on systems development so you have a strong understanding
of what the SDLC is. No matter what your background or career
objectives are, you will be asked to get involved with the SDLC in
your professional life in some way, so it's good to know about it.
Second, understand that the objective of this assignment is to see if
you can understand the SDLC well enough to be able to describe it
in a different context, in this case developing a large, celebratory
event. It turns out, the steps you would use in developing an IT
application can be used in developing many other things, including
an event. In this activity, we are asking you to describe the SDLC
using an analogy - to "develop" and launch a personal (non-
technology) event. Much like developing software, in the case of a
large event you have to plan for it, analyze how you will construct
and evaluate it, design the event, implement it, and finally support
the event. At each phase of the event you will do the same kinds of
activities that are spelled out in the SDLC discussion, only applied to
delivering a successful event.
Finally, remember that your job is to show that you understand the
SDLC and that you know how to apply it in a different context -
planning an event. By clearly and explicitly describing the planning
& execution of a complex personal event using the SDLC
methodology, you will reinforce and illustrate your understanding of
the SDLC model. A good submission on this assignment will make it
clear to the reader that the SDLC methodology has been used to
address the challenge of planning and delivering your identified
event.
Being able to translate technical ideas (whether they're IT, finance,
accounting, marketing, or logistics ideas) into a more mainstream context is
a good skill to possess, and is also a good way to explain things to people
that may not understand your technical concepts. We ask you to do this
because often IT leaders are asked to explain technical and arcane concepts
to non-technical audiences. Most of all, try to have some fun with it.
