The software development life cycle (SDLC) is a software product or service's stages, from early innovation to implementation and deployment, and sometimes decline. Agile is an approach to software life-cycle management that emphasises continuous collaboration and improvement.

 

Business, product leaders, and software teams use integrated practices, processes, and tools that require visibility to enable high-level and low-level decision-making—governance.  

What is software development
life-cycle management?

What our consultants do

We have experience in Agile software lifecycle management transformations. Agile enables many awesome things, including short planning cycles that help companies and teams experiment, build, test and pivot to get early feedback and address emerging needs.

If you are new to Agile or have outgrown your current processes and want some support, we can look at your software lifecycle process, maturity, decision-making, and governance process.
