In week 1, we learn about the Project Management Life Cycle,and the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC).

Every project has a life and goes through different phases — Feasibility, Initiation and Approval Phase, Planning Phase, Execute and control Phase, Transition and Monitoring Phase, and Closing Phase.

System Development Life Cycle (SDLC), include Business Requirements, System Design, Development & Unit Testing, User Acceptance Testing, and Implementation.

In each phase, there must be some documentation written and approve by stakeholders. It is ultimately up to the project manager and stakeholders as to which documents are truly necessary. Having all the documents does not guarantee a successful project; but having them help with its success and reduces the confusion. For more information see the Project Documents Glossary.xlsx
