Task 1: Discussing the six core processes of SDLC required to develop the
membership and facilities management system
In order to build and implement an error free Information System (IS) for any company
proper control and management measures are required to be applied. It is assumed that, for
reaching the goals and project objectives starting from the beginning to end proper control and
management aspects are needed to be implemented. The different activities must be followed to
manage the project are analysis, design and other development. For creating coordination
between individual activities proper workflow of the project should be designed. The design
framework will identify all activities essential for building, launching and maintaining the
Information System (IS). Apart from that, the designed framework must include the part of
analysis, design, programming, testing as well as Information System (IS) maintenance. This
details S development framework is known as System Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
Software Life cycle development phases
In order to develop any software or system the project manager and the project team
members are needed to maintain all the development phases individually and the application
details of these phases are elaborated in the below section:
Phase 1: Project planning
This is the initial phase of IS project development, in this phase the project goals and
objectives are determined that is intended to establish the project successfully. This is referred to
as one of the most critical and fundamental organizational phase that has to be followed. The
three basic activities should be followed by the project manager and other associates in this

phase include identification of different components required for system development, feasibility
assessment and project planning development.
Phase 2: Analysis
After initial plan the end user business requirements become very essential to identify to
convert the project objectives into defined functions and operations. The project analysis is
accomplished followed by three individual phases such as- gathering business requirements,
creation of details process diagram and a detail project performance analysis. In this part the
business requirements should be gathered. In order to successfully implement the IS project, for
each requirement proper functionalities are also needed to be identified. Apart from that, the
different technologies used to implement the IS should also identify in this phase.
Phase 3: Design
The desired operation, features and functions required to implement the IS successfully
are elaborated in this phase. The functionalities involved to this phase are business rules, pseudo
codes, screen layouts etc. The leading primary technical activities that are conducted by the
project managers and project team members in this phase include IT infrastructure design,
System model design. The IT infrastructure is needed to be designed in such a way so that it can
avoid the
Phase 4: Project development
In this phase all the project documents are converted into the practical or actual system.
The two basic activities those will be conducted in this phase are development of IT
infrastructure and development of database and codes. In this particular phase, the Body

Sculptors Gymnasium needs to install and purchase all respective software and hardware
requirements. Based on the system specifications in this phase the database and actual codes are
connected. During this phase, the programming code is generated as per DSS. Without any kind
of hassle the code generation will be accomplished if detail design is performed in an organized
manner. The details coding guidelines are required to be conducted and the programming tools to
be used while developing the project are C, C++, Pascal, PHP and JAVA. However, the
programming language needs to be chosen in respect to the software.
Phase 5: Testing
In this phase the designed product is tested accordingly followed by unit testing,
integrated testing and user acceptance testing. Each three of these testing approaches are needed
to be followed by the project manager ad project team members to check that whether all the
system requirements are properly followed or not. The defects associated to the system are also
identified after proper testing of the system.
Phase 6: Information System deployment
In this phase the system is deployed in the real application field where the system is actually
operated by the consumers (internal and external). After that, all components and data are placed
in the production environment. This deployment phase is also known as delivery phase
Phase 7: System maintenance phase
As the system become ready for final implementation proper maintenance program are
also needed to be conducted by the project team members. Sometimes product deployment took
place based o the business strategy followed by Body Sculptors Gymnasium. This system may
