The Planning phase of SDLC,”the first and most important step of developing of a computer based information system is the identification of the system. Could be something as a warehouse manager unable to quickly locate stock when it has to be transported somewhere else, the need to create a customer data base or a more complex problem involving changes in the buying trends of customers. COmputer based information systems are ussually created in rein response to existing problems and it is the nature of these problems

The planning phase setting project objectives,”in the planning phase broad goals of the entire project are set. In particular it most be determined if the system or only part of the system needs to be replaced. Whilst this does not seem to be significant step, it if very important to the overall project. It is through the setting of these broad system goals that the measurments of success can be determined. That is at the completion of the planning phase, a clear picture of what the problem is has been established and equally important, a clear pictyre of what outcome will resolve the process has also been established. It should be noted here that we have not identified what needs to built into the computer based information system there is a very good reason for this- at this stage it is not relevant. In the problem solving phase, the focus is on identifying the problem and what would solve not how the problem has arisen and how it should be so,ved. The solution is linked through the problem and trhough this a process for solving it developes. A computer based information system should never be created for the sake of creating it-it should be created to solve the problem that was identified. too often a computer based information system will be created but will not solve the problem that it was intended to solve. This can ussually be traced back to the initial planning phase. When the outcomes to solve the problem were established, they would focus on what the system could be made to do

feasability study question,”can the system be createdthe first question that needs to be asked can the system be created? Seems like a rather obvious question. It is not as clear as it might seem. Often when a system is being developed specifically for an organization there will be no existing system on which to base company on. It may be that what seems like a simple idea cannot be created for whatever reason. While this step does not look in existing detail, it will look at what the system is required to do

If the system was developed can the company have the ability to keep it once it has,”once it has been established that the organization has the appropriate skills to develop the system, the feasbility study must determine if the company will be able ot keep the system operating at a level which will enable it to meet the organizational goals. In order to do this, it must be first determined, it can be established what resources will be needed to allow the system to run at this level. It will then be possible to evaluate if that organization has the appropriate resources. -including human, technical and physical. It might be possible for the organization to be able to implement the system without the need for additional resources however it is also quite likely that the organization will need to be provide needs to alter the nature of the resources it has available
