Bead Bar Systems Development

Bead Bar Systems Development
The Bead Bar needs a detailed process of analysis and design from systems development. With use of hardware, software, networks, and the internet Bead Bar will be able to advance with the advancements in technologies. Bead Bar will use information systems for competitive advantages. The systems development life cycle (SDLC) consists of (1) planning, (2) systems analysis, (3) systems design, (4) development, (5) testing, (6) implementation, and (7) maintenance. The SDLC has three primary objectives to ensure that high quality systems are delivered, provide strong management controls on the projects, and maximize the productivity of the systems staff users.
Information systems (IS) are a collection of interrelated components that collect, process, store, and provide as output the information needed to complete business tasks. The system will have functional decomposition that divides the system into components based on subsystems that in turn are further divided into subsystems. Systems fail due to missing requirements, skipping phases, failure to manage project plans, changing technology, and poor implementation. The life cycle of the plan is shown in Figure 1.

PLANNING
The planning phase consists of what, when and how the team is going to face the project. This phase will consist of what personnel are needed either existing personnel or hiring new consultants. The hardware and software will be determined on the needs of the organization. The software needed will have to be developed or bought off the shelf. Deliverables of completed software programming and documentation, training, user manuals and testing plans will be initiated and submitted in the plan. Overall, the plan has to be affordable and provide adequate return on investment (ROI).
The economic feasibility addresses the reasons of building the project. Are the projected benefits going to produce income inflows?...
