- Eliminate business disruptions and disconnects through improved software quality, predictability and performance.
- Reduce total lifecycle costs through enhanced team collaboration and improved productivity through streamlined development, test and maintenance procedures.

User requirements are collected, analyzed and rationalized to ensure that the business needs are optimally met. This step may include prototyping and use-cases before detailed requirements can be established.
|
| |
 |
Requirements are converted into an overarching design for the software, including any "look-and-feel" and required integration between subsystems and with other system components.
|
| |
 |
Developers code and debug the logic for the software and integrate their code modules with other subsystems, as well as modules developed by other project members.
|
| |
 |
The software is "real-world" tested and debugged in operation with the related systems and subsystems. This stage will also test the prodicted performance of the software in the live environment.
|
| |
 |
The software is packaged and prepared for roll-out. This includes not only physical installation and deployment, but also tasks — training, documentation, help procedures, etc. — to prepare and support the intended users.
|
| |
 |
The deployed software is managed for quality, capability and performance. Bugs, user requirements and performance issues must be identified, registered and triaged appropriately — feeding back into the overall lifecycle process.
