Farmers’ Market You are the new manager for a group of organic farmers who have a weekly market in season. The market needs to build, customize, or purchase an information system to meet its needs. The information system should allow the market’s vendors to enter information about current products, including quantities, dates of availability, and other characteristics, such as information regarding the use of pesticides or other products during the growing process. The board of directors asks you to determine what occurs during the planning phase. Using information learned in the chapter as well as performing research on the web, prepare information about the planning phase of the SDLC.
