LifecycleStep - Project Lifecycle Process

Implement a complete lifecycle methodology for developing and running an IT development project, including analysis, design, construct, test and implement.

Project management defines the overall management and control processes for the project. Project management does not actually result in the project execution.

At some point, you still need to define the actual activities necessary to build the house, execute the marketing campaign, develop the IT business application and upgrade the desktop operating systems. These activities are referred to as the project lifecycle and the project lifecycle is the focus of LifecycleStep.

The Waterfall Lifecycle Model

The place to start when thinking about lifecycle models is the generic waterfall approach which provides the basic outline that can be used on any project:

• Understand the work that is expected
• Design a solution
• Build and test a solution
• Implement the solution

LifecycleStep™ defines the waterfall lifecycle model in detail. The processes, best practices and techniques can be applied generically to any project.

The LifecycleStep Project Lifecycle Process contains everything required to understand and execute the project lifecycle: processes, techniques, best practices, templates, and training. A set of valuable sample schedules are also included as the starting point for the project schedule.
