I’m taking a class on System Analysis and Design. The goal of the class is really to cover SDLC’s and specifically the System analysis and requirements gathering aspects of the class.  Now it’s an online course so it’s mostly a project and weekly discussions. The flow goes like this, once a week we get a series of questions and we are required to respond by Thursday. Once we respond we are required to give feedback about other student’s responses.

Give that most developers consider requirements gathering a banal experience AND this blog is for developers, I am going to start posting my in class responses here as well.  I’ll frame the blog post with the class room question, then my response to that question.  With any luck I can share what we are learning (rehashing?) here and this blog can become a little more useful and in more than just a technical capacity.

To catch up I'm going to do a quick triple post to cover all of week one and week 2 questions. So expect to see those by the end of the week.
