Slide 25 of 65
Notes:
How does the systems analyst obtain facts through observation? Does one simply arrive at the observation site and begin recording everything that's viewed? Of course not. Much preparation should take place in advance. The analyst must determine how data will actually be captured. Will it be necessary to have special forms on which to quickly record data? Will the individual(s) being observed be bothered by having someone watch and record their actions? When are the low, normal, and peak periods of operations for the task to be observed? The systems analyst must identify the ideal time to observe a particular aspect of the system.
