Structured Analysis and Design
5 Days
Structured System Design consists of a series of presentations, discussions, and exercises. A workshop session is used to refine and reinforce the concepts of the seminar. This class is based on the transition from Structured Systems Analysis to Structured Systems Design. The characteristics of the major Structured System Design tool - the Structure Chart - are presented in detail. Two strategies are presented and discussed for developing Structured Charts based on Data Flow Diagrams (Transaction-Centered and Transform-Centered).

Several approaches are presented for determining the "correctness" of a structured chart's design. A workshop case study is used to practice the development of structure charts; and analysis of the "correctness" of this structure chart.

AUDIENCE Structured System Design is intended for Programmers, System Analysts, System Designers, Project Leaders, Project Managers, and System End Users who are involved in the design of application systems. Familiarity with the Systems Design process is desirable but not required.
