What is analysis in business?
It’s often used to identify problems or opportunities, evaluate options and make informed decisions
What is the SWOT analysis?
It’s a strategic planning technique used to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and Threats involved in a project a business venture
What is root cause analysis?
A methodical approach used
to identify the underlying cause of a problem
What are the 4 different root cause analysis methods covered in class?
- 5 whys
- Fishbone Diagram
- Pareto Chart
- FMEA
What is the 5 whys method?
repeatedly asking “why?” to
uncover the underlying causes
of a problem.
What is the Fishbone (Ishkawa) Diagram?
It identifies many possible causes for an effect problem.
What is the Pareto rule?
A generalized phenomenon that
highlights uneven power distribution
“80% of the issues are determined by 20 % of the causes.”
What’s FMEA?
A Structured & proactive method
used to identify and asses potential failures in a product/service
What does FMEA stand for?
Failure Modes & Effects Analysis
What’s the process for creating an FMEA?
1) Identify the process/subsystem to analyze
2) Identify potential failure
3) Determine the RPN (Severity x Occurrence x Detention)
4) Prioritize the failure models based on the RPN, and identify the high-priority failure models
5) Identify & implement actions to reduce or eliminate the high-priority failure modes
6) Periodically review and update the FMEAS as needed to ensure continuous improvement &, effectiveness in addressing the identified failure modes.
What is an Agile environment?
A workspace or project setting that embraces the principles of agile methodology
What is an agile methodology?
A method that emphasizes flexibility, collaboration iterative progress & quick adaptation to changes
What is a domain model?
It’s a sketch of the elementary entities of the system & the relationship between them. This doesn’t rely on a specific software (platform independent)
What does a domain model consist of?
- Conceptual objects
- Attributes
- Relationships & Multiplicity
What are relationships in a domain model?
It’s a link or association between 2+ entities
What are aggregations & compositions?
They are subsets of association
What’s an aggregation?
It’s a relationship where the child can exist without the parent
What’s a composition?
A relationship where the child cannot exist without the parent
What’s a requirement?
- A need for automation coming from the business’ perspective
OR - A demand for expected behavior & quality required from the system
What focus a “business perspective” requirement does have?
- The business request
- The user request
What can a “system perspective” requirement be?
- Functional
- Non-functional
What is a business requirement?
A high-level statement that defines why a project or a system is needed
What are the key traits of a business requirement?
- Strategic: Tied to long-term goals
- Non-technical: expressed in business terms, not system features
- Scope setting: Guides which user & system requirement are relevant
What are the questions that a Business requirement answer?
- WHY is this initiative important?
- WHAT business problem does it solve
- WHAT value will it create?
