[Year 12 SofDev] Implementation

[Mark Kelly]

Howdy.

The study design refers to the SDLC's implementation phase as "including 
user documentation, designing and conducting training programs, 
preparation of disaster recovery plans and the changeover to new systems"

I always have put documentation writing in the development phase (if 
using the 5-phase SDLC model which lacks the 7-phase model's 
documentation phase).

And designing training surely should happen much earlier - in the design 
phase, as its name implies - along with preparing a DDRP.

While I'm on the subject, I find it a tad confusing that the VCAA has 
dictated a 5-stage SDLC and a separate 7-stage "software development" 
cycle which is identical to the 7-stage SDLC.

One would have thought that the 7-stage SDLC (ADDTDIE) would have 
adequately catered for both needs.
