This article by Russell Kay dates back to 2002 but I think
that it provides a great explanation of the System Development Life Cycle
(SDLC). The writer provides an overview
of the Waterfall methodology and breaks it down. He then goes into the pros and cons. It is explained that the system works great
for accounting purposes but not so well for information sharing and knowledge
based systems. The writer then proceeds
onto some of the other methods such as the fountain and spiral models. The author does a good job of taking the
complexity of the SDLC and putting it into simple to understand language. The article is just hits the surface and is
for someone just getting their feet wet.
At the bottom of page 2 of the article are some reference sites for
people who what to delve deeper into the SDLC and gain a better understanding.
