1SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN Question 1 This project follows a standard Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and all its core processes, namely planning, defining, designing, building, testing and deployment. Through these phases, the two proposed information systems namely Undergraduate Learning System (ULS) and Post Graduate Learning System (PLS) will be developed. For the development of the two information systems and setting a proper schedule that includes the core SDLC processes, the following table has been developed. The table also shows the sequence of activities and dependencies.
