THE PLANNING PHASE HAS TWO STEPS:
1. During project initiation, the system’s business value
to the organization is identified (How will it
lower costs or increase revenues?).
2. During project management, the project manager
creates a work plan, staffs the project, and puts
techniques in place to help the project team
control and direct the project through the entire
SDLC
-The analysis phase answers the questions of who
will use the system, what the system will do, and
where and when it will be used.
-During this phase the project team investigates any
current system(s), identifies improvement
opportunities, and develops a concept for the new
system.
THE ANALYSIS PHASE HAS THREE STEPS:
1. Analysis strategy: This is developed to guide the projects team’s
efforts. This includes a study of the current system and its
problems, and envisioning ways to design a new system.
2. Requirements gathering: The analysis of this information leads to
the development of a concept for a new system. This
concept is used to build a set of analysis models.
3. System proposal: The proposal is presented to the project
sponsor and other key individuals who decide whether the
project should continue to move forward
