SDLC - System/ Software Development Life
Cycle aka Waterfall Model/ Classical Model
Phase 1: Analysis - What do we need to
do?
Phase 2: Design - How do we do it?
Phase 3: Implementation - Lets do it!
Phase 4: Testing - Were we able to do it?
Phase 5: Maintenance - Are there some
more work to do? Any rooms for
improvement?
Activity Planning and Control
Steps
1. Identify problems, opportunities and
objectives
- critical to success for the rest of the
project
- problem s will be brought up by
ememe
- Allow the business gain competitive
advantage
Output: Feasibility report
(containing a problem definition and
summarizing the objectives) feasible/not
feasible
2. Determining info requirements
Tools: interviewing., sampling, investigating
hard data, questionnaires,observation
- Striving to understand hat info user
needs to perform their job
- Information analyst- specialist
- Know the details of the
current system
- Who- people involved
- What the business
activity
- Where the
environment it takes
place
- When- the timing

procedures are
performed
-Wca work centered analysis-

3. Analyzing system needs
- Tools: dfd (data flow diagram)
- Analyzes the structured decisions
made
- Prepares a system proposal
4. Designing the recommended system
- the analyst designs accurate data
entry procedures so that data going
into the is is correct
- Designing files or databases
- Design controls and backup
procedures to protect the system
and data
