![Page 6: PART 1 Information Systems Development. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Systems Development Life Cycle Application Development Methodologies Project Management Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649ecf5503460f94bdcf52/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
THE SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE (SDLC)• Systems development
life cycle (SDLC) – The overall process for developing information systems from planning and analysis through implementation and maintenance
![Page 7: PART 1 Information Systems Development. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Systems Development Life Cycle Application Development Methodologies Project Management Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649ecf5503460f94bdcf52/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Systems Development Life Cycle
1. Planning phase – Establishes a high-level plan of the intended project and determines project goals
2. Analysis phase – Involves analyzing end-user business requirements and refining project goals into defined functions and operations of the intended system (WHAT)
– Business requirements – Specific business requests the system must meet to be successful
![Page 8: PART 1 Information Systems Development. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Systems Development Life Cycle Application Development Methodologies Project Management Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649ecf5503460f94bdcf52/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Systems Development Life Cycle . . .
3. Design phase – Establishes descriptions of the desired features and operations of the system including screen layouts, business rules, process diagrams, pseudo code, and other documentation (HOW)
4. Development phase – Involves taking all of the detailed design documents from the design phase and transforming them into the actual system
![Page 9: PART 1 Information Systems Development. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Systems Development Life Cycle Application Development Methodologies Project Management Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649ecf5503460f94bdcf52/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Systems Development Life Cycle . . .
5. Testing phase – Involves bringing all the project pieces together into a special testing environment to eliminate errors and bugs, and verify that the system meets all of the business requirements defined in the analysis phase
6. Implementation phase – Involves placing the system into production so users can begin to perform actual business operations with it
![Page 10: PART 1 Information Systems Development. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Systems Development Life Cycle Application Development Methodologies Project Management Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649ecf5503460f94bdcf52/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Systems Development Life Cycle . . .
7. Maintenance phase – Involves performing changes, corrections, additions, and upgrades to ensure the system continues to meet its business goals
![Page 11: PART 1 Information Systems Development. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Systems Development Life Cycle Application Development Methodologies Project Management Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649ecf5503460f94bdcf52/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGIES
• Waterfall (Structured Process)• Agile• Rapid application development (RAD)• Extreme programming• Rational unified process (RUP)• SCRUM
![Page 12: PART 1 Information Systems Development. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Systems Development Life Cycle Application Development Methodologies Project Management Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649ecf5503460f94bdcf52/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Waterfall Methodology
• Waterfall methodology – A structured sequence of phases in which the output of each phase becomes the input for the next
![Page 13: PART 1 Information Systems Development. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Systems Development Life Cycle Application Development Methodologies Project Management Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649ecf5503460f94bdcf52/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Agile Methodology Iterative development – Consists of a series of
tiny projects
• Agile methodology – Aims for customer satisfaction through early and continuous delivery of useful application software components developed by an iterative process using the bare minimum requirements
![Page 14: PART 1 Information Systems Development. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Systems Development Life Cycle Application Development Methodologies Project Management Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649ecf5503460f94bdcf52/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Rapid Application Development (RAD) Methodology
• Rapid application development methodology– Emphasizes extensive user involvement in the rapid and evolutionary construction of working prototypes of a system to accelerate the systems development process
Prototype – A smaller-scale representation or working model of the users’ requirements or a proposed design for an information system
• The prototype is an essential part of the analysis phase when using a RAD methodology
![Page 15: PART 1 Information Systems Development. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Systems Development Life Cycle Application Development Methodologies Project Management Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649ecf5503460f94bdcf52/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Extreme Programming Methodology• Extreme programming (XP) methodology – Breaks a
project into tiny phases, and developers cannot continue on to the next phase until the first phase is complete
![Page 16: PART 1 Information Systems Development. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Systems Development Life Cycle Application Development Methodologies Project Management Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649ecf5503460f94bdcf52/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Rational Unified Process (RUP) Methodology
• Rational Unified Process (RUP) – Provides a framework for breaking down the development of software into four gates
– Gate One: Inception
– Gate Two: Elaboration
– Gate Three: Construction
– Gate Four: Transition
![Page 17: PART 1 Information Systems Development. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Systems Development Life Cycle Application Development Methodologies Project Management Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649ecf5503460f94bdcf52/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
SCRUM Methodology• SCRUM – Uses small teams to produce small pieces
of deliverable software using sprints, or 30-day intervals, to achieve an appointed goal
• Under this methodology, each day ends or begins with a stand-up meeting to monitor and control the development effort
![Page 18: PART 1 Information Systems Development. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Systems Development Life Cycle Application Development Methodologies Project Management Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649ecf5503460f94bdcf52/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
DEVELOPING SUCCESSFUL APPLICATION
• Primary reasons for project failure– Unclear or missing business requirements– Skipping SDLC phases– Failure to manage project scope• Scope creep• Feature creep
– Failure to manage project plan– Changing technology
![Page 19: PART 1 Information Systems Development. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Systems Development Life Cycle Application Development Methodologies Project Management Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649ecf5503460f94bdcf52/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Developing Successful Application . . .• The later in the SDLC an error is found the more
expensive it is to fix!

