two weeks! This means that for the next two weeks you must:
1. Choose a Capstone group to work with for the remainder of semester 5 and all of semester 6!
2. Select a Capstone Project3. Complete your Capstone Proposal
One key part of the Capstone Proposal is the System Vision
Remember that your proposal and project should look beyond a single customer’s current needs
16
Client Presentations Here’s a great opportunity to find about some
potential Capstone projects! More client presentations may be scheduled for the
next class.
17
Group Meetings Please break into your groups to get started on
selecting a Capstone Project and/or planning the first deliverable.
If you do not have a group then use this time to form a group. Remember to choose your group wisely as your group will be expected to work together for all of the 5th and 6th semesters!
