Systems Development Life Cycle The term systems development life cycle (SDLC) is used to indicate traditional development methods which are used by organizations on large-scale IT projects. There is a structural framework in SDLC comprised of processes that are executed in sequence during the development of information systems. Step one involves a feasibility study for the product. During this step‚ the software analyst’s job is to work with strategy makers to establish

The systems development life cycle (SDLC) is also known as the waterfall model. The systems development life cycle is a SDM (systems development methodology) that consists of seven phases. The seven phases are in a specific order that is completed phase by phase. The first phase is planning. The planning stage is where an outline is drawn up for preparations. During this phase a systems analyst‚ who may work for the company or be an outside consultant‚ will outline a proposed system‚ develop a budget

Systems Development Life Cycle • Project planning: Establishes a high-level view of the intended project and determines its goals. The importance of the planning stage is to determine what technologies exist or can be developed to solve the problem that has been identified. An economic feasibility analysis is used to determine if an organization can afford the system and if the system will provide a return on the investment. An operational feasibility analysis examines the human element of the
