A well-defined and implemented EA contributes significantly to each of the phases of the SDLC. For this assignment you will write a 3-5 page paper (not counting any cover sheet or reference pages) that explains briefly what enterprise architecture (EA) is and then how it supplements and enables each of the phases of the system development lifecycle (SDLC):

1.Initiation/planning/concept phase

2. Systems Analysis and Requirements phase – for this phase, please consider quality or non-functional requirements or the “ilities” (security, maintainability, etc.)
3. System Design phase
4. Development phase
5. Integration and Test phase
6. Implementation phase
7. Operations and Maintenance phase
