CIS 121 - System Development Life Cycle

A quick discussion of the activies and benefits of the system development lifecycle.
Be sure to turn on captions. 'Sorry about the weird numbers appearing -- apparently Camtasia and UA-cam had a failure to communicate.

[@jordanfaris1929]

Over a year after you posted this, I have just barely discovered the absolute best video and phase breakdown description about the SDLC online.
Thank you, sir, your hard work is much appreciated!

[@CanMetan]

To the point, nothing extra, nothing time wasting here.
Great explanation, thanks for the video.

[@classic70s80s]

Thank you for creating it. You have a real talent explaining difficult topics. I enjoyed it a lot.

[@nicolelopez7117]

I'm a nurse who is taking on the position on a PM and wow this is an awesome video!! So much good advise. It has helped me plan how I'm going to start my first day. I'm in the deployment phase and I feel more confident and excited!!
Thank you.

[@Solja88]

Your video was used in a training I attended, you're so precise and clear. Thank you so much.

[@Auraelius]

Thank you! Can you tell me more about the training?

[@Solja88]

Al Zimmerman Yes , thank you so much for taking time to reply. WE were studying SDLC yesterday and my trainer played your video and just carried us along as you explained and answered our questions. And we were couldn't stop talking about how much information we got from it and enjoyed it.

[@stevearyeetey100]

I must say, that was a brilliant tutorial. Thank you sir!!!

[@Auraelius]

+Steve Aryeetey Thank you!

[@Auraelius]

I'm glad you liked the video.
This one used Camtasia on a PC (running on VMWare on a Mac), Keynote on an iPad, being viewed via an AirPlay app called Reflector. The camera and headset are from logitech. I used natural lighting from a nearby window.
I used Camtasia because of the "automatic" captioning capability.

[@BensonNjugunaSpencer]

superb planning and execution of your presentation Mr. Al Zimmerman . I like the crystal clear explanation, attention to every key detail and the flow of explanation,especially about how planning falls in to all the phases( my lecturers never taught me that). Best lecture I have ever listened to, and hey, it didn't even last 30 minutes. looking forward to more of your videos Al. *subscribes pap*

[@patrentacar]

One of the best overviews I've seen on UA-cam. Thank you.

[@munna12345ful]

Very helpful video.. The explanation was crystal clear !!! Looking forward for some more videos !! XxX thank you

[@DarylLunsford]

Outstanding! Not only is this a major help in a degree program I'm working on, but it actually clarifies some problems I've witnessed in roll-outs and "upgrades" on my current and past jobs. Too bad you weren't on those teams. :)

Do you have any videos on documenting functional and nonfunctional requirements?

[@Auraelius]

No, I'm afraid not. Let me know if you find one out there!

[@ChristopherMusni]

Great explanation of iterative method.
I hope you create Agile method too :( . that would be awesome.

[@leonhenry4861]

Great video

[@mikethomas2944]

May I ask why you wait until the deploy phase to check on the scale of the project. I understand its an iterative process but if the client or competitor have relevant information on the subject are we not obligated to flush that out sooner rather than stumble later?
ps- I loved your video and this is not a slam. Recently, I'm being looked at for a PM position and need all the info I can get. Thanks in advance for you response.

[@Auraelius]

I'm sorry it took so long for me to respond - i've messed up my comment notifications, apparently.
It's good to know the scale from the beginning. You are absolutely right. It will influence your architectural choices. But many projects never attain the scale their designers hope for, or as fast as they hope for. So, spending the money (by putting in the effort) to do a giant system from the start is premature. You might learn a lot from a small beta program with a couple hundred or few thousand users and realize you need an entirely different system to capture a significant market. Also, when you are first developing, it's challenging enough to get the system working at all. You need to get the system working on one server before you getting working on ten, or a hundred.
So I misspoke if I said don't think about scaling at all until you are preparing for deployment. That would indeed be too late. But you SHOULD wait until 1) you understand how to build the product and 2) You've tested your product with a smaller number of users so you are reasonably certain you are building what people will pay for. :-)

[@adityakadiyala2044]
