Systems Development Life Cycle : Desiree M. Kamansky

The first milestone will be concept approval. During this phase, feasibility studies and basic system concepts have been approved by the management. The project is on course to proceed according to the detailed requirements. The next milestone is requirements review. During this stage, requirement specifications are ready, correct, and approved for input to the design. The next milestone will be preliminary design review here the architectural design meets all product requirements. Critical design review will then follow. During this phase, the detailed designs are approved and suitable for the development of test cases. The next milestone will be the test plan review, which involves reviewing the test plan to ensure product features are satisfactory. The next milestones will be tested readiness review, system test review, operational readiness review, and operational product

The System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and the Risk Management Framework (RMF) are both processes that are critical to the overall function of an information system, however many project managers and system developers working with the SDLC regularly neglect to incorporate the RMF steps into the development of information systems. This lack of planning and foresight often has unexpected financial impacts, or worse, adverse security effects to an organization later on. Is it possible these individuals overlook the RMF because it is difficult to follow or does not align well with the SDLC? What is the purpose of, and the steps involved with each of these

Until now IT has become the significant role of execution within organization. Due to the efficiency of IT governance, it is apply to organization area more extensive. In addition, The IT Governance Institute cites 5 specific areas that need to be considered by those with the responsibility of managing IT, the five areas are: adding value, managing risk, matching IT to strategy, measuring performance and managing resources.

IT Governance is an internal IT strategy used to analyze and prioritize current and future IT projects through the IT governance process. It involves assessing current projects, defining future vision, and ensuring project road maps are structured properly. “Good governance enables you to make and implement better decisions faster, and provides the foundation for weaving together business and IT strategies (Broadbent, Kitzis, 2005).

The continual strive for world class health care has identified the systems life cycle as an import element to improve patient care. Systems development life cycle is a “phased approach to analysis and design which holds that systems are best developed through the use of a specific cycle of analyst and user activities” (Kendall & Kendall, 2014, p.4). The seven phases of the systems life cycle are identifying problems, determining human information requirements, analyzing system needs, design the system, developing and documenting software, testing and maintain the system, and implementing and evaluating the system (Kendal &Kendall, 2014). The roles of the nurse informatician and a project manager play an integral part in the development and success of a project.

IM/IT governance helps the organization make business decisions more accurately and in a timelier manner (Glandon, Smaltz, Slovensky, 2008). In order to complete this, five general guidelines were created. They are as follows: Develop a consistent IT strategy, Align IT Planning with Organizational Planning, Develop IT Infrastructure, Architecture and Policies, Set IT Project

IT governance incorporates ideas and information about the way you execute your business strategy. It is about how you operationalize and capitalize on market opportunity. It is only at the lowest levels of division that IT governance is about decision rights, compliance, regulations, standards, and policies. And while not to minimize the extreme importance of these elements for IT governance, I do declare that if your IT governance solution is primarily about being compliant, etc., and secondarily about business execution, then neither your IT organization nor your business is likely to benefit from your implementation. You will have missed the opportunity that IT governance offers.

with respect to the IIS and its data. In addition, the security policy should include appropriate procedures to ensure local site data and software are properly managed. The IIS applications such as general reader, general user, and site manager need to be created to support the objectives of the policies (Arzt, 2007). In addition, this proposal will apply the System development Life Cycle (SDLC) in developing information security policy.

Information technology (IT) governance is part of the overall governance of an organization with a particular emphasis on controlling the information technology of an entity to benefit the stakeholders (Prasad et al., 2012). It focuses on the consistency between the entity’s goals and objectives and the approach in which IT is applied within the entity in a fast IT changing environment.

I.T governance can be implemented by using a mixture of strategies which involve structure, process and relationship mechanisms. When implementing I.T governance it is very important to understand that every organisation is different and have different internal and external factors which may be conflicting. There for there needs to be a mix of the right of mechanisms. This can often be a very complex and challenging task. One mix of strategies may not work for another company and may need different structures, relationship and process mechanisms. To help show the relationship between each mechanism the Peterson model can be used. The structures section of the framework entails the functions IT executives and IT communities are responsible for. Processes involve monitoring and making of strategic decisions. Relationship mechanisms control participation between I.T and business sectors, shared learning and also communication.

I will show what I consider as advantages and disadvantages of the waterfall model in the table below:

IT governance defines the IT structure, measures, and monitoring framework and should include business value created and delivered in a cost-effective and efficient manner, risks identified and controlled, and assurance of effective oversight. The organization's missions and strategic directions must meet business needs for IT solutions, which requires corporate

The waterfall model consists of five phases such as requirements, Design, implementation, verification and maintenance. The method is a sequential design process where progress is seen as flowing downwards in a steadily manner, each development phase has its own distinct goals. The model is similar to water flowing down a cliff it can only flow in one way and cannot go back up it is the same with waterfall development ,after a development phase is completed it proceeds to the next development phase you cannot go back.

ARC is an established brand that operates in the car racing industry. They are based in Australia with a customer base, both locally and internationally. The organisation is planning to expand to Hong Kong and Shanghai during the coming year. They developed a system to assist them with their customers, which was growing tremendously.

In software development, there are various types of methods that developers follow in order to produce valuable software. From the many types of methods that exist today, the industry standard that is mostly followed today is the software development lifecycle (SDLC). The SDLC is a process that software development companies utilize in order to design, develop and test software during production. Within the SDLC, there are different test models that developers can utilize based on their business and development requirements. Currently today, the most common models include the waterfall, iterative, spiral and V-model. Regardless of the model that a developer decides to utilize, all the phases will be the same, which would begin with the first step and that is the requirement gathering and analysis phase.
