Description
Getting Started
Before a project begins, there must be an established need or a problem to solve. A System Vision Document is a pre-project activity that briefly describes a problem and then gives a basic overview of how the new system works. It is often used to help obtain approval for a project to begin. Other documents and tools are used in support of the processes.
Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to:
- Describe the various phases of systems development life cycle (SDLC).
