Chapter Objectives When you complete this chapter you will be able to: • Create a user-friendly model of how the system works • Create a user-friendly model of functions and services the system provides • Create a system flowchart • Develop several elementary project management tools Systems Analysis and Design for the Small Enterprise 2 Chapter 6
The User’s System Diagram • The user’s system diagram (USD) is an image-based, iconographic version of the DFD • The USD facilitates communication between the user and analyst Systems Analysis and Design for the Small Enterprise 3 Chapter 6

The Cornucopia Case The formal analysis of the current system concludes with the development of system models. At this point in the process the analysts have a good understanding of the old system and, perhaps surprisingly, a rough idea of what the new system will include.
