Because the company followed a standardized implementation process, they were able to successfully reengineer their existing business structure. The objective of the System Development Life Cycle is to help organizations define what an appropriate system development methodology should be in order for them to continue to meet the rapidly changing business environment. The specific research approach employed by International Lumberyards, Inc. was to follow the steps of the cycle and it helped them dramatically.
Conclusion
This report attempted to analyze a work-related project that used a systems analysis tool for a specific business system. The report focused on the use of the System Development Life Cycle to implement a business or information technology need as well as the implications associated with the development of an internally used software package. The report provided insights into International Lumberyards, Inc., implementation, information-gathering and other...
The report also attempted to analyze and evaluate if the System Development Life Cycle had been successful or if there were obvious failures in their efforts to institute the concepts of Business Process Re-engineering or Workflow Management.

system development life cycle (SDLC) approach to the development of Information Systems and/or software is provided. An explanation of SDLC is offered, with different models applied in implementing SDLC delineated. Advantages and disadvantages associated with each of the models will be identified. System Development Life Cycle According to Walsham (1993), system development life cycle (SDLC) is an approach to developing an information system or software product that is characterized by a
Systems Development Life-Cycle is a framework for an evolution from abstract ideas to a concrete reality Systems development life-cycle (SDLC) is a structured process of systems development is an evolutionary process that proceeds from a broad concept of information requirements and finally ends into the manufacturing of a product -- development of a new system. From this conception it can be seen that the ideas of SDLC begin to narrow
Software Development Life Cycle ( SDLC) Explain Requirement process ( in SDLC) in detail. Why is this exercise important? Requirements engineering is a fundamental activity in systems development and it is the process by which the requirements for software systems are identified, systematized and implemented and are followed through the complete lifecycle. Traditionally engineers focused on narrow functional requirements. Now it is being argued by Aurum and Wohlin (2005) that focusing only
Systems Development Life Cycle has historically been a very useful tool in the development of software and operating systems in Computer Information Technology. Through the Systems Development Life Cycle there are at least five distinct phases that are delineated and performed within a linear patter. Meaning, that each step must be complete or at least very close in order for the next set of experts to begin the next phase

Risk in Software Development Life Cycle A Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a series of steps or processes that are undertaken to develop a software product. In general, the activities or processes include gathering the requirements, design, implementation, testing, documenting and maintenance. The exact process depends to a large extent on the SDLC model used. One of the important aspects of any SDLC model is risk management because it protects the
