1. Describe the steps taken in the software selection process at Timberjack. Compare this to a 'traditional' Systems Development Life Cycle. Step-1 – intent: A need was realized. In early 1995, the Swedish groups (Sahlqvist and the Marta) were investigating the acquisition of new computer software to run their parts operations. The main reasons where heavy instability of their existing systems. Frequent system failures came from large amounts of modifications of their source code. As a result

Systems Development Life Cycle The systems development life cycle (SDLC) is the overall process for developing information systems from planning and analysis through implementation and maintenance. The SDLC is the foundation for all systems development methodologies and there are literally hundreds of different activities associated with each phase in the SDLC. Typical activities include determining budgets, gathering system requirements, and writing detailed user documentation. The activities

and site redundancy to allow for maximum uptime. What they are asking for is called the system development life cycle (SDLC). Systems development life cycle is defined as "activities and functions that systems developers typically perform, regardless of how those activities and services fit a particular methodology” (Shelly & Rosenblatt, 2011). The systems development life cycle contains the following steps in the model: required analysis, testing, implementation, documentation, deployment, and

too. Now that I have determined who the key stakeholders are, it is time for me to gather information. In order to get the correct information need for a project, I have chosen several methods that should contribute to the success of project. The first method will be one-on-one interviews. The method will help get the information I want by allowing me to ask questions that I develop. This type of information gathering will leave nothing to be left unanswered. The next method I will use is the Joint
