Study Notes
Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
- SDLC is a multi-stage process for implementing information systems, including planning, analysis, design, implementation, and maintenance.
SDLC: Overview
-
Planning involves long-range goals (e.g., budgeting, HRIS efficiency for users, employee development strategies) and short-range goals (e.g., HRIS development plan, maintenance plan, training plan).
-
Analysis includes needs analysis (e.g., attendance and absence management) and gap analysis (e.g., improving annual salary increases).
SDLC: Design
- Design is the blueprint for the system, involving vendor selection.
SDLC: Implementation
- Implementation involves building, testing, and readying the system for use ("go live").
SDLC: Maintenance
- Maintenance encompasses corrective, adaptive, perfective, and preventative actions.
Analysis Phase
- Needs analysis thoroughly gathers, prioritizes, and documents HR information requirements.
- This process is systematic and logical, with each stage affecting subsequent stages.
- The analysis phase comprises needs analysis planning, observation, exploration, evaluation, and reporting.
Needs Analysis Planning
- Tasks include organizing the needs analysis team, determining management's role, defining goals, and deciding on the tools and techniques to use.
Observation
- Analyzing the current situation
- Defining needs
- Identifying performance gaps
- Classifying data
- Determining priorities
- Reviewing with management
Exploration
- Gathering data using interviews, questionnaires, observations, and focus groups.
Evaluation
- Reviewing and assessing collected data to create a comprehensive understanding of current and desired processes.
- Arranging the data to be useful in the design phase.
- Reviewing data with the team to identify errors, redundancies, and potential improvements.
Reporting
- Summarizing findings and recommendations for the design phase.
- Providing an overview of current systems and processes, along with a description of how a new system can address issues and weaknesses.
