STAGES OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND HOW KAIZEN MOTIVATES THEM

Managing a business asks us to follow some principles of management.By following these principles of management we can do the business in a proper manner.Let us now leave the principles of management and go to software development cycle.
SOFTWARE development has 5 stages mainly.When a group of people think that an idea is correct and if the idea rises to the expectations of the other people then the group of people start developing it.
The first stage is PLANNING:
In this stage the initial requirements are considered.A couple of Questions arise
What are we actually going to do?
What are the requirements?
In this phase these types of questions arise.
The second stage is ANALYSIS:
In this stage the answers for the above written questions are given.A deep analysis is done.
The third stage is DESIGN:
In this stage the designing is done.That is this is not the coding phase but the system design is done.
Short term goals and long term goals are established.
Short term goals are those which last for few weeks.Long term goals last for a few months.
Nothing is implemented.
The fourth stage is CODING:
This phase mainly concentrates on technology.By using the technology proper coding is done.
The fifth stage is TESTING:
The code written is tested.For testing separate team members are present.
The last but not the least stage is MAINTAINING:
In this phase the code written is given to the customer and it is maintained by the producers such that in case in future if any problems occur or if the technology develops then we can use the maintained code to sole the problem.
KAIZEN a Japanese scientist wrote so many books on management.He even derived the 5 S method for keeping a company perfect.
All the S's were in Japanese words.He mainly meant organizing,neatness,cleanness,self discipline and standardization.If we follow the same in software development we can improve the success rate, that is we can do everything in time. The accuracy, effectiveness and efficiency of the software can be improved.
