A systems development life cycle is composed of distinct work phases that are used by systems engineers and systems developers to deliver information systems.Like anything that is manufactured on an assembly line, an SDLC aims to produce high-quality systems that meet or exceed expectations, based on requirements, by delivering systems within scheduled time frames and cost estimates.

Structured systems analysis and design method. Structured systems analysis and design method (SSADM) is a systems approach to the analysis and design of information systems. SSADM was produced for the Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency, a UK government office concerned with the use of technology in government, from 1980 onwards.
Structured analysis and design technique (SADT) is a diagrammatic notation designed specifically to help people describe and understand systems. [1] It offers building blocks to represent entities and activities, and a variety of arrows to relate boxes. These boxes and arrows have an associated informal semantics. [2]
HIPO for hierarchical input process output is a popular 1970s systems analysis design aid and documentation technique [17] for representing the modules of a system as a hierarchy and for documenting each module. [18] It was used to develop requirements, construct the design, and support implementation of an expert system to demonstrate ...
Structured analysis consists of interpreting the system concept (or real world situations) into data and control terminology represented by data flow diagrams. The flow of data and control from bubble to the data store to bubble can be difficult to track and the number of bubbles can increase. One approach is to first define events from the ...
Rapid application development was a response to plan-driven waterfall processes, developed in the 1970s and 1980s, such as the Structured Systems Analysis and Design Method (SSADM). One of the problems with these methods is that they were based on a traditional engineering model used to design and build things like bridges and buildings.
Systems engineering uses a host of tools that include modeling and simulation, requirements analysis, and scheduling to manage complexity. Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary field of engineering and engineering management that focuses on how to design, integrate, and manage complex systems over their life cycles.
IBM stencil for HIPO. HIPO model (hierarchical input process output model) is a systems analysis design aid and documentation technique from the 1970s, [1] used for representing the modules of a system as a hierarchy and for documenting each module. [2][3]
