analysis strategy and plan

Analysis Strategy

As our group has evaluated, we have agreed to pursue some procedures on how to acquire information for our analysis. The information that will be gathered will become the basis for the thorough development of our system. A strategy is a plan of action designed to achieve a particular goal (Wikipedia.org). These strategies will help us lead to attain our primary target, that is, to create a system that will somehow eventually be a help for the university’s own benefit.
In order for the group to acquire the necessary information, we first analyzed to whom we will address our concerns. With our discussion and brainstorming activity, we have seen that the primary variables involved are the people behind the university publication and some of the college publications as well. They are the ones well versed regarding the operations that will be the basis for us to come up with the As-Is and To-Be System. With this setting, the group will perform some information gathering techniques that will make way for us to gather the necessary data that we need. This approach will be of great contribution for the in-depth and thorough analysis and development of our proposed system. The procedures to be used are:
Interviews – these will inquire the respondents about the processes and other essential details about the services that they have.
Record Assessment – review of the recorded discussion with the person we have interviewed for our basis in picking up the required fine points for our system.



Analysis Plan

Planning for the analysis is critical since it will be a great factor for the success of the development of the stand-alone system and as an integrated system as well. With proper analysis plan, efficient system will be produced based from the data that will be collected through the various approaches in information gathering. Analysis plan has something to do with the analysis strategy. In short, they are much related. Conducting interviews for the university and college publication staffs will be the best tools in obtaining information. This activity is much vital for the conception of the system. Their knowledge is much needed for us to know and give us an idea to what the possible outcome of our system will be.

We have chosen to adopt the Interview scheme in information gathering. Through these interviews, we can simply have the information that we want from our respondents. The key people to be interviewed are the Editors-In-Chief of the existing publications of the University of Southeastern Philippines, including the departmental ones, since they have the potential to answer all of the queries that we have formulated for the system’s study. The organizations that would be interviewed are the “The Collegiate Headlight”, the official student publication of the University of Southeastern Philippines; “CT Signs ‘09”, the college publication of the College of Technology, and “The Eagle”, College of Education’s publication.
