The systems development lifecycle (SDLC) is a critical process that must be implemented carefully when crafting innovative technical solutions for an established business environment. If not planned and executed correctly, each phase carries some level of risk that the project may not be totally successful. Use the company Amazon to use the SDLC to implement a data warehouse project to better support their day-to-day business operations as well as long-term data analytic needs.

Address the prompts below.

• Looking at each of the seven phases of the SDLC (planning, analysis, design, development, testing, implementation, and maintenance), what potential risks do you think the company faces for each phase that can threaten successful completion of the project?
• Do you think end users or customers should be a part of the team involved in a system development project? Why, or why not?
• What role does a project manager play in the successful implementation of new technology within a business?
• If you were to select any one of the seven phases of the SDLC as being the most important, which phase would you pick, and why?
