SDLC

Introduction
SDLC
» SDLC stands for
   » Systems Development Life Cycle
   » SDLC is a Life Cycle.
   » All systems have a life cycle or a series of stages they naturally
     undergo.
       » The number and name of the stages varies, but the primary stages
         are conception, development, maturity and decline.
       » The systems development life cycle (SDLC) therefore, refers to
         the development stage of the system’s life cycle.
Systems Development Life Cycle
 » We have different names for the stages of the SDLC
      » Usually the stages are
          »   Planning (just after Conception)
          »   Analysis
          »   Design
          »   Implementation
          »   Maintenance (starting Maturity)

Phases of the Systems Development Life Cycle

1. Project Identification and Selection
  »   Two Main Activities
      »   Identification of need
      »   Prioritization and translation of need into a development
          schedule
  »   Helps organization to determine whether or not
      resources should be dedicated to a project.
1. Project Initiation and Planning
  »   Two Activities
      »   Formal preliminary investigation of the problem at hand
      »   Presentation of reasons why system should or should not
          be developed by the organization
Systems Development Life Cycle
» Analysis
   » Study of current procedures and information systems
       » Determine requirements
             » Study current system
             » Structure requirements and eliminate redundancies
       » Generate alternative designs
       » Compare alternatives
       » Recommend best alternative
Systems Development Life Cycle

» Design
  » Logical Design
     » Concentrates on business aspects of the system
  » Physical Design
     » Technical specifications
» Implementation
  » Implementation
     »   Hardware and software installation
     »   Programming
     »   User Training
     »   Documentation
Systems Development Life Cycle
» Maintenance
      » System changed to reflect changing conditions
      » System obsolescence
Alternative Approaches

» Prototyping
  » Building a scaled-down working version of the system
  » Advantages:
     » Users are involved in design
     » Captures requirements in concrete form
» Rapid Application Development (RAD)
  » Utilizes prototyping to delay producing system design
    until after user requirements are clear

Editor's Notes

  • #3: Development stage is critical. For example, learning behavior of humans is heavily influenced by their development period (and is the reason why money and effort is probably more effective in early stages of development).  In much the same way, the success or failure of an information systems and the amount of maintenance required is dependent on the events during development.
