1. IT GOVERNANCE
CA Professional Stage, ICAB
Facilitator: Mohammad Abdul Matin
Segment: 5
(Part 1: Reference: 1, Chapter: 12, Section: I)
Developing Business/IT Solutions

2. Systems Thinking
▪ Wholistic process thinking
▪ Interrelationship among the different activites/events
▪ Seeing the “forest” and the “trees”
▪ Seeing the “body” and the “organs”
▪ Helps getting to the actual/right problem (not only to
the symptom/indication/consequence)

3. Systems Approach
▪ The Systems Approach is a problem solving approach
with the following steps:
1. Recognize and define a problem or opportunity using
systems thinking.
2. Develop and evaluate alternative system solutions.
3. Select the system solution that best meets your
requirements.
4. Design the selected system solution.
5. Implement and evaluate the success of the designed system

4. Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
Traditional Approach (Waterfall)
– Investigation
– Analysis
– Design
– Implementation
– Maintenance

8. Systems Analysis
▪ Organizational Analysis
– Business functions
– Business processes and activities
– Organization structures
▪ Present System Analysis (As-is)
– Hardware, software, database, network, people
– Input, processing (rules) and output
▪ Functional Requirement Analysis (To-be)
– User interface
– Processing
– Storage
– Control
