Systems Development Lifecycle Concepts

The video tutorial covers the Systems Development Lifecycle (SDLC), a structured process for developing information systems. It explains the four main phases: planning, analysis, design, and implementation, detailing the tasks, activities, and deliverables involved in each phase. The tutorial also discusses different SDLC versions, including those with additional phases like maintenance and security. Key deliverables such as system requests, work plans, and system proposals are highlighted, along with the importance of feasibility analysis and requirements gathering.

What is the primary purpose of the Systems Development Lifecycle (SDLC)?

• To create a new business model

• To structure the process of systems development

• To eliminate the need for project management

• To reduce the cost of software development

Which of the following is NOT a phase in the SDLC according to the Dennis textbook?

• Maintenance

• Design

• Analysis

• Planning

During the Planning phase, what is a key deliverable?

• Training manual

• System request

• User interface design

• Database schema

What type of feasibility examines whether a system can be built?

• Economic feasibility

• Technical feasibility

• Operational feasibility

• Organizational feasibility

In the Analysis phase, what is the primary focus?

• Developing a work plan

• Testing the system

• Gathering and analyzing requirements

• Designing the user interface

What is a system proposal?

• A document outlining the system's requirements

• A plan for system maintenance

• A list of potential vendors

• A training schedule for users

What does the Design phase primarily address?

• How the system will be built

• Who will use the system

• When the system will be implemented

• Why the system is needed

Which component is NOT typically designed during the Design phase?

• User interface

• Network infrastructure

• System proposal

• Database specifications

What is a key activity during the Implementation phase?

• Conducting feasibility analysis

• Building and testing the system

• Gathering user requirements

• Designing the system architecture

What is the purpose of post-implementation reviews?

• To develop a system proposal

• To assess how well the system is working

• To gather initial user requirements

• To finalize the system design
