Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The four phases of the Systems Development Life Cycle are planning (where the project team is put together and the scope of the project is defined), analysis (where requirements are gathered and analyzed), design (where the system architecture and functionality are designed), and implementation (where the system is developed, tested, and deployed). Option A is not accurate, as modeling and diagramming are part of the design phase, not separate phases. Option B is incorrect as construction, installation, testing, and conversion are all parts of implementation. Option C refers to project management phases, not the SDLC. Option E is incorrect as system request and feasibility are part of the planning phase, and staffing and construction are part of the implementation phase.
