SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT LIFE
CYCLE (SDLC)
FIRST PHASE
The people involved in the first phase are:
- the users,
- analysts, and
- systems managers coordinating the project. Activities in this phase consist of:
- interviewing user management,
- summarizing the knowledge obtained,
- estimating the scope of the project, and documenting the results.
SECOND PHASE
The analyst enters is that of determining the
human needs of the users involved, using a
variety of tools to understand how users
interact in the work context with their current
information systems.
The analyst should understand how users accomplish their work when interacting with a computer and begin to know how to make the new system more useful and usable
THIRD PHASE
The systems analyst undertakes involves analyzing system
needs. Again, special tools and techniques help the analyst
make requirement determinations. Tools such as data flow
diagrams (DFD) to chart the input, processes, and output
of the business’s functions, or activity diagrams or
sequence diagrams to show the sequence of events,
illustrate systems in a structured, graphical form.
THIRD PHASE
Tools needed in analyzing system needs:
- Flow chart
- Gantt chart
- Methodology
- Data Flow Diagram There are three major methods for the analysis of structured decisions:
- structured English,
- decision tables, and
- decision trees.
