SWDV 650 - Agile Systems Analysis and Design
Credits: Three (3)
Previous system analysis and design methodologies are being replaced with iterative approaches such as agile. This approach leads to faster product deployment at a lower cost with less rework due to missed requirements. This course reviews the development of well written requirements, analysis and design in an agile environment, and enhances student critical thinking skills.
