2 Development Methodologies
aka SDLC System Development Life Cycle

• Waterfall

2. Phased development

Why build the system? (Goals, work plan,
feasibility)
A waterfall SDLC is a sequence of stages
Planning Stage
How will the system work?
Analysis Stage
Do it.
Design Stage
Implementation Stage
What is required? Who will use it? When?
Production(aka Go Live)
This model rarely works well, because it is too
difficult to specify requirements completely at
the beginning of a project.
Once you are downstream in implementation and
realize there are analysis and design problems,
it is difficult to swim up stream.

Create test
Cut over /deploy/migrate to production system

Phased Development Figure 3.6, p.
178Advantage 1
Each A D C R loop is a phase.
Phased delivery avoids the waterfall models
problem of no part of the system being done until
all of its done.

ADC-R loop may be called an iteration.

2. Users will give better feedback to system
views.
3. Developers learn best by creating functional
components in incremental steps.
10
Phased Development Advantages

1. Phased delivery avoids the waterfall models
problem of no part of the system being done until
all of its done.
2. Users will give better feedback to system
viewsso phases need to be meaningful deliveries
for users.
3. Developers learn best by creating functional
components in incremental steps.
4. Phases reduce the problem of deadline behavior
by users and developers.
11
The waterfall SDLC and workload risk
Planning Stage
Analysis Stage
Design Stage
Implementation Stage
Production
The risk with the waterfall method is that the
real work doesnt start until into the
implementation stage as the deadline for
production approaches.

MIS 374 Planning Requirement

• For Group Project 2 and the Client Project you
  must use
• 1. a Phased
• Development Model
• and
• 2. MS Project

13
Example of Phased Planning Library Control
System

• MIS 374 project --- Delivery 1 report pages
• Illustrates use of
• Milestone Summaries (AKA phase list)
• Gantt Charts
• Network Diagram
• Required for Group Project 2 and Client Project

Gantt Chart View of MS Project

Data includes the Phase Label, Task
, Length, Start Finish, Resource Names
You can switch between the Gantt Chart view and
Network Diagram views in MS Project. This is a
Network Diagram with the details collapsed so
only the Phases are shown.

The Network Diagram view shows simultaneous work
more clearly than the Gantt chart view.
