The purpose of the SDLC approach is to provide a repeatable, uniform process to develop new automated information systems and enhance or maintain existing systems, whether performed by the FDIC or through contract agreements. Use of the SDLC approach will help ensure that systems are developed efficiently and cost-effectively and meet user needs. The specific objectives of the FDIC’s SDLC approach are to define the phases, activities, participants, and responsibilities in the project; standardize the activities and product formats; identify where standard controls enter into the project; and ensure that DIT and the user understand the SDLC process and communicate.
