Implementation Stage of SDLC.

The main objectives of the pilot program were to test the new features and to gain feedback from people using the new system. Six weeks before the new system went live, Butler set up 40 phones with department coordinators and high-level staff to test the new system. Over three weeks they tested the system and gathered information to help improve the system if need by. The overall goal of the pilot program was to ‘gain buy-in from the user community’. Obviously when establishing a new program, there is bound to be some problems and bugs. For instance, Butler encountered a software bug that caused immense stress to the staff and the system developers. Some of the issues caused by the software bug were random server reboots, lost phone numbers, voicemail malfunctions, and a problem with all of the multiline phones.

A: In the software lifecycle there are 4 phases that are derived from the old System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and they are as follow; Planning, Implementation, Maintenance, and the Removal process. The planning phase is defined by all planning activities including the analysis of the software to be installed, verification of its compatibility, supported methods of installations, and the identification of any risks associated with the software and the desired deployment method. The Implementation phase is used to prepare for deployment such as; creating a shared access location for files and creating or using the appropriate package files. After all these steps have been

Full implementation should be completed in six months. The boundaries are the human resource system. Crossing over into design or inclusion of other departments such as accounting or sales would be out of scope. The business requirements are that the system is to be a single system instead of the multiple tools they are using now. The other business requirement is more vague, only stating that they would like to take advantage of more sophisticated, state-of-the-art technology. Project feasibility is determining if the technical, economical, and operational factors of the project can be accomplished under the schedule given. Technical looks at what hardware and software are available compared to what the requirements of the project are. Economic compares the cost of the overall project to what is budgeted and what can be justified by potential financial returns. Operational factors examine if the system will receive support from the people that use it and make it work (“System Development Life Cycle”, 1998).

Thank you for taking the time to listen to my complaints and for performing a walk-through at the project site.

Implementation is the act of providing a practical means (step-by-step) for goal accomplishment. (GCU, 2011). Successful implementation plan elements include the analysis of the present situation of the organization so that determination of the changes to be done within the organization can be made without any obstacle in the flow of the organization (Damschtoder et al., 2009). The second and the important element of the successful implementation plan is verifying the key mission of the organization, so that the planned implementation can be adjusted and carried out effectively. (Damschtoder et al., 2009).There are five elements involved in the implementation plan, there elements include; stakeholders, work plan, resources and budget, quality control and

“The knowledge that the Microsoft Services team brought to the table, plus their willingness to work with us, was all very critical to the success of the project.”

If the implementation process is failing, then obviously there’s a missing link or there is a part that I didn’t understand correctly.

The goals of this organization are to be more effective with this implementation of new system. The main goal of them was to integrate the job requirements in to one program by eliminating the existing program. Initially they have said that there will be a new program coming in to the picture in a short while. Then we was given a date of installation then realized that the day of installation would be the change of the organization. On that day every one was asked to sign off and the program was upgraded by IT team. The ETA for this upgrade was given as 10 hours but in few locations it took weeks to complete the installation. This affected all the employees in the organization, every one has a load of work to complete after this installation and also there was no one who knows how to use it, they had training sessions and it had a huge work on the employees by learning the work and on top of it doing the overload work at a time. The main challenge over here was that the training did not went well as there were many questions unanswered. For this solution

The results were phenomenal. The collaborative, engaging process led to adoption and continued adherence with the new processes across the board. That’s because the employees participated in the design,

It resulted in delivering the wrong information to the end users. Finally, after the arrival of a new IT manager, they revisited the flaws and this time they involved the end users and obtained their valuable feedback at every step. [1]

Why is the testing stage of systems development so important?

After the proposed system is analyzed and designed, the actual implementation of the system occurs. After implementation, working system is available and it requires timely maintenance.

The planning involved in the deployment and implementation of information system are highlighted in the following points:
