Module 2: Information System Development

Overview

Today's information systems consist of more than just hardware and software. They include enterprise environmental factors (people, company culture, and legacy systems) and organizational process assets (processes, procedures, and historical information). The foundation for designing, developing, and implementing these complex systems is a structured process known as the systems development life cycle (SDLC).

SDLC is based on the concept that information systems must pass through a series of phases during their existence or life cycle. In this module, we will help you understand life-cycle methodology and the way SDLC is used to design, develop, and implement information systems.

In this module, we examine the following topics:

Purpose of System Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

In this section, we discuss why the SDLC is used to design, develop, and implement information systems.

The SDLC Phases

In this section, we focus on the states or stages in an information system's life cycle.

SDLC Models

In this section, we examine several SDLC models and their uses.

Relationship between SDLC and Project Management

In this section, we close out the module by discussing how project management is used to plan, manage, and control the SDLC process.
