The systems development life cycle

The systems development life cycle (SDLC). The SDLC is the overall process for developing information systems, from planning and analysis through implementation and maintenance. The SDLC is the foundation for all systems development methods, and hundreds of different activities are associated with each phase. These activities typically include determining budgets, gathering system requirements, and writing detailed user documentation.

The multimillion-dollar Nike supply chain management (SCM) system failure is legendary as Nike CEO Philip Knight famously stated, “This is what we get for our $400 million?” Nike partnered with i2 to implement an SCM system that never came to fruition. i2 blamed the failed implementation on the fact that Nike failed to use the vendor’s implementation methodology and templates. Nike blamed the failure on faulty software.
