Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

This SDLC Framework diagram provides an overview of the Ministry’s Systems Development Life Cycle, showing each phase of the Life Cycle. It is meant to be a waterfall-based methodology. Each phase has gate requirements which must be completed prior to proceeding to the next phase. External linkages for each phase are shown.

The phases are clickable and lead you through the required or optional deliverables for each phase based on right-sizing.
