· Describe at least two different approaches to a formal SDLC. What type of specific health care system would match well with each?

· Why is it important for an organization to have a formal SDLC?

Week Two Discussion Questions

· Why is defining the proper scope for a project so important? What are the dangers a project can face if the scope is not tied down?

· Discuss the approaches used by at least two methodologies to cover the scope, feasibility, and requirements generation portion of the SDLC. What are some strengths and weaknesses of each approach?

· What are some effects of using a database or other hardware or software resources for a project? How can a project best prepare to use outside resources effectively?

Week Three Discussion Questions
