Maddy has been performing at a very high level at the firm, and so when two colleagues of hers who are currently leading other development efforts get sick or leave the company, she is asked to step in and help manage these two other efforts. When Maddy sits down at the first meeting that she is able to attend at which the first group is gathering, she hears them discussing the feasibility study in which they are currently engaged. She knows, then, which core process of the SDLC this team is currently doing. Which core process is it?a. systems analysisb. systems designc. systems planningd. systems implementation

Systems planning is the first stage of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC). At this point, the goals of the project are set and the system to be used is selected. Investors and top executives gather to determine the requirements of the project and the resources necessary to make the plan possible.

Also, a schedule of activities is created to tailgate the steps the firm takes during the project. In the end, a Requirement Specification document is written to follow with the next stage of the cycle which is the Systems Analysis.
