Question

Tony’s Chips has recently been sold to a new independent company. The new company has hired you to
manage a project that will move the old Website from an externally hosted solution to an internal one. The
company’s leadership is very concerned about redundancy for their site, insisting that a back-up site be
available as a failover in case the main site goes down. In addition, they want the site redesigned to allow
customers to order products online.
As part of your job, you must complete a 10-to-15 page paper that follows this project through the system
development life cycle (SDLC). This assignment will require you to do the following:
1. Discuss what it will take to build a Web architecture, move an existing Website with minimal
downtime, and provide a disaster recovery solution to ensure the site is always available.
a. The Web architecture should describe and justify operating system choices (i.e., Linux,
Apache, MYSQL, PHP, Windows, IIS, SQL, etc.).
2. Evaluate alternatives to the company self-hosting the site.
3. Build a Gantt chart using Microsoft Project or equivalent software, showing all tasks associated
with implementing the Website.
a. The chart should include a minimum of five (5) tasks, each with three (3) sub-tasks.
4. Explain and justify the system architecture you have selected.
5. Illustrate the system architecture using Visio or equivalent software.
6. Create a use case that documents the event of a customer ordering a bag of chips from the new
Website.
a. The use case should include a graphical representation using Visio or equivalent
software and a text description of the events.
7. Discuss the support operations that the internally hosted Website will require after
implementation.
8. Explain how you will evaluate the performance of the new site and the success of your project.

Developing and defining an efficient way for proposed requirements and improvement of existing websites will save efforts as well as resources in terms of time, money and manpower. 
This can be possible with the help of System Development Life Cycle and it is the most convenient way to do this.
Prima-facie of SDLC aims:
- To assures the release of quality systems
- To give strong management controls over the project resources
- To increase the productivity of newly developed or the updated existing product
One of the traditional and heavily used models in system development is Water Fall Model.
Waterfall Model
In this model, each stage must be finished before a next stage can start. Although designing and developing a new system is not as easy as it looks like, we still need to know each task independently before we can decide how all the stages will be integrated to develop the new website.
