UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEM
Requirement Report
Primary Consumable at the stage
The primary aim of this first stage of the SDLC is to determine the purpose and requirements of a new system.
How do we determine the requirements?
• Interview USERS• Interview participants• Analyze Existing SystemSystems
Analyst
Requirement
Prototype
PLANNING
In the second stage of the traditional SDLC the aim is to decide which solution, if any, should be developed.
Feasibility Study
Primary Consumable at the stage
• TECHNICAL Feasibility
• SCHEDULE Feasibility
• FINANCIAL Feasibility
• OPERATIONAL Feasibility
Choose a SystemDevelopment
Approach
• Traditional
• Outsourcing
• Prototyping
• Customization
• Participant Development
• Agile Methods
DESIGNING
This stage is where the actual solution is designed and built. This includes describing information processes and specifying system resources (participants, data/info, IT) to perform these processes.
System Tools for understanding, explaining and documenting the operation of a system
