Program design Implementation Phase The System Development Life Cycle Conclusion By carefully following the four phases of the system development life cycle and the steps defined in each phase, a information system can be successful by avoiding rough waters and make it safely to shore. By Daniel DeMello-Johnson 1. As with any type of project there needs to a specific plan or blueprint in place to make it successful.
