In assignment 3, we were task to interview a System Analyst. On April 29, 2010, we were having an interviewed in SAMULCO or Sta. Ana Multipurpose Cooperative in Uyanguren, Davao City. Together with my classmates in System Analysis and Design 1, we went to the office of SAMULCO to conduct an interview to their MIS Department. We interviewed Mr. James Bautista, a System Analyst in SAMULCO. First we interviewed him about the skills and characteristics must a system analyst develop in order to be more effective in any design modelling process. In this question, Mr. Bautista answered well and gave more important details about the techniques in how to become a good system analyst. He said that being a system analyst must looks into the over-all system and makes good steps before you develop a project. You do not need think as a programmer but think as a common to others. He us three skills and characteristics must a system analyst develop in order to be more productive in any design modeling process, first characteristic is being a System Analyst must be observant, because if you fail to notice the important details it will be failed to you as analyst. Second skills and characteristics must a system analyst develop in order to be more productive in any design modeling process, must have a basic programming skills, because if you do not have a basic programming skills, maybe you will not familiarize in terms of programming and developing the subject and third one is being a system analyst must be able to communicate well; he said that this is very important in terms of developing. In these three skills, as a system analyst you should have knowledge in terms of developing a project, accurate a project with good quality and good class.After answering the first question we proceeded into the second question which was the role of a systems analyst as a project manager. He answered well the question.
The first question were asking him was what is the role (system analyst) as a project manager?, he said that as a system analyst must manages the entire team or the entire project, be required to the time, you will taking the client, talking to the team and talking to the developer. As a system analyst you should able to manage the team, give a better opinion and recommendation about the project, so that the step in developing the project would be successful and has a high quality.

As a system analyst you should responsible every steps and procedure about the project and give a good opinion to exact the planning and developing the project. Always asking and talking in every parts of the team, accurate the wrong steps and wrong decisions in terms of working, also asked the client if what they wanted in generated their project, what output they wanted, so that you could generate a successful output. Talked to the developer if what is the possible output you wanted and if some are missing or lacking, give them a good recommendation and solutions to resolve the wrong mistakes into the right ways. Get the overall output of the project and specification about the system. That the agreement should be finished on time, because in developing a system you should finish the project on time and has a good quality, so that your client will be happy and satisfied about he project and will give you a high pay about the system. Always remember that in developing a good and effective project to your client could build you a better name and trusted and excellence quality to everyone.

Another example of the role of a system analyst as a project manager, must delegate the task to the team, he said you must give the time line to the team and finish the project earlier. Because in every members has their own task and abilities in developing a system, as a system analyst you should be able to set apart in every team their work, so that you can easily finish the project you were develop and each team can contribute a important ideas and give a main procedure the project, because in the end you could construct a good quality system to your client and submit the project on time and earlier. So that your client will be satisfied you work.
In this explanation, you could think that in every team and every task, you should be responsible in developing the project, and also be patience in every failed, because in creating a project we can’t say that there is no obstacle, but there is, so that we could test us how patience we are and how responsible we are. Because every steps we will encounter the problem but just try and try until we succeed and reach our goal. In certain project you will learn more, especially in developing, give a proper training and also teach the right things to do and avoid the bad things to act. Being a system analyst you should be a model to your team guide them into the right ways and give them a proper guidance to perform a good member in the team, because sometimes if there is problem everyone could depend and easily find a better method to resolve the problem.
