Program Outline
Degree Overview:
The Integral Software Analysis and Design program is a comprehensive program addressing software modeling in its analysis and design phases. It acknowledges that software is not a static product but evolves from conception, transversally affecting the organization. The program emphasizes an integral analysis and design approach, viewing analysis and design not as static tasks or studies of static subjects, but as modeling tasks oriented toward various dimensions. The ultimate goal is to create software that is a living resource generating profits and/or savings. The program is designed for individuals from diverse fields interested in organizational development through software, as well as those with experience in software analysis and design seeking a comprehensive perspective. Successful completion leads to a Specialization in Integral Software Analysis and Design degree, issued by the enrolling university. Specific objectives include learning organizational tools and modeling methods for software development; developing software as a business process; and understanding software development as a process of organizational integration.
Outline:
The program's structure varies depending on prior qualifications. For students without a previous degree, the program consists of two parts: a first part encompassing subjects (22 credits) and a second part involving case study resolution (10 credits), totaling 32 credits.
