Module 1: Introduction to Designing Business Solutions
This module describes the MSF Process Model and the key activities in designing an application model. It also introduces the case study that will be used throughout the course.
Module 2: Gathering and Analyzing Information
This module describes the various types of information that you need to gather, sources of information, and some techniques for gathering information.
Module 3: Envisioning the Solution
This module describes the responsibilities of team members during this phase, how to define the vision of a project, and how to analyze risks associated with a project.
Module 4: Creating the Conceptual Design
This module explains the purpose of the planning phase and the three design processes that occur during the planning phase: conceptual, logical, and physical design. It will also explain the purpose and benefits of the functional specification and the conceptual design process.
