Module I. Week 4
Lesson 4: Program and its Life Cycle
Lesson Objectives
At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:
a. Explain the program and its life cycle.
b. Make a timeline showing the program and its life cycle
c. State the importance of the program and its life cycle.

DAY 1
LET’S EXPLORE
Last time, we studied about the levels of programming languages. Now, we move on to program and
its life cycle. Let’s start!
Activity 1. Direction: Fill the flowchart with the choices inside the box.

Planning the Method of Solution Documentation

Coding Understanding the Problem

Development of Methods Program testing and debugging

1. 2. 3.

6. 5. 4.

DAY 2
LET’S EXPLAIN

Program and its Life Cycle

1. Understanding the Problem - the programmer should understand the problem thoroughly in terms of
requirements.
2. Planning the Method of Solution - once the problem is being understood, the method should now be
planned depending on the size of the task. It may be shared amongst many programmers.
3. Development of Methods using Algorithms and Flowcharts - algorithm is a problem solving technique while
flowchart is a pictorial representation of an algorithm is called flowchart.
4. Coding the Instruction in a Programming Language - as you design the solution, we have to choose a
programming language depending upon the type of application and codes statements to implement our
algorithm.

5. Program Testing and Debugging - the process of correcting errors in sequencing or entering the codes.
6. Documentation - it includes a statement of the problem and details of the pogram

DAY 3
LET’S CREATE
Create a timeline chart containing the process of program’s life cycle. Refer to the rubric below: Use a
separate sheet of bond paper for this activity.
Indicators 5 4 3 2 1
The timeline
chart is
systematic.
The content and
supporting
details of the
chart is based
on facts.
The design of
the timeline
chart is crafted
with creativity.
Legend:
5 - Excellent
4 - Very Satisfactory
3 - Satisfactory
2 - Fairly Satisfactory
1 - Poor

DAY 4
LET’S DEEPEN
In a 5-10 word paragraph, write the importance of program’s life cycle in the whole programming
process.
