Systemsplanung

Systems planning, also known as systems design or IT planning, is the process of defining the architecture, modules, interfaces, and data for a system to satisfy specified requirements. It is a crucial stage in the system development life cycle (SDLC) that bridges the gap between user needs and the technical implementation of a solution. The primary goal of systems planning is to create a detailed blueprint that guides the development team, ensuring that the final system is functional, efficient, and meets the intended objectives.

This phase involves a thorough analysis of the problem or opportunity, followed by the conceptualization of potential solutions. Key activities include defining system scope, identifying necessary components and their interactions, specifying data structures and flows, and outlining the technological infrastructure required. Systems planning also considers non-functional requirements such as security, performance, scalability, and maintainability. The output of this process is typically a set of design documents, diagrams, and specifications that serve as the foundation for subsequent development and testing phases. Effective systems planning helps to mitigate risks, reduce development costs, and improve the overall quality of the resulting system.
