SDLC (system development life cycle) the process of IT enabled change the process for those who want to lead IT-enabled change SDLC process Goals & Requirements, Design & Development, Implement & Analysis System Development Methods Waterfall & Agile Waterfall Method adopted as a standard by the Department of Defense -some iteration between phases -idea is to minimize this iteration and have everything done before the next phase Agile Method -difficult because sometimes you dont know what you want from a system until you see it -embrace iteration -constant continuous iteration of all the phases quickly is the essence of agile interesting practices associated with Agile include time boxing and refactoring limited documentation- the code is documentation -pairing programming and collocation 2 Agile Approaches SCRUM and XP SDLC in detail Analysis, Requirements, Design, Development, Implementation, Analyze Analysis starts with analysis of a situation What can be better? What is going wrong? How can I take advantage of some opportunities? Requirements Once I understand the situation, I need to think about what it would require to improve things. What are the goals, specifications, and "must haves" in order to address the problem or opportunity? Design After I fully understand the current situation and the requirements for a solution, then I start planning out that solution. What will the future situation look like? How will it be different than the current one? How can I make it more effective and desirable? What will the technologies look like that support this future situation? I design out what technologies should look like, what they should do, and their expected contexts. Development get developers to create the technologies Implementation role out the technologies, train people on them, and manage the new processes Analyze After implementation you look to see what's working and what is not, then start the process all over again. how do SDLCs happen professional project managers actively pay attention to the budgets, milestones, goals and activities throughout the process to make sure that the SDLC process delviers what it is supposed to deliver, on time, and
