Course Objectives
The course focuses on the introduction of information and communication technologies in organizations and it describes the main steps of the development process: from understanding information requirements to testing the developed solution with the users. ICT projects require several competencies, they need rigorous methodologies where users and IT specialists collaborate, they benefit from the deep understanding of technological and business trends. In synthesis, I.S. development is a really complex process.
In particular, at the end of the course students are able to structure a feasibility study for an ICT project and to model I.S. requirements with formal techniques such as Entity Relationship models and Data Flow Diagrams.
The course aims to combine sound theoretical foundations with field experience. Therefore, the course agenda includes traditional teaching sessions to introduce the theoretical framework, some business presentations and group work on ICT projects.
