Feasiblity Study

After making system requirement analysis the next step is to make analysis of the software requirement. In other words feasibility study is also called software requirement analysis. In this phase development team has to make communication with customers and make analysis of their requirement and analyze the system. By making analysis this way it would be possible to make a report of identified area of problem. By making a detailed analysis on this area a detailed document or report is prepared in this phase which has details like project plan or schedule of the project, the cost estimated for developing and executing the system, target dates for each phase of delivery of system developed and so on. This phase is the base of software development process since further steps taken in software development life cycle would be based on the analysis made on this phase and so careful analysis has to be made in this phase.

System Requirements Analysis

Systems Requirement Analysis gives the professional systems engineer the tools to set up a proper and effective analysis of the resources, schedules and parts that will be needed in order to successfully undertake and complete any large, complex project. The text offers the reader the methodology for rationally breaking a large project down into a series of stepwise questions so that a schedule can be determined and a plan can be established for what needs to be procured, how it should be obtained, and what the likely costs in dollars, manpower and equipment will be in order to complete the project at hand.

Systems Requirement Analysis is compatible with the full range of engineering management tools now popularly used, from project management to competitive engineering to Six Sigma, and will ensure that a project gets off to a good start before it's too late to make critical planning changes. The book can be used for either self-instruction or in the classroom, offering a wealth of detail about the advantages of requirements analysis to the individual reader or the student group.

The Software Development Life Cycle

The Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC), or Software Development Life Cycle in systems engineering and software engineering, is the process of creating or altering systems, and the models and methodologies that people use to develop these systems. The concept generally refers to computer or information systems.

In software engineering the SDLC concept underpins many kinds of software development methodologies. These methodologies form the framework for planning and controlling the creation of an information system: the software development process.

The Project Charter

The Project Charter gives the Project Manager the green light and authority to start moving on a project.  It will serve as an internal document that captures high level planning information (scope, deliverables, assumptions, etc.)

An example of a Project Charter is shown in Project Charter Example for Every Project Manager.

Getting Started in Software Development

How do you build a system?  It is just like designing a house.  You do not go out there and mix cement right away.  First, you sit down and think how you would like your house to be.  Then you get a pencil and start drawing.

The same thing goes in software development.  You "draw" the functional specifications that make up your system and then "draw" the details of process specifications that goes with each function.
