Implementation Stage of SDLC.
Implementation
The implementation stage of any project is a true display of the defining moments that make a project a success or a failure. The implementation stage is defined as "the system or system modifications being installed and made operational in a production environment. The phase is initiated after the system has been tested and accepted by the user. This phase continues until the system is operating in production in accordance with the defined user requirements" (DOJ, 1). While all of the planning that takes place in preparation of the implementation phase is critical, I am of the opinion that the implementation itself is equally as important.
When working through the process of defining and selecting my organization's new enterprise business system, the implementation stage became the most anticipated and important part of the SDLC for the organization. A tremendous effort had been exuded in planning and preparation for the application development and deployment. The start of the implementation phase was an indication that progress was being made and the system was well underway.
For my organization, the implementation phase kicked-off with the coding of the application. Because we were using a retail system with a few customizations, the coding stage was not nearly as long as it might be with other business systems. With regard to coding, two things had to occur. The first was to customize some of the fields and interfaces in the retail system. The second was to develop the web-based front-end that would serve as the primary interface to our application. Both of these coding tasks were completed in a reasonable amount of time.
After the initial coding was complete, the customized application and web interface were presented to my organization for approval. For the most part, the presentation was successful. We had decided to modify a few of form fields and change the color scheme of the web interface. The consultant made the necessary code changes
