Rating: - Systems Analysis and Design Methods
This book worked perfect for my class. I encourage everyone that sells a book to include what edition their book is and whether it's the international version or not. This can be critical to the course you are taking.
Rating: - Good
The book has arrived in the range of the days they premised. The qualities of the item and the service are good- they sent the book within a big box filled with many soft balls so that they could protect the hard coverage of the book.
Yeah, it is a good way of shopping. Well, it will be better if the price is lower or the good can arrive sooner. Thank you.

Provides a wonderful scope of systems analysis and design methods, and a bunch of related topics. After reading this book, you should feel comfortable going to any organization and providing them with a model/graphic of their business processes.

It's concisely written but a little verbose at times.

Part 2 spends just one chapter on requirements discovery. This is the one section of the book that I found a lot thinner than it should be. The first problem is that requirements engineering is a field all its own, and has (or should have) direct connections to every work product ... Read More
