Activities and tasks typically associated with SDLC initial Planning (Conception or Initiation) include:
- Identify the problem or opportunity.
- Define the purpose and main goals of the software project, the problems the software will solve, and the benefits the project will provide?
- Create a project charter that summarizes the project objectives, scope, stakeholders, and high-level requirements. This document serves as a reference throughout the project.
- Define the project scope to outline what will be included and excluded from the project. This helps manage expectations and prevent scope creep.
- Conduct feasibility studies to assess the project’s viability from technical, operational, and economic perspectives to determine if the project is worth pursuing.
- Identify and allocate the necessary resources (people, tools, budget) needed for the project. This ensures that you have the right team and tools in place to execute the project.
