Systems Analysis and Design - Software Development Life Cycle (Part 11)

After a few gruelling units, we begin to slow down a little... in this unit we rewind a little, and discuss approaches to systems development. We already learned both structured and object oriented techniques (although we focused on object oriented), we compare these and other methods, and how they can be carried out in an over system design.

Objectives:

Compare the underlying assumptions and uses of a predictive and an adaptive system development life cycle (SDLC)
Describe the key activities and tasks of information system support
Explain what comprises a system development methodology—the SDLC as well as models, tools, and techniques
Describe the two overall approaches used for software construction and modeling: the structured approach and the object-oriented approach
Describe the key features of Agile development

Brian, thanks a lot! These series of lectures are beyond awesome!

As always, your lectures are just awesome. Your examples help to remember the concepts easier.

Just had a small doubt with regards to this lecture -
I wanted to clarify what SDLC stands for. Isnt it System Development Life Cycle and not Software Development Life Cycle as you mention at 00:11. I would also like to know if these both are the same. Thanks again, ur really doing a great job!!!
