Looking for an expert in the system development process to help answer some interview questions.

Hi there, I am doing a school assignment where we need to reach out and interview someone in the IT world that is knowledgeable in the system development process. If anyone wants to step up to the challenge you would be helping tremendously. Below are some questions if anyone wants to take a crack at it. And if you want to talk to me on private messaging that is perfectly fine as well.

​

Interview Questions:

1 How is the Data Processing/Information Technology department in your company organized and structured? Where does it fit in the overall company organization?

2 Does your company follow a formal Systems Development Life Cycle methodology in the systems development process? If yes – would you be willing to share a copy of this development life cycle? If no – what then is used to instruct programmers about the content of programming assignments?

3 How are employees selected at your company to perform systems functions? (i.e. hired from the outside, trained within the company, etc.).

4 What do you consider the most important characteristics for a systems analyst to have?

5 How does your company establish priorities for new systems projects from all the requests made by user departments?

6 What programming languages did you know going into the job and what did you end up learning.

7 What does a day in the life look like? Has it changed since you started working?

8 How much schooling did you have to go through and did that actually help in the application process? Basically, how much does a higher degree mean in the IT world?

9 What type of certifications do you have or recommend?
