Assignment 2 tends to discuss what skills and characteristics must a system analyst develop in order to be more effective in any design modeling process. Recently we have interviewed Sir Chris of Rhine Marketing. He is a system analyst and According to him as a system analyst it is not only a programming language and it is very essential to consider the time limit of the system being favor by the client, he said also that good communication and socialization to your team mate is a very effective way on developing a good system.

Also consider in designing program it is essential to know the procedure and application of the system in order to easily implement by the user that it is advantage to the user.
The other question that we ask to him is "What are the qualities or Characteristics should a system analyst have?" I summarized his answers in order to become a system analyst; you should have finished a computer science degree course or information technology degree course. An analyst should have knowledge on computer programs for different purposes. Skills are the most effective way to become a better system analyst, skill such as effective conveying information to other people, can appropriately communicate with other people for documenting data, logic and reasoning skills for identifying the strength and weaknesses of alternative solutions or approach to the problem.

What is the importance of SDLC?
The importance of using software development lifecycle is that it helps systems analyst to develop an information system in an organized way for, it has phases -- including requirements, validation, training, and user ownership through investigation, analysis, design, implementation, and maintenance. In developing project using SDLC you cannot jump into the next phase if the current phase you are working is not yet done for, in most cases the output of the first phase happened to be the input of the succeeding phase. That’s why for the documenter to feel at ease in documenting the project he/she must set timelines and work breakdown structures to manage each phases of the cycle effectively.
