Welcome to Fiona Darroch's Home Page

 

I am a Lecturer in Information Systems at the Department of Information Systems, Faculty of Business, University of Southern Queensland, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia.

 

My teaching interests are in Systems Analysis and Design, Project Management and Database Design and SQL.

 

I am course leader of CIS3002 Business Systems Analysis, Design and Implementation, a final year course in the undergraduate program.

I am course leader of CIS8010 Information Systems Project Management, which is part of the postgraduate program.

I moved from industry to academia in 2001 and this has given me the opportunity to involve myself in the teaching and research sides of the profession. I have been involved in the computer industry since 1985, originally working as a senior Project Officer on a large-scale implementation for a Government department. This included a variety of responsibilities such as project scheduling, requirements analysis, development of user documentation, Quality Assurance systems, implementation support and management of post implementation issues and problems.

I then moved to private industry and worked as a Senior Business Analyst in the banking and travel industries where I also undertook a variety of tasks relating to project management, requirements analysis, the development and review of system testing and other methodologies.

My husband and I left the city for a sea change to Toowoomba, and we both returned to university studies. I subsequently spent a number of years as a Senior Analyst Programmer, in two different organizations. I am currently studying toward a PhD.
