From the study details and learning materials of week 9 lecture
slides, I have learned about details of Software Development Life
Cycle. In order to deliver software products the project manager
and project team members needs to follow any particular
software development life cycle methodology. The different
methodologies used by the project managers are agile, waterfall,
scrum, spiral, iterative etc. Based on the software product type
the most suitable software development life cycle approach
needs to be chosen by the project managers.
I have learned the four phase model and details stages on SDLC
project development Life cycle. I found that each project
development life cycle phases are interconnected to each other
the first phase is conception design phase and the activities
conducted by the project manager in this phase include initiation
stage, feasibility stage and proposal preparation. The activities
conducted in phase B are project identification and system and
user requirements. I came to know about the other SDLC phases
respectively execution phase and operation phase.
I have learned details features of the system improvement and
system termination. The sub activities conducted in the
execution phase are fabrication, testing, training and
installation. Before terminating any project or launching any
product the project manager needs to conduct each of these
phases. Moreover, I can say that organizational behaviour and
behaviour of each individual helps to implement any project
successfully. I came to know that organizational performance is
dependent on individual’s performance or contribution of all
