Answer each item below.

1. Discuss the multifaceted skill set required for a successful systems analyst in today's
dynamic IT landscape. How do technical knowledge, communication skills,
understanding of business operations, critical thinking abilities, and proactive career
management contribute to the effectiveness of a systems analyst? In your answer,
consider the importance of adaptability and continuous professional development in
navigating the evolving demands of the field. (15 points)
Answer:
Analysts must be excellent communicators with strong analytical and critical
thinking skills. Because systems analysts transform business requirements into IT
projects, they must be business-savvy as well as technically competent and be equally
comfortable with managers and programmers, who sometimes have different points of
view.
Technical knowledge, communication skills, and proactive career management
contribute to the effectiveness of a system analyst by exploring a business’s existing
technology procedures to ensure that it is operating effectively and successfully. The
system analyst is in charge of the total advancement of software. They play a vital role in
the progress of the system, that’s why these different skills are important because the
system analyst is accountable for analyzing, developing and incorporating computer
dependent information system.
By embracing adaptability and continuous professional in navigating the evolving
demands in the field, individuals can acquire new skills, stay current with industry trends,
and ensure their value in the marketplace because of the rapid technological
advancements, another importance is the need for innovation because In today’s
competitive business landscape, innovation is crucial for success. It enable individuals
and organizations to stay ahead of the curve, identity opportunities, and develop
creative solutions to address emerging challenges. Another is changing work dynamics
because
The nature of work is changing significantly in the workplace. Opportunities in the gig economy,
flexible work hours, and remote employment are become more and more common. Workers need
to become more adaptable in order to deal with these changes, so they can easily transition to
different work settings and schedules. The modern workplace is increasingly requiring cross-
functional collaboration and interdisciplinary work, promoting adaptability and continuous
learning to develop skills for effective work across diverse teams.

2. Critically evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of employing a committee approach for
evaluating systems requests in large companies. How does this approach contribute to a broader
viewpoint, effective prioritization, and mitigation of individual bias in decision-making
processes? In your answer, discuss potential challenges associated with committee-based
evaluations and propose strategies to address them effectively. (15 points)
Answer:
The advantages of employing a committee approach for evaluating systems requests in
large companies it improved service, system requests are often aimed at improving service to
customers or users within the company. Allowing mutual fund investors to check their account
balances on a Web site. It support for new products and services, it can make better performance,
it gives more information to make major decisions on planning, designing, and marketing new
products and services.
The disadvantages of employing a committee approach for evaluating systems requests in
large companies action on requests must wait until the committee meets. Another potential
disadvantage of a committee is that members might favor projects requested by their own
departments, and internal political differences could delay important decisions. M any smaller
companies rely on one person to evaluate system
requests instead of a committee. If only one person has the necessary IT skills and experience,
that person must consult closely with users and managers throughout the company to ensure that
business and operational needs are considered carefully.
This approach contribute to a broader viewpoint, effective prioritization, and mitigation
of individual bias in decision making processes, it can diverse perspectives that leads a more
comprehensive understanding of the potentials implications of proposed systems requests and its
impact, it also help to mitigate individual biases that may occur during the evaluation process that
may lead an organization as a whole.
The potential challenges associated with committee-based evaluations are the resource
constraints and conflict of interest. In resource constraints there are committee members that have
a limited time and have no resources to evaluate the system request that leads to biases and
incomplete assessments, so to address these there should be a training and support to the
members to enhance their skills and knowledge. Give out some time and resources through the
deliberation and analysis of systems requests. In conflict interest there are member of a
committee that have a personal or different interest that leads distractions and can influence
decision making of individuals, so to address these establish a clear guidelines and protocols, also
the individual must separate his/her personal interest that is not part of their business to manage
the conflict of interest of individuals.

3. Examine the significance of conducting a feasibility study in evaluating proposals for various
projects or initiatives. Discuss the four main yardsticks used in feasibility studies—operational,
MLG COLLEGE OF LEARNING, INC.

economic, technical, and schedule feasibility—and explain how each criterion contributes to the
assessment of a proposal's viability. In your response, provide examples to illustrate the
importance of considering multiple dimensions of feasibility in decision-making processes. (60
points)
Answer:
The significance of conducting a feasibility study in evaluating proposals for various
projects or initiatives, feasibility studies help identify potential risks and challenges associated
with a project. By thoroughly examining technical, financial, operational, and market-related
aspects, stakeholders can pinpoint areas of concern and develop strategies to mitigate or manage
these risks effectively.
Operational feasibility is the ability of a suggested system to be utilized successfully
after it has been created. When consumers encounter problems utilizing a new system, it won't
result in the anticipated advantages. Operational feasibility can also be impacted by
organizational culture. Although operational feasibility is hard to measure precisely, it needs to be
thoroughly examined measure precisely, but it needs to be thoroughly examined. It contributes to
the assessment of proposals viability because it assess whether the proposed can be effectively
implemented into other existing operations of organizations. It examines operating procedures,
technology compatibility, resource availability, and risk assessment. So the example of these let's
say that a business wants to introduce a new customer relationship management (CRM) system.
Operational viability would assess if the business has the tools, such as skilled personnel and
software licenses, needed to set up and manage the CRM system. Along with evaluating how well
the new system fits into the organization's current workflows and procedures, it would also assess
how well it can handle any possible risks, like worries about data security.
Economic feasibility means that the projected benefits of the proposed system out-weigh
the estimated cost usually considered the total cost of ownership (TCO), which includes ongoing
support and maintenance costs, as well as acquisition costs. It contributes to the assessment of
proposals viability because it evaluates the financial viability of the proposed project by
analyzing the benefits, costs and potential return on investment. It takes into factors such the
initial investment, ongoing expenses, expected revenue, and cost-benefit analysis. So the example
of these Let's say a business is thinking of replacing its manufacturing machinery in order to
boost productivity and cut expenses. Economic feasibility would evaluate the initial outlay
needed to buy and install the new equipment, continuing maintenance expenses, anticipated cost
savings from higher productivity, and the investment's payback period. It would also assess the
project's financial sustainability by taking into account elements like competitive pricing and
market demand.
Technical feasibility refers to the technical resources needed to develop, purchase, install,
or operate the system. It contributes to the assessment proposals viability because it assesses the
feasibility of a project using available technology and resources, considering factors like system
requirements, compatibility, scalability, and reliability. So the example of these is a software
development company is assessing the technical feasibility of a new mobile application by
evaluating its technical expertise, compatibility with required technology platforms and tools, and
ability to scale without compromising performance or reliability, while also considering potential
technical challenges.
Schedule feasibility means that a project can be implemented in an acceptable time
frame. When assessing schedule feasibility, a systems analyst must consider the interaction
between time and costs. It contributes to the assessment proposals viability the planned project's

ability to be finished within the allotted time or under schedule constraints is assessed by
schedule feasibility. It takes into account variables such the project's scope, timetable,
dependencies, resource availability, and possible dangers or delays. So the example of these let's
say a construction company has a short window of time to complete the construction of a new
office complex. A schedule feasibility analysis would determine whether the project's timeframe
is feasible in light of the project's size and complexity, labor and material availability, permits and
regulatory requirements, and the possibility of delays caused by inclement weather. Along with
identifying potential bottlenecks and critical route operations, it would also make sure the project
stays on time.
