    The purposes of Analysis &amp;amp; Design are:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
        To transform the requirements into a design of the system-to-be.
    &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
        To evolve a robust architecture for the system.
    &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
        To adapt the design to match the implementation environment.
    &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    The Analysis &amp;amp; Design discipline is related to other disciplines, as follows:
