The Systems Development Life Cycle
• Systems planning– Purpose is to identify the nature and scope of
the business opportunity or problem– Systems request – begins the process &
describes problems or desired changes– Systems planning includes preliminary
investigation whose key part is a feasibility study
![Page 33: Chapter 1 Introduction to Systems Analysis and Design BISI 4230 Summer ‘05](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e665503460f94b60534/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The Systems Development Life Cycle
• Systems Analysis– Purpose is to build a logical model of the new
system– First step is requirements modeling, where
you investigate business processes and document what the new system must do
– End product is the System requirements document
![Page 34: Chapter 1 Introduction to Systems Analysis and Design BISI 4230 Summer ‘05](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e665503460f94b60534/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The Systems Development Life Cycle
• Systems Design– Purpose is to create a blueprint that will
satisfy all documented requirements– Identify all outputs, inputs, and processes– Avoid misunderstanding through manager and
user involvement– End product is system design specification
![Page 35: Chapter 1 Introduction to Systems Analysis and Design BISI 4230 Summer ‘05](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e665503460f94b60534/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The Systems Development Life Cycle
• Systems Implementation– New system is constructed– Write, test, & document programs– File conversion occurs– Users, managers, IT staff trained to operate
and support the system– System evaluation performed
![Page 36: Chapter 1 Introduction to Systems Analysis and Design BISI 4230 Summer ‘05](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e665503460f94b60534/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The Systems Development Life Cycle
• Systems Operation and Support– New system supports operations– Maintenance changes correct errors or meet
requirements– Enhancements increase system capability– After several years of operation, systems
need extensive changes – SDLC ends with system replacement
![Page 37: Chapter 1 Introduction to Systems Analysis and Design BISI 4230 Summer ‘05](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e665503460f94b60534/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
