The document summarizes the key activities and objectives of the analysis phase of the systems development life cycle (SDLC). It discusses gathering requirements through fact-finding methods like interviews, observations, prototypes, and questionnaires. The analysis phase involves understanding business needs, processes, and operations to define functional and non-functional system requirements. Analysts work with various stakeholders to investigate and validate requirements.
