In the CS 499 capstone course, I have learned a lot and have personally developed in both technical and interpersonal areas that are relevant in my career as a systems analysis. Some key areas of learning stand out:
Enhanced Systems Analysis Skills: The course offered a great chance to improve the systems analysis skills, especially while developing and improving the software design documentation. What I first thought of as mere paperwork I had to complete became the means of conveying technical information to people of both technical and non-technical backgrounds. Apart from enhancing my analytical skills, the process of breaking and diagramming the systems has equipped me with the skills required in a professional environment.
Importance of Effective Communication: Another important thing that was pointed out in the work of the scholars was the importance of communication. In the discussion posts, peer reviews, or while creating and presenting the artifacts in the ePortfolio, I understood how important it is to explain technical concepts. This skill is essential in systems analysis, where one has to be able to close the gap between technical specifications and organizational requirements. It assisted me in gaining confidence in questioning and interacting with the peers, which is crucial in business.
Professional Introduction: Hi everybody, my name is Elora Newcomb and my main field of specialization is systems analysis. I am interested in engineering and enhancement of large scale systems that are functional and effective in the commercial world. At the moment I am also learning more about cloud computing and ways of optimizing a system. The best example of my work that can be delivered is the refined software design document I designed during the capstone project. This document proves my ability to analyze and explain complex system details and I am willing to do this in my career.
