PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES
Products also have life cycles
The Systems Development L i fe Cycle(SDLC) is a
framework for describing the phases involved in
developing and maintaining information systems
Typical SDLC phases include planning, analysis, design,
implementation, and support

SAMPLE SDLC MODELS
Waterfal l model: has well-defined, linear stages ofsystems development and support
Spiral model: shows that software is developed
using an iterative or spiral approach rather than a
linear approach Incremental release model: provides for
progressive development of operational software
RAD model: used to produce systems quickly
without sacrificing quality Proto typ ing model: used for developing prototypes
to clarify user requirements7

DISTINGUISHING PROJECT LIFE CYCLES
AND PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES
The project life cycle applies to all projects, regardless ofthe products being produced
Product life cycle models vary considerably based on the
nature of the product
Most large IT products are developed as a series ofprojects
Project management is done in all of the product life
cycle phases

WHY HAVE PROJECT PHASES AND
MANAGEMENT REVIEWS?
A project should successfully pass through each of theproject phases in order to continue on to the next
Management reviews(also called phase exitsor ki l l
po in ts) should occur after each phase to evaluate the
projects progress, likely success, and continuedcompatibility with organizational goals

Assumes organizations
are coalitions composed
of varied individuals and
