SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT

  • Requirements definition
  • Project structure
  • Configuration management
  • Enterprise application implementation
  • Program/Portfolio management
  • Rapid Turnaround
  • Solution strategy - product/project integration

Keys to Success:

Software development must be approached from a broader perspective than just the application or “project” standpoint. There are at least three key factors that are frequently overlooked but must be considered In order to select the appropriate methodology to successfully execute the development effort: 1. What are the product requirements (lifecycle costs, integration, audience, etc)? 2. What is the environment (available resources, stakeholder engagement, outside influences, etc)? 3. What are the business goals (ROI, breakeven demands, intended use, etc)? Once these factors are clearly understood, a model for development can be selected and/or modified to position development for success.

Why Virtuoso?

Our experience with a wide variety of development and Implementation projects has resulted in understanding what project models will allow a product to thrive. In addition to the traditional defined models from Waterfall through Agile, as the situation demanded it, Virtuoso created new approaches. Implementing these models through a variety of project management techniques, from traditional through Extreme PM, uniquely qualifies Virtuoso to plan, execute and manage virtually any SDLC development effort. Combine this project expertise with Virtuoso’s critical business focus and the resulting execution strategy keeps all objectives (schedule, budget, product…) to the forefront.
Why Is It Important?
Greater than 90% of software projects either do not meet the intended objectives, or fail outright due to inadequate or incorrect development methods. Engaging the correct SDLC model vastly improves both success and value of the end product.
