Implementation

The Implementation Phase will start after the System Analysis and Design Phase when the hardware & software configuration has been identified. This phase is to implement the findings of the SA&D, carry out the physical system design, develop programs, test and install systems and proceed to live implementation.

The following activities and deliverables should be included:
