Discuss the role of a systems analyst as a project manager. You need to interview an analyst/project manager …
The life of a systems analyst in in a company is full of big responsibilities. Issues is always one of the toughest they have been facing all the time in which it totally needs their skills in decision making and problem solving. In a deeper sense, they mostly seems to be immune already of the happenings inside and outside of the company. Surely, minds of them always asking questions such as he or she is doing the right or is he or she is on the other way around. Of being the decision maker and problem solver, we can probably say that the whole industry relies most of their life unto them. We are also a systems analyst of our own life and only it is up to us if we know how to handle it in fact that is what the system analyst itself always doing for the company's integrity and progress. And the mere truth about it, is that their job is really not that easy to work with because if you may think solving problems that bigger is like you are carrying the whole world as well. Without this important people and and without a kind of characteristic ans skills like this, I predict that the world will be filled with unsolved problems and failures. From that given scenario, we somehow barely understand that the real existence of systems analyst in the industry is for the improvement and success of everybody. Though competition with in the companies are always there, still their purpose is to help people and the country to be more progressive and productive. It is better to really understand the overall activity they always doing so that we will not remain judgmental to our own people whom just want to fix the mess that somehow people may have caused. From that way, we can even help lessen certain issues and most especially lightens their working activity. In the company, employees must also be open-minded and generous in stating their ideas to the system analyst so that he or she could balance things well. Having others views and opinions, the system analyst can somehow get some points and answers from them, who knows? It is not always that the systems analyst mind always knows this kind of problem and it is not bad to ask others about it. Though it is your job, it does not mean you will not accept their part of course you both belong on the same company and you both have the same goal to gave the company its longing success in its entire residence in the in the industry. As long as they were there and continue to serve companies, we can say that there no problems that can not be solve. The are the means of companies that is why there are certain corporations remain standing. But others were not as lucky as them because probably not all decisions succeeded and maybe the company itself hired a system analyst that is not skilled and knowledgeable enough at that certain field. Companies must also seek proper person for that job so that company will not regret in the end. Since we have already learned a lot of things about systems analyst, we will now come to a point of learning about systems analyst as a project manager. Mainly at this level of job a system analyst is kinda different wherein certain projects are now involve. As what I learned about it and from the interview that we done at PIADI (Printing Association of Davao Incorporated), the project manager has that tasked to do a project in accordance to the requirements given by their clients. And aligned to that job, the project manager will be managing a team that will be working on ti. Prior to to the role of the project manager in the company, he or she should also develop a system that would achieve to the expected needs of their users. The developing team and project manager must have an open communication to its client to be able to cope up with their prescribe standards and requirement. Without consulting them and you as the project manager will just develop a system with what you believe can help is not a proper thing to do. The clients knows most of their business then they should be followed and that is one part of the role of the systems analyst as a project manager to be able to satisfy the needs of their users. Many projects which failed risked billions of money so that is why sometimes companies intend not to risk because they were afraid of losing some of their resources that they have been working on for a long time. The reasons for this failure maybe there are incomplete or changing requirements, lack of resources, lack of executive support, unclear objectives etc. That is just few reasons why projects never succeeded. The role also of the project manager is to see to it that failure will not prevail and before he or she would start the project, he or she must follow certain guidelines for a successful project to prevent failures and inconsistencies in their system. If that aspect is being applied, we must say that a consistent project will be done. Being a project manager, you must also consider that teamwork in your group so there be no conflicts will occur. The project manager as he cited an example where teamwork never existed such as when one person in the group never wanted any help because he or she believes that he or she can do the work by his or her own self and even opinions from others he or she never intend to listen. When that happens, the project will never be in progress and it will just end up useless. So as a project manager, he or she should look on his or her team to solve the issue as earlier as possible. It is very important that the group communicates and interact since all of you want the best for your project and the best for your clients. To sum it up, truly the role of a systems analyst as a project manager is to see to it that the team have an open communication to their clients, he or she (project manager) should follow guidelines to have a successful project, the group he or she handles must be skillful and responsible through their actions towards work and towards others, and lastly, project manager accompanied by his or her group must be able to create a system that would satisfy the needs of their clients.
