SSCP · Question #1319
While there are many different models for IT system life cycle most contain five unique phases. Which of the following would be the first phase?
The correct answer is B. Initiation. The initiation phase is typically the first step in an IT system life cycle, where the need for a system is identified and its feasibility is assessed.

Why each option
The initiation phase is typically the first step in an IT system life cycle, where the need for a system is identified and its feasibility is assessed.
Development occurs later, after the system requirements are defined and designed.
The initiation phase is the first step in most system life cycle models, involving identifying the need, defining project goals, and conducting feasibility studies.
Disposal is the very last phase, when the system is decommissioned.
Operation/Maintenance occurs after the system has been implemented and is in use.
Implementation follows development and involves deploying the system into the production environment.
