ACTIVITY DIAGRAM

SYSANAL ESSAY

1. In your opinion, should a systems analyst be technical? Why or why not?

• systems analyst should have technical knowledge. Because a systems analyst is the bridge that connects technical people. Since technical people may have problems understanding requests from clients, it is the systems analyst's job to ensure that both sides understand each other. And the role of a Systems Analyst is important in any organization and Systems Analysts are the one who selects and configures computer systems for an organization or business. For me if you're not technical and you're a systems analyst, things would go out of hand.

2. What do you think is the unique edge/asset of a Systems Analyst against other I.T and non I.T roles/skills? Elaborate.

• A Systems Analyst is unique, Systems Analyst are not just conducting methodical study but also evaluating various aspects related to business. Interpersonal skill is the unique asset of a System analyst, and the reason why I chose this skill is because of the vital part in the analyst's main role which is to be the bridge that connects technical and non-technical people.  And being the bridge means that one must be able to connect the two together, enabling them to understand each other so as to achieve the desired result from both parties. 

3. What are your thoughts on diff. systems being specific to diff. groups on the organizational pyramid? Why is this the case? i.e Why can't Executives use TPS?

• because each systems has its own important role in the organizational pyramid like Transaction Processing System it is only specific in the Operational-Level System because they’re the ones who are making the Order Tracking System, Payroll System etc.. And I believe that even though there are different systems specific to different groups, each group must still have knowledge on  the other kinds of systems.

4. What are your thoughts on Waterfall VS Agile? Which is better over the other? In what kind of project or products does each one work best?

• Waterfall model because it is easy to use, widely known and used, Identifies deliverable s and milestones and works well on mature products and teams. and straightforward whereas the Agile model is more practical, realistic and informative.

5. What makes a great interview? What makes a great interviewer? Share your thoughts.

• Anyone can be a great interviewer but it will take time and a lot of practice. Great interview is something that is close to a realistic conversation.  It must be well planned, making use of the five steps, must contain both the two basic types of questions, open-ended and closed, along with the other two which are bipolar and probes and must be a mixture of a structured interview and an unstructured one. A great interviewer should open the conversation to a point where it makes the interviewed person comfortable and open to being subjected to questioning.
