The document outlines the 7 stages of the system development lifecycle (SDLC), which include planning, feasibility analysis, software design, programming, implementation and integration, software testing, and installation and maintenance. Each phase involves critical activities such as requirement gathering, task division, coding, testing, and ultimately delivering the product to clients for installation. The SDLC is a continuous process that adapts over time with updates and new features until the software is eventually decommissioned.
