A Mumbai-based logistics company plans to build a new MIS. The project team lists the following steps: (i) system design, (ii) system analysis, (iii) system implementation, (iv) system planning and feasibility study. Which sequence reflects the conventional order of the MIS development life cycle?

The correct order is planning and feasibility study, then system analysis, then system design, and finally implementation. Requirements must be understood before a design is prepared, and the design must exist before the system is built, so the other sequences break this logic.

  1. Aiv, ii, i, iiiCorrect
  2. Bii, iv, iii, i
  3. Ci, ii, iv, iii
  4. Diii, i, ii, iv

Explanation

A development life cycle begins with planning and feasibility, then analysis of user requirements, then design of the solution, and finally implementation. Starting with design before analysis would mean building a system without knowing requirements, so the other sequences are wrong.
