The Systems Development Life Cycle Optional Session 12
Learning Objectives • Understand the difference between SDLC and the PMI Process Groups
The SDLC/PMI Mixup Phenomenon • Some colleges offer Systems Design and Implementation courses as part of an IT curriculum • In this class students might learn about SDLC • SDLC has slightly different phases than PMI’s process groups • Understanding the differences can help you with your project management
The SDLC Phases • Planning • Analysis • Design • Implementation • Operation and Support
Planning and Analysis • Planning • Formal request • Preliminary investigation • Feasibility analysis • Analysis • Requirements gathering • System requirements documentation Review the “Getting Your Hands Dirty with SDLC – Planning and Analysis” section of the case study – page 346
Design • Think “blueprint” • Systems are broken down into successively smaller levels until discrete working entities are denoted • Describe each of those entities and how they interface with their partner components to make the whole Review the “Getting Your Hands Dirty with SDLC – Design” section of the case study – page 347
You Decide • You’re building a shed. • What are the smallest subcomponents to the construction project that you can describe? • You’re building a gingerbread house for a competition. • What are the smallest subcomponents to the project? • Your team is building a new computer system for Internet sales transactions. • What are the smallest subcomponents to the project?
Implementation • Think “system construction” • Software development, testing, and documentation • Data conversion • End-user training • Migration from the old system (if any) to the new Review the “Getting Your Hands Dirty with SDLC – Implementation” section of the case study – page 349
You Decide What other implementation elements might be needed when developing an enterprise-class system? (Hint: Think telecommunications, training, and support from other teams.)
Operations and Support • Think “system go-live” • Manage minor changes & updates • Support of users & system components • New versions not part of O&S. New versions mean a new project. Review the “Getting Your Hands Dirty with SDLC – Operations and Support” section of the case study – page 350
You Decide You’ve deployed your new Internet catalog and shopping system for your customers. Of the following elements below, which are probably not part of the Operations and Support phase? • Addition of new languages to the current system (English & Spanish only on current system) • Online chat (didn’t exist at deployment time) • Adding of American Express card support • Provision of a “wish-list” page for frequent visitors
Other Development Methodologies • Scrum • XP • UP (EUP) • EPM (EVO)
End of Session Review Q&AInstructor Hand-out Q&A • Go over end-of-chapter review questions • Instructor to hand out additional questions (POP QUIZ TIME!)
Next Steps • Take and pass the CompTIA Project+ exam • Study for the PMP exam (using the top-selling Sybex PMP Study Guide, of course)
