Study Notes
System Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
- SDLC is a process for understanding how an Information System (IS) can support business needs, designing the system, building it, and delivering it to users.
- The SDLC generally consists of four fundamental phases: Planning, Analysis, Design, and Implementation.
- The phases can follow sequentially, iteratively, concurrently, or in a different order depending on the project.
Planning Phase
- The planning phase answers the question "Why should we build a system?"
- Planning involves two steps: Project Initiation and Project Approval.
Project Initiation
- The system request document explains the business reasons for building the system and its potential value.
- It is suggested and performed by the project sponsor and submitted to the approval committee.
- It includes:
- Project sponsor - the primary contact for the project.
- Business need - the reason for building the system.
- Business requirements - the capabilities the system will provide.
- Business value - the benefits the system will create.
- Special issues or constraints - relevant issues regarding implementation.
Project Approval
- The Information System department conducts a feasibility analysis with the system request department.
- Feasibility analysis examines technical, economic, and organizational feasibility of the project.
- Technical Feasibility considers factors like familiarity with the application and technology, project size, and compatibility with existing software and hardware.
- Economic Feasibility evaluates development costs, tangible and intangible benefits and costs, annual operating costs, and annual benefits.
- Organizational Feasibility assesses user acceptance and alignment of project goals with business objectives.
- The system request and feasibility analysis documents are submitted for project approval.
- Once approved, the project proceeds to project management with staff assignment and a work plan.
Project Selection
- A revised system request is submitted to the approval committee after the feasibility analysis is complete.
- The approval committee evaluates the business need, risk, and the organizational portfolio which includes all projects categorized by size and risk.
- The committee decides to proceed with building the project, reject it, or put it on hold.
