Description

For this assignment you will write a 3-5 page paper (not counting any cover sheet or reference pages) that explains briefly what enterprise architecture (EA) is and then how it supplements and enables each of the phases of the SDLC:

Initiation/planning/concept phase

Systems Analysis and Requirements phase- for this phase, please consider quality or non-functional requirements or the “ilities” (security, maintainability, etc.)

System Design phase

Development phase

Integration and Test phase

Implementation phase

Operations and Maintenance phase

Please refer to the Basic IT SDLC link provided in your content area for Week 8 for useful information on each phase. https://www.innovativearchitects.com/KnowledgeCenter/basic-IT-systems/system-development-life-cycle.aspx

You should explain how EA enables each phase, how it fits into each phase, and what unique qualities or capabilities a well-defined EA contributes that might not otherwise be available to the organization.Very important!
