Evolve Your Software Development Lifecycle Into a Solution Delivery Lifecycle
It’s "solution delivery," not "software development."
Book This Workshop
Not having a documented and formal Solution DLC causes:
- Misalignment between business and technology groups.
- Ineffective use of resources as documentation is insufficient.
- Teams are continually in emergency mode responding to challenges as opposed to being proactive.
Having a documented and formal Solution DLC enables:
- A deeper partnership between Business and IT as there will be more alignment on requirements and needs.
- An empowered team that proactively solves challenges that matter to the organization.
- An improved ability to deliver on more complicated, multi-dimensional solutions.
