Implementation
The implementation stage of any project is a true display of the defining moments that make a project a success or a failure. The implementation stage is defined as "the system or system modifications being installed and made operational in a production environment. The phase is initiated after the system has been tested and accepted by the user. This phase continues until the system is operating in production in accordance with the defined user requirements" (DOJ, 1). While all of the planning that takes place in preparation of the implementation phase is critical, I am of the opinion that the implementation itself is equally as important.
When working through the process of defining and selecting my organization's new enterprise business system, the implementation stage became the most anticipated and important part of the SDLC for the organization. A tremendous effort had been exuded in planning and preparation for the application development and deployment. The start of the implementation phase was an indication that progress was being made and the system was well underway.
For my organization, the implementation phase kicked-off with the coding of the application. Because we were using a retail system with a few customizations, the coding stage was not nearly as long as it might be with other business systems. With regard to coding, two things had to occur. The first was to customize some of the fields and interfaces in the retail system. The second was to develop the web-based front-end that would serve as the primary interface to our application. Both of these coding tasks were completed in a reasonable amount of time.
After the initial coding was complete, the customized application and web interface were presented to my organization for approval. For the most part, the presentation was successful. We had decided to modify a few of form fields and change the color scheme of the web interface. The consultant made the necessary code changes and presented the modified versions for our approval. The changes were precisely what we expected and we accepted the final versions. After receiving our approval, the consultants finalized the code and prepared to move into the testing phase.
In testing, the objective is "the bringing together of all the programs that a system comprises for testing purposes" (SDLC Glossary, 1). The testing phase for our application was broken into two halves.

At this stage you would then continue the process, as the PDCA will ensure the ISMS continues to evolve to meet the HBWC 's needs. Deliverables at this stage would include an audit checklist, and results from an internal audit.
Picture a person who that is juggling doing several things at once; they are balancing a stick in one hand and another stick on their nose. Each stick has a plate on the top that they want to keep spinning without losing balance or dropping either. There is a lot going on in those actions including the exact timing of when to reach up and spin a plate, constant body movement to keep the sticks balanced as not to fall, and a continued push from the free hand to keep both plates spinning. This paradigm could be used to describe integration knowledge area of project management. Schwalbe (2014) defines project management as, “Coordinating all other project management knowledge areas throughout a project’s life-cycle. This integration ensures that all the elements of a project come together at the right
Because of complexity and the way it (project) is too long each team member is assigned a task, making code for each programmer not to be too long. Both unit and module testing are accomplished here by software developers. The computer language like C++, Java, Pascal, COBOL and other programming languages is used for coding. On receiving system design documents, the work is divided in modules and actual coding is started. Since, in this phase the code is produced so it is the main focus for the developer. This is the longest phase of the software development life
As discussed, this project and its requirements highlight areas where future work/improvements can be made to increase the project and the outcome. The timeframe put on this project is something which can be changed to deliver a full implementation rather than “vanilla functionality” which would later need to be modified. Another factor to consider delivering a full implementation would be the capital investment which is used for this project as this needs to be topped

A Project Introduction and a Project Plan Project Deliverable 1: Project Plan Inception: The scope of this project revolves around the addition of new resources and expansion of existing systems and hardware. This will provide an avenue for a larger entity that has the capability to deliver in an efficient and effective manner. A hybrid model such as cloud technologies will provide the appropriate structure relevant to a large and growing entity as per the proposed merger. Cloud technology can be hosted within and outside the entity for security reasons and maintenance issues.
The Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) consists of phases used in developing a piece of software. It is the plan of how to develop and maintain software, and when necessary, replace that software. In 2007 during my hospital’s transition to a new software system, I was fortunate enough to be included in the process. I did not get involved until the implementation phase, but from then on, until now, I remain very active in the process. I decided to highlight the Waterfall Model of SDLC. The Waterfall Model is a “sequential development process” with each phase continuing in a line (McGonigle and Mastrian, 2012, p. 205).

When deciding whether to implement in stages or full scale, a company must consider several factors related to the feasibility of each option. Like Tektronix, companies with multiple and/or unrelated business units will benefit more from a phased implementation approach. This allows the company to evaluate the success or failure of the implementation at different stages and in various functionalities. Implementing in stages incurs less risk for large companies than a full-scale approach, a...
The development team has begin to have meetings with both Bob and Thelma Mellankamp. They have expressed that they need to go ahead with an upgrade of their information system. To conduct the planning necessary several step must be taken. These are to include the identification of the issue; the scope of the project as a whole; the feasibility of the project; and the development of a project scope statement in order to identify expectations, deliverables, and benefits of conducting this project.
Here we test the system function manner that can be reasonably expected by the customer, the system was tested against system requirement specification.

The approach or the model framework of the project development is iterative and incremental development, that is, iterative and incremental development is a discipline for developing systems based on producing deliverables. Therefore, the basic idea behinds this approach is to develop a system through repeated cycles (iterative) and in smaller portions at a time (incremental), allowing developers to take advantage of what was learned during development of earlier parts of the project. Specifically saying, in incremental development different parts of the system are developed at various times and integrated based on their phases while in iterative development, parts of the system will be revisited in order to revise and improve them. Nevertheless, successful deliverables are acquired through modifying targets of the system consulted by users in order to get feedbacks.
