1. Describe the major phases of SDLC
• There are four major phases in SDLC.
• Planning: The Planning phase is the fundamental process of understanding why an information system should be built and determining how the project team will go about building it.
• Analysis: The Analysis phase answers the questions of who will use the system, what the system will do, and where and when it will be used. During this phase, the project team investigates any current system(s), identifies improvement opportunities, and develops a concept for the new system.
• Design: The design phase decides how the system will operate, in terms of the hardware, software, and network infrastructure; the user interface, forms and reports; and the specific programs, databases, and files that will be needed.
• Implementation: The final phase in the SDLC is the implementation phase, during which the system is actually built (or purchased, in the case of a packaged software design). This is the phase that usually gets the most attention, because for most systems it is longest and most expensive single part of the development process.
2. Describe the major principal steps in each phase. What are the major deliverables?
The planning phase is the fundamental process of understanding why an information system should be built and determining how the project team will go about building it. It has two steps:
1. Project Initiation: This step involves the identification of the system’s business value. A system request presents a brief summary of a business need, and it explains how a system that supports the need will create business value. The IS department works together with the person or department that generated the request (called the project sponsor) to conduct a feasibility analysis. The feasibility analysis examines key aspects of the proposed project like the technical feasibility, economic feasibility and organizational feasibility
2. Project Management: Once the project is
