Since most of you have indicated in your first discussion question that in response to COVID-19 time management has been difficult, I want to you all to come up with a time management life cycle plan using the same 7 steps:

-Planning: what do I want to accomplish? what am I planning for?

-Requirement Analysis: What factors are important to take into consideration?

-Design: What will it ideally look like? Again what factors need to be taken and built in?

-Implementation/Coding: What is launch plan? How to implement as smoothly as possible?

-Testing: Try and see? Does it work? What did/did not work? What needs to change?

-Deployment: Testing done - full on commitment to let it run and see if it works?

-Maintenance: What needs to be fixed to make it run as planned?

Solution: A software application is developed in a number of stages and each and on each and every stage a number of activities have to be performed by the software development team. All of these stages are described in brief down below:

Planning and Requirements: In this phase, you would have to talk with the client regarding what kind of functionalities they want the developers to add to the software application. The functional requirements can be UI related, location-related, data management related, how to track the infected people, how to show the warning or the alarm, etc. All these requirements would be discussed with the client and after that, they would be documented properly.

Requirements Analysis and Design: In this phase, the development team actually analyzes all the requirements that are submitted to them by the client if these requirements are feasible or valid. They also figure out how to implement all these requirements using suitable tools and technologies. In the end, they design the architecture of the whole software application that has to be developed by them in accordance with the requirements.

Implementation: In this phase, the development or the coding of the software application actually starts using suitable tools and techniques. All the functional components are developed or coded and then they are integrated into a single software application prototype.

Testing: In this phase, the software application is tested for any bugs or defects, if any bugs or defects are detected by the application development team, then they are fixed by the software testing team by implementing the right kind of code.

Deployment: In this phase, the Covid-19 software application is actually deployed in the real-world environment or it is delivered to the client for its usage in real-time situations.

Maintenance: Once the deployment is done, the software application has started to function in the real-time business case scenario, and if any bugs or defects are reported now by the users or the clients, then the maintenance and support team would be responsible for fixing that particular bug or the defect within the application. If any functionality has to be added to the software application then also the maintenance and support team would be responsible for integrating those changes.
