Systems Analysis & Design
A complete requirements study before development: UML and ERD diagrams and a specification any team can build from.
What sinks software projects is rarely weak coding — it is starting to build before understanding the problem. This service is for anyone who wants their system studied properly before spending on development.
We start with sessions with owners and actual users to document current processes as they really run, not as they are assumed to run. Then we define users and roles, write use cases for each role, draw UML diagrams for the core processes, and produce a complete ERD with relationships and constraints.
The deliverable is a requirements document in plain language, with an explicit scope and out-of-scope list and an estimate of phases and duration. The document is yours: build it with us or with any other team. Many clients start with this service alone, to learn the true size of their project before committing a budget.
The problem we solve
The system is clear in your head but not written down, quotes vary wildly because each developer understood something different, or an undocumented system has become hard to extend.
Who this service is for
- Anyone who wants comparable quotes before choosing a developer
- Organisations planning a large system delivered in phases
- In-house technical teams that need a specification to build from
What's included
Documenting reality
Sessions with real users, not desk assumptions.
UML and ERD diagrams
Diagrams any development team can build from.
Explicit scope
What the project includes and excludes, in writing.
The document is yours
Build it with me or any team you choose.
Deliverables
- Complete requirements document
- UML use case and process diagrams
- Database ERD
- Phase and duration estimate
What we need from you
Having these ready shortens the timeline and reduces rework.
- Time from decision-makers and key users for analysis sessions
- The forms, reports and spreadsheets in use today
- Examples of systems you like or dislike
How we set the timeline and cost
Timeline and cost depend on the number of roles and processes to document and the number of analysis sessions. The output is a specification any team can build from, so it is priced separately from development.
