Update No. 2

Hello again

Apologies, I would have updated sooner but the last few days have been a little hectic.

So, finally I am fully enrolled at university and I have picked up a couple of books from the library:

1. Soft Systems Methodology in Action (Checkland and Scholes)


2. Information, Systems and Information Systems (Checkland & Holwell)

Both books based on Systems Analysis and more specifically Soft Systems Methodology (SSM). I read the second (ISIS) around this time last year – it’s a pretty interesting book I guess in a lot of respects aimed kind of business minded people (managers, execs etc).
The first, (SSM in action) I have just started reading.

I’ll keep you guys posted over the next few updates until ive finished reading it. I’m really just reading to brush up my knowledge and pick up on some of the things I didn’t learn the first time around.

Again, still not 100% sure on a project idea – few ideas kicking around – and I’ll have to make some arrangements this week to meet with my supervisor.

I’ll keep this short and hopefully in the next update I’ll have something a little more stimulating to say :)

To Do...

1. Again arrange to meet with my Project Supervisor


2. Again, read and brush-up on SSM


3. Begin putting together that Rich Picture on ME! (including aspects like constraints etc)


4. Finally to perhaps look at putting a Gantt/time chart and really start thinking about my project spec which will of course need to be done sometime in the very near future
