A good plan

Systems Development Life Cycle was the main topic in the reports. The first group reported on the approaches, methodologies and the overview on this topic. The succeeding groups took emphasis on the phases of the Systems Development Life Cycle ( SDLC ). On my own understanding, a good planning can contribute to the succes of a project. The planning phase of the SDLC, I think, should be taken into consideration since it will be the starting point of a project. Well, all of the phases of the SDLC are important but I do believe that a well planned project can be more successful. If a project is not planned properly, then it will not have a strong foundation. If it will not have a strong foundation, then it will not closely be successful. The planning phase is important because in this phase the objective of the project is defined and at the end of this phase, the project will begun with resources, schedules and a budget. I am not saying that, the focus will just be on the planning phase. It should also be continued in the succeeding phases. A good plan will be nothing if the other phases will be taken for granted.