The Triple Constraint• Benjamin Franklin’s timeless advice - by failing to prepare,
you prepare to fail - applies to software development projects
• The Hackett Group analyzed 2,000 companies and discovered
– Three in 10 major IT projects fail
– 21 percent of the companies state that they cannot adjust rapidly to market changes
– One in four validates a business case for IT projects after completion
![Page 25: PART 1 Information Systems Development. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Systems Development Life Cycle Application Development Methodologies Project Management Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649ecf5503460f94bdcf52/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
PROJECT PARTICIPANTS• Project stakeholders - Individuals and organizations actively
involved in the project or whose interests might be affected as a result of project execution or project completion
– Owner (What information system can provide)
– User (What tasks to be done)
– Designer (What to do to build system, How IT do it)
– Developer (Build system according to specs)
• Executive sponsor - The person or group who provides the financial resources for the project
![Page 26: PART 1 Information Systems Development. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Systems Development Life Cycle Application Development Methodologies Project Management Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649ecf5503460f94bdcf52/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Role of Users in Systems Development Process

CHOOSING STRATEGIC PROJECTS
• Three common techniques for selecting projects
1. Focus on organizational goals (vision, strategy)
2. Categorize projects (visibility, urgency, benefit)
3. Perform a financial analysis (cost/benefit)
![Page 29: PART 1 Information Systems Development. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Systems Development Life Cycle Application Development Methodologies Project Management Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649ecf5503460f94bdcf52/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Understanding Project Planning• After selecting strategic projects and identifying a
project manager the next critical component is the project plan
• Building a project plan involves two key components
– Project charter
– Project plan
![Page 30: PART 1 Information Systems Development. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Systems Development Life Cycle Application Development Methodologies Project Management Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649ecf5503460f94bdcf52/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Understanding Project Planning . . .• Project charter - A document issued by the project
initiator or sponsor that formally authorizes the existence of a project and provides the project manager with the authority to apply organizational resources to project activities and includes– Project scope statement– Project objectives– Project constraints– Projects assumptions
![Page 31: PART 1 Information Systems Development. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Systems Development Life Cycle Application Development Methodologies Project Management Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649ecf5503460f94bdcf52/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Understanding Project Planning . . .
• SMART criteria are useful reminders on how to ensure that the project has created understandable and measurable objectives
![Page 32: PART 1 Information Systems Development. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Systems Development Life Cycle Application Development Methodologies Project Management Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649ecf5503460f94bdcf52/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Understanding Project Planning . . .• Project plan – A formal, approved document that
manages and controls project execution
• A well-defined project plan should be
– Easy to understand and read
– Communicated to all key participants
– Appropriate to the project’s size, complexity, and criticality
– Prepared by the team, rather than by the individual project manager
![Page 33: PART 1 Information Systems Development. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Systems Development Life Cycle Application Development Methodologies Project Management Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649ecf5503460f94bdcf52/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
