This document provides an overview of systems and the system development life cycle (SDLC). It defines a system as an organized grouping of interdependent components linked together to achieve an objective. The characteristics of a system include elements, inputs/outputs, a processor, control, feedback, environment, and boundaries/interfaces. An SDLC represents the major stages of an information systems development project, including planning, analysis, design, and implementation. Planning involves feasibility studies and creating a project plan. Analysis breaks the system down into parts and gathers requirements. Design decides where the system will be created and how it will operate. Implementation builds, purchases, or tests the system and provides training and support.
