Systems Development Projects
• Large applications– E.g., a sale at WalMart
• Project management• Systematic approaches• End-user involvement• Methodologies
– Documentation– Computer-Assisted Software Engineering tools
![Page 4: Systems Project Management](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5553b57cb4c905d9448b4d0f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
System Development Life Cycles and Methodologies
System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) A logical process Systems analysts, software engineers, programmers, and end-users
Application development life cycle Waterfall approach Five to 21 phases An example – the five-phase approach
Systems planning Systems analysis Systems design Systems implementation Systems support
![Page 5: Systems Project Management](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5553b57cb4c905d9448b4d0f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
System Development Life Cycles and Methodologies
Methodology Step-by-step activities for each phase Individual and group roles to be played in each activity Deliverables and quality standards for each activity Tools and techniques to be used for each activity The entire system’s development life cycle Several development tools and techniques
![Page 6: Systems Project Management](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5553b57cb4c905d9448b4d0f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
SDLC
• Systems planning– How does this project fit into the organization?
• Systems analysis– Who, what, where, why
• Systems design– Interfaces, files, databases, and resources
• Systems implementation– Go live!
• Systems support– Ongoing maintenance
![Page 7: Systems Project Management](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5553b57cb4c905d9448b4d0f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Other Methodologies
• Joint Application Development (JAD)– Business Solutions Centers (e.g., E&Y)
• Rapid Application Development (RAD)
• Corporate or in-house methodologies– EDS– State Farm Insurance
• Several methodologies used
![Page 8: Systems Project Management](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5553b57cb4c905d9448b4d0f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
SAP’s Implementation Methodology
• Systems projects using ERP software– SAP R/2 and SAP R/3– Large projects– Typically multinational companies– Difficult to manage

What Will It Cost
“Best Estimation” Tool
• Estimates time and labor requirementshelps calculate total implementation costs
• Variables: – functionality– type of business – number of plants / locations
