System Development Life Cycle
Systems Development life Cycle (SDLC) ➢ The traditional methodology used to develop, maintain, and replace information systems. ➢ The evolution of process that is followed in implementing a computer-based information system subsystem. ➢ Also known as Systems life cycles, Systems Development Methodology, Project Life Cycle, and Methodology.
Participants: ➢ Their participation depends on the strategic value of the project. ➢ Systems Analyst. ➢ Database Administrator. ➢ Network Specialist. ➢ Programmer ➢ Operations Personnel ➢ Executives ➢ MIS/IS Steering Committee ➢ Establishes policies, provides fiscal control, resolves conflict ➢ Project Team ➢ Headed by a Team Leader
Purpose: ➢ To define the activities to be carried out in a system development project. ➢ To introduce consistency among many systems development projects in the same organization. ➢ To provide checkpoints for management control for go/no-go decisions.
SDLC Phases:
Project Planning
Requirements Determination
Analysis
Design
Implementation
Maintenance
Planning Phase:
STEPS: 1. Recognize the problem ➢ What is a problem? ➢ When is a problem advantageous?
2. Define the problem ➢ Is it the correct problem?
3. Set system objectives
