Approaches To Systems Development: Chapter 10 - Part 1

This document discusses approaches to systems development. It introduces the systems development life cycle (SDLC) which provides an overall framework for managing systems development projects through phases like planning, analysis, design, implementation, and deployment. There are two main approaches to the SDLC: predictive and adaptive. Predictive approaches like the waterfall model assume the system can be planned in advance, while adaptive approaches like the spiral model and incremental development are more iterative and flexible to change. The document also defines the role of a systems analyst and methodologies used in systems development.

SDLC: SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE


Provides overall framework for managing systems

development process
All projects use some variation of SDLC

Phase

Core Process

Project Initiation

1. Identify the problem/need & obtain


approval

Ch 11

2. Plan & monitor the project

3. Discover & understand the


details

Ch 2-5

Planning
Analysis
Design
Implementation
Deployment

4. Design the system components


5. Build, test, and integrate system
components

Ch 6, 8-9,12-13

Predictive Approaches
Project
Initiatio
n
Planning

Waterfall
One phase begins when another
completes; Specifications are frozen
Problems
System requirements locked in
Limited user involvement
Too much focus on milestone deadlines

Adaptive Approaches
Spiral Model
An iterative
approach
Spiral until project

completion
Then, deployed!

Project

Management:
managed differently
than a waterfall
approach

Adaptive Approaches
Incremental Development
Also, an iterative approach
BUT
System is built in small increments; it is "grown"
As an iteration is completed it is integrated to the whole
Partially deployed in steps

Advantage
some functionality gets
into the user's hands
much earlier

Methodology
A comprehensive guideline to follow for

completing every SDLC activity


Abstraction used
to separate out

Software to
create models
or other project
components
