integrate with back-end systems, such as supporting databases.
6. Database administrators: configure and troubleshoot an organization's
data repositories.
7. Cybersecurity analysts: monitor the behaviors of the system
components for anomalies and malicious attacks. They also put measures
in place to deter, detect, and mitigate internal and external threats.

business case, followed by a feasibility study. During the feasibility study,
research assesses whether the business case will lead to a reasonable,
feasible solution. Project stakeholders provide input in the analysis of the
business case, resulting in a project charter, or project initiation document,
that outlines the business needs, the stakeholders, and the business case.

follows. This phase starts with setting the project goals, commonly using
the SMART or CLEAR frameworks, both of which are described below.
Specific: Set a specific goal that answers the questions who, what, where,
when, which, and why.
Measurable: Create criteria that can be used to measure the success of the
goal.
Attainable: Ensure the goal is attainable given the resources.
Realistic: Assess the willingness to work toward the goal.
Timely: The goal should be achievable within the available timeframe.
Collaborative: The goal should encourage employees to work together.
Limited: The goal should be limited in scope and time to keep it manageable.
Emotional: The goal should tap into the passion of employees and be
something they can form an emotional connection to. This can optimize the
quality of work.
