The system development lifecycle (SDLC) consists of several key phases:
-
Planning: This phase involves defining the project scope, objectives, and feasibility, as well as creating a project plan and timeline.
-
Analysis: Requirements are gathered through stakeholder consultations to identify what the system needs to accomplish.
-
Design: In this phase, the system architecture and interfaces are designed, detailing how the system will meet the requirements.
-
Implementation: The actual coding and development occur, followed by testing to ensure the system functions correctly before deployment.
Finally, there is a Maintenance phase to address any ongoing issues and implement updates as required.
