Unit 2 discn
Topic 1: Systems Analyst
Wow! We’ve already learned a lot about our new role
as a System Analyst. It’s time to ensure that everyone is one the “same page”
Let’s utilize this discussion thread to address the following questions:
1.
What does a Systems Analyst do?
2.
What skills are required for this very important role?
3.
If we don’t have all the necessary skills, where might we go to acquire
the ones we are missing?
4.
Why is our new role important to the development of information systems?
Please keep in mind that Systems Analysts are
required to provide quality work at all times! Quality posts are more than just
a two or three sentence response. Invest some time to share what you’ve learned
with your classmates. Your instructor can provide further clarification as to
what is expected in a quality response.

each of them?
