SDLC in Life Event Cycle: Case Study of 25
th
Wedding Anniversary Celebration
Introduction
SDLC or System Development Life Cycle is a conceptually designed approach
phased into several parts to create a grand project's whole management. It acts as a proposal
before the project's implementation and helps manage the project's time and efficiency.
Different models can be followed such as Joint Application Development (JAD) or Rapid
Application Development (RAD) based on the requirements of different applications.
However, despite the difference in models, the ultimate objective in all the models of SDLC
remains the same- to follow the designed phases which will determine the success of the
project (Gillis n.d.).
Why is SDLC Necessary? Pros and Cons
SDLC is a traditional approach that can be used throughout the life cycle to create a
structured and improved strategy for implementing the different steps in a life cycle project.
The organised structure of the SDLC in project results in the optimum realisation of goals in
a life cycle project. A properly well-managed SDLC life cycle project needs to take care of
the customer requirements, the estimated logistics and the other limitations that can be
expected from a life cycle project. Some of the biggest pros of applying SDLC in a project is
that helps in efficient implementation with greater results and productivity.
SDLC helps in executing a properly structured project but the biggest challenge
involved in it is that SDLC helps in planning ahead which has the potential of delivering a
good quality end product. It is a long rigid development process where each of the steps has
to be religiously followed to obtain the desired result. Any break in the phases or a detour will
make the final results complicated.

Application of SDLC in a Life Cycle in Life Events: Case Study of

Wedding Anniversary
SDLC is used in most technical and IT-related projects. However, the use of SDLC in
non-technical fields such as life events has gained prominence in the recent past.
Understanding the use of SDLC in a non-technical life event gives us an idea to handle SDLC
in more complicated technical projects. This study will take the case study of a 25
th
wedding
anniversary to understand how SDLC can be used for arranging such an event.
Project Planning
Twenty-five years of togetherness is a sterling achievement that needs a grand
celebration. However, to make the event memorable, the planning stage needs to take
everything into consideration, right from the budget to the guest list to the music and food for
the evening. Planning should be such that everything needs to be considered cautiously. The
subject must be materialised and the goals for the events need to be identified at the earliest.
The agenda needs to be defined with months to spare and the practicability of the project
needs to be established at the initial stage. Another major agenda in the planning stage is to
identify the limitations and threats that might create problems at the later stage.
A twenty-fifth anniversary is a once-in-a-lifetime event that cannot go wrong. It has to
be the perfect silver jubilee for the couple for which the planning needs to be flawless without
any interruptions. In the planning stage, the initial and the major foundational ideas of the
event such as the venue, the pedestal for the couple, electricity and catering service needs to
be determined and contacted. In this stage, the probable risks and ideas to tackle those risks
need to be sorted.
Project Analysis
This is the second phase which deals with the analytics of the project. This stage goes
much beyond the planning stage and dives deeper into the preparation. This stage properly

analyses the loopholes from the planning stage and if needed, changes in the plan can be
considered. This is considered the penultimate stage before the project goes into action. This
stage therefore will result in finalising the objectives and ideas and the practicability of
different arrangements would be considered for one last time. One of the most important
steps in this stage would be to consider the perspectives of the hosts of the event including
the happy couple and their family members. This stage will look at the details such as the
guest list, the food items and the music that needs to be played for the party. A very important
feature of this stage is to finalise the budget and determine wish lists according to the budget.
This stage also determines the ideas and party details that need to be done for the guests. For
example, fun and games for the guests or a special slideshow showing the journey of the
veteran couple through the last twenty-five years prove integral and important for the silver
jubilee celebration.
Project Design
The third stage is the design stage which creates the magic. This is definitely the most
important stage of the entire process where the functions determined in the previous two
stages actually take place. This stage starts the development process by adding all the
requirements to build the comprehensive project. It builds up a strategy through which every
step decided in the previous two stages is put into action one by one. The threats and
challenges that were probable are often actually tackled in this stage for a smooth proceeding
to the final stage of implementation. It needs to be ensured that the design stage is exactly
how it was decided in the last two stages. In light of the twenty-fifth-anniversary celebration
party, this stage goes with decorating the venue with linen and fairy lights, the theme of the
celebration is fixed and designed accordingly. Essential procurement of different items
needed for the event is sorted and compiled to be used for the main date. Safety drills are
carried out and other hazard-tackling gears are gathered for mitigating any kind of danger.

Project Execution
This is the ultimate stage before the project goes live. In this important stage, every
detail which was decided over so many months is implemented and the system is installed for
usage and assessment. A separate support team has to be ready at this stage for tackling any
kind of issues and dealing with the feedback. The system is compared and analysed according
to the requirements and the project is installed and operated according to it. In case of an
event like a silver jubilee wedding anniversary celebration, the venue is designed according
to the theme, the projector for the slideshow is fitted, the food catering service is ready for the
event, the electricity and the musical arrangements are prepared and the safety measures are
ensured according to the plan. The activities are implemented and the venue becomes ready
for the event ensuring that risks and problems will be tackled without any difficulties. The
last activity would naturally be taking feedback from the customers on the entire project to
assess themselves better for improvement in the future.
Conclusion
Silver Jubilee Celebration is a grand celebration that needs to be done perfectly
without any glitches. SDLC helps a team to follow a smooth procedure from a very early
period that helps them to take care of the event properly. The existence of different stages
helps ensure that each phase is perfected properly before approaching the final installation.
