System Analysis: Understanding the Components of a System

What is systems analysis?

Systems analysis is a problem-solving approach that requires defining the scope of the system, dividing it into its components, and then identifying and evaluating its problems, opportunities, constraints, and needs.

Answer

Systems analysis

A system refers to a set of integrated parts, steps, or elements to form a more complex structure. For example, a computer system contains electrical pathways, processors, memory, electrical pathways, a power supply, etc. Systems analysis refers to a process of problem-solving that means looking at the larger structure, taking apart the components and finding out how it operates to achieve a particular goal.
