Study Notes
SDLC Phases
- The analysis phase involves documenting an organization's current capabilities and identifying new needs.
- The design phase is when the system "blueprint" is finalized.
Implementation and Rollout
- The implementation phase is where the HRIS system is built, tested, and readied for actual rollout.
- The old system is turned off and the new system is put into operation in the implementation phase.
Maintenance and Planning
- The primary objective of the maintenance phase is to ensure the system continues to meet the organization's needs.
- The maintenance phase is not the final phase in the life of an HRIS.
- The planning phase includes both long-range or strategic planning and short-range operational planning.
Additional Notes
- The analysis phase is where an organization's current capabilities are documented and new needs are identified.
- The maintenance phase is sometimes referred to as the 'forgotten phase'.
Test your knowledge about the continuous and iterative nature of planning and analysis in the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) with a focus on HRIS needs analysis. Explore the planning and analysis phases as well as organizational capabilities documentation.
