Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC)

Many related activities occur in a complex process; these activties must align with each other, have pertinence and value to the ultimate objective, and align with appropriate levels of information available at each step - and not insignificantly, make sense with approals in the governance process.

Often these steps are out-of-sync with reality, or simply need to row to new levels of challenge or complexity in a growing organization.

SIBRIDGE helps addrss challenges in the SDLC by organizing these related activities into different frameworks. A framework simplifies the complex process into appropriate contexts, linking each level of abstraction with a larger level above. For instance, a typical development process will include activities associated with developing the capability itself, project managing the activities associated with a specific project and governance to assure project manifests are achieved. 

SIBRIDGE leads and supports implementation and improvement of development processes.  We identify, customize, and integrate the frameworks relevant to our clients' unique environments, identifying gaps in processes, methods and governance. We extend the process definition down to the level where it can be deployed, and support implementation through training and by mentoring through participation within specific projects.

SIBRIDGE brings strong methodological support for the IT system development process, helping our clients understand the different methodologies and select the appropriate approach to specific projects. Clearly the development associated with a SAP implementation is significantly different than a Web project. The methodological approach to each should be different.
