Assignment: Short Research Paper
Green Vehicles Inc. (GVI) operates a chain of car dealerships that sell and service electric car models from several manufacturers, including the Chevrolet Spark, Nissan Leaf, BMW i3, and others.

1. What software development process (SDLC) should GVI follow for its inventory management system, and what are the major steps in this process and what methodology would you recommend?
2. What database development process (DBLC) should GVI follow for the inventory database in this system, and what are the major steps in this process?
3. What are some best practices that GVI should observe to help ensure the success of this project?
