UNIVERSITY PRAYER

Lord God of all wisdom

We pray for the La Consolacion University

Philippines that she may be faithful to the purposes
of our foundresses, continue to promote the search
for truth and knowledge and be an inspiration for
others to follow.
 UNIVERSITY PRAYER
May we be a community of scholars sharing this
ambition, caring for one another and loyal to the

Phase 1: Project Initiation

This phase involves all the initial activities that will be needed for
the project. One of the first steps in this phase is the
conceptualization of the project itself.

This phase also involves justifying the project’s existence to the

stakeholders (company executives, financiers, users, etc.)
 Activities Deliverables

• Conceptualization • Concept Paper

• Broad Scoping
• Creation of
Acceptance Criteria
Phase 2: Planning
and Design
• This phase intends to prepare the
essentials of the project even
before execution. These essentials
include the composition of the
project team and the assignment of
each member, a clear timetable, a
work breakdown structure, a finite
budget, and ready contingencies.
 Activities
• Project Team identification
and mobilization
• Detailed Project Scoping
• Project Requirements
Analysis
• Project Designing
Deliverables
• Project Team Composition
• Project Timetable
• Detailed Scope (Functional
Specifications, Use Cases)
• Design Documents (Web
Design, Database Design,
etc.)
Phase 3: Development
• This is usually where most of the work is
done. In this phase, the actual codes or, in
the case of video, digital output are put
together by the developer, applications
are integrated, and databases are created.
 Activities Deliverables
• Code Development • Software for
• Module Testing Testing
• Module
Integration
 Phase 4: Testing

• A consolidated testing occurs after Phase 3 has

been accomplished. This phase, codes are tested to
make sure that they address the defined user
requirements and that they are bug-free.
 Activities Deliverables
• Testing/Debugging • Acceptance
• Revisions Documents
• System for
deployment
 Phase 5: Deployment

• Once the system has been accepted by the

stakeholders, the project is launched and exposed
to the targeted users.
• Deployment may also include user training and the
creation of user manuals.
 Activities Deliverables

• Migration • Live System/Website

• Training • User Training
• Documentation • User Manuals
 Phase 6: Maintenance

• In this phase, the developers of the system should be able to

provide technical support for the users of the system. It is even
possible that bugs may be discovered in this stage, thus,
developers need to fix them as they occur. Also, users may
require the developers to make changes to the system as
needed.
 Activities Deliverables

• Debugging of newly • Technical Support

discovered errors • Reports (status of
• Monitoring the the system, bugs,
system etc.)
Types of IT
Project Life
Cycles
The Waterfall Model

The software industry’s first popular project life cycle model.

It tracked the life cycle of software engineering projects and subdivided

these into a number of distinct phases.

These phases, while overlapping each other in a timeline, were supposed

to function in a linear, uni-directional, and very predictable way.

The Spiral Model

• It follows the progression of the

Waterfall model by anticipating
the predictable steps in
implementing a project while
leaving room to accommodate
the changes that may happen as
the project is being delivered.

The Rapid Application Development
Model

• The Rapid Application Development (or RAD) model

is based on prototyping and iterative model with no
(or less) specific planning. In general, RAD approach
to software development means putting lesser
emphasis on planning tasks and more emphasis on
development and coming up with a prototype.
