POST 1

Hello class,

Three possible careers that relate to system requirements and implementation are a implementation specialist, software engineer, and system analyst. All careers seem to be interesting to me because it involves understanding technology and computers. Implementation specialist is a person that helps companies tailor purchased software to a business needs and customizing it. A software engineer is someone who designs software by understanding the companies needs and wants, as well as deciding what is needed to complete the tasks. Finally a system analyst looks at existing systems for companies and helps point out bottle necks or problems that can be solved to make a company run smoother.

All of these jobs use concepts taught in this class whether it be a system requirement specification document, flow charts, or even a system test plan. These documents make each of these jobs easier to accomplish in a organized manner. I would enjoy each of these jobs because the work would be different for each and every project no matter what job I took. I also like the idea of creating something new for companies or fixing existing systems because it leads to a job well done.

Hello to all,

For this discussion we are asked to do the following,

• Select three possible careers that relate to system requirements and implementation planning.
• Discuss what those roles are and how they relate to the concepts taught in this course.
• Explain what you may or may not like about those roles.

Systems Engineer:

According to Indeed, systems engineers are responsible for overseeing all aspects of a project or a system. Their job requires them to develop a system that creates a product from the beginning to the end. (Indeed, 2021). The systems engineer relates the to the concepts taught in this course because people in this field deal with designing and implementing systems, ensuring security, and monitoring system components. The description and the duties of this job are what we are currently learning about in this course. I believe that I would like this role. What I like about this role is that I will be designing and implementing systems. I have found an interest in the responsibilities of the systems engineer and from this course.

Requirements Analyst

The role of a requirements analyst would be to determine the needs of a project. They would be dealing with managers, stakeholders, and software development teams. The responsibilities of a requirements analyst include analyzing requirements for a project, and to determine how to create a system that can be implemented by developers (ZipRecruiter, 2021). This position is relative to the concepts taught in this course because we have learned about system requirements, this position would be part of the implementation team and the requirements analyst would be part of creating and implementing the system. I do not think this would be a job that I would be interested in because I do not want to be part of the planning team, I would much rather be part of the developing team in a project.

Implementation Analyst:

The implementation analyst is responsible for lending help on setting up computer systems and software. According to study.com, they may be responsible for assessing the technological needs of a company and determining which software and hardware they should use for their system. This position relates to the course because like the systems engineer and the requirements analyst, there are many positions to be filled for a system implementation. This position would oversee the system components to determine that the system would produce the expectations of a company. I would not be interested in this position because like I mentioned earlier, I would much rather be part of the developing team.
