Software development teams use lifecycle management
processes to describe the tasks associated with and to control software
application development. This enables an
understanding of the development process between all stakeholders and
participants. It facilitates better
communication about the project and what is required from each person and
reduces the risk of delivering software unacceptable to relevant stakeholders.
It is likely that red
uction in costs, reduction in
the length of time to delivery and the acceptability of the end product can be
gained by improving the current process.
Development process improvement bares a resemblance to software
application projects in that they both require the support of senior
management, should be planned and monitored, have clearly identified
deliverables, manage risks, be staffed by people who have change management
experience and have experienced people hold responsibility for their
success. For more info please visit here : http://www.rowallansoftware.com
