Our plan for the day:
- Please complete this brief survey
- Please review the standards we have covered in system fundamentals thus far.
A little less comfortable
Content
You must understand all the standards associated with system fundamentals.
Process
The key question here is how does a system integrate into an organization? You should think about the relationship between a system and the organization it provides value to. You should be thinking about every stage of the lifecycle - introducing the system into the organization, changing the system, and legacy systems / data migration.
Product
Look at any system within an organization and understand how it provides value to the organization.
A little more comfortable
Content
You must understand all the standards associated with system fundamentals. You must be able to teach other people about how to correctly design a system, and what factors come into play when designing a system. You should be able to write quiz questions for content and evaluate if an answer is correct, or which is answer is the most correct.
Process
The key question here is how does a system integrate into an organization? You should think about the relationship between a system and the organization it provides value to. You should be thinking about every stage of the lifecycle - introducing the system into the organization, changing the system, and legacy systems / data migration. You should plan these systems to support a small business, medium business or an enterprise business.
Product
Look at any system within an organization and understand how it provides value to the organization. You should also evalaute how these systems might work better in an organization.
Statement of Inquiry
The big idea for today is System fundamentals.
The essential questions for this topic are:
How do you design a system so it works really well for your client or customer?
It takes time to explore and really understand a big idea. If you want to

We are learning this because as a designers must understand scientific and technical innovation. Designers use systems, models, methods, and processes to solve problems.
Standards
Identify the context for which a new system is planned. Describe the need for change management. Outline compatibility issues resulting from situations including legacy systems or business mergers. Compare the implementation of systems using a clients hardware with hosting systems remotely. Evaluate alternative installation processes. Discuss problems that may arise as a part of data migration. Suggest various types of testing. Identify the relevant stakeholders when planning a new system. Describe methods of obtaining requirements from stakeholders. Describe appropriate techniques for gathering the information needed to arrive at a workable solution. Construct suitable representations to illustrate system requirements. Describe the purpose of prototypes to demonstrate the proposed system to the client.
