Software Development LifeCycle Templates for Disposition Phase
Nov
Phase ten of the Software Development LifeCycle is the Disposition Phase. We have now written technical documents for the Initiation, Concept Development, Planning, Requirements, Design, Development, Testing, Deployment and Operations phases.
SDLC Templates for Disposition Phase
Next, we will write documents to show how to dispose of the software once its lifecycle is completed. Use the Disposition Phase to eliminate a large part of a system or close down a system and end the life cycle process.
The deliverables for this phase include:
- Disposition Plan
- Post-Termination Review Report
- Archived System
Tasks & Activities for Disposition Phase
This phase ensures that data, procedures, and documentation are packaged and archived correctly, which lets you reinstall the system back to an operational status, if necessary
Tasks and activities for this phase include:
- Prepare Disposition Plan
- Archive or Transfer Data
- Archive or Transfer Software Components
- Archive Life Cycle Deliverables
- Close the System
- Dispose of Equipment
- Prepare Post-Termination Review Report
The Disposition Phase is the end of the systems life cycle. Create a Disposition Plan to address archiving, transferring, and disposing of the system and data.
The disposition activities preserve information not only about the production system but also how it developed through its life cycle.
