2. The Information Development Life Cycle Definition : The Information Development Life Cycle (IDLC) is a systematic process used to create, manage, and maintain information products throughout their lifecycle . It is the time saving process of developing an information document . It has various stages from planning and creation to delivery and eventual retirement of the information. The purpose of IDLC is to ensure the accuracy, relevance, usability of information and a well-defined output for the target audience. IDLC provides a systematic and professional approach . It improves productivity and optimizes results by avoiding repetition of steps.

3. Information Development Life Cycle includes the following major stages: Planning: This is the first stage that involves defining the purpose , scope, and goals of the information product. It includes identifying the target audience , understanding their requirements , and determining the appropriate format and delivery channels. Main Stages of the Information Development Life Cycle

4. Analysis : In this stage, subject matter experts and content creators gather information, conduct research, and analyze the data to understand the content's key points and structure . Design: The design stage involves creating a blueprint or outline for the information product. Content organization, navigation, and user experience are planned to ensure the information is presented in a clear and logical manner . Main Stages of the Information Development Life Cycle

5. Content Creation: The actual content for the information product is written , edited, and reviewed by subject matter experts and technical writers at this stage. Visuals, such as images, diagrams, and multimedia, may also be incorporated to enhance understanding . Review and Validation: After content creation, the content goes through a thorough review process, involving peer review, technical review, and validation against the audience's needs and project requirements. Feedback is also gathered and incorporated to improve the quality of the information . Main Stages of the Information Development Life Cycle

6. Publishing and Delivery: After validating and approving the content, it is formatted and published for delivery through various channels, such as printed documents, websites, online help systems, or mobile applications . Maintenance and Updates : Information products need to be maintained and updated regularly to keep them accurate and relevant. Feedback from users , changes in technology, or updates to products may require content revisions. Retirement: Certain information products may become obsolete with time. In this stage, the content is retired and archived appropriately, ensuring that users can access the most current and relevant information. Thus , the Information Development Life Cycle ensures that information is treated as a valuable asset and is managed strategically to meet the needs of its intended audience.
