The document outlines the typical phases of a program development life cycle: 1) Problem definition - defining the problem statement and boundaries. 2) Problem analysis - determining requirements like variables and functions. 3) Algorithm development - developing a step-by-step procedure to solve the problem. 4) Coding and documentation - writing the actual program code to implement the algorithm. 5) Testing and debugging - checking if the code solves the problem correctly. 6) Maintenance - actively using the program and repeating phases if enhancements are needed.
