Understanding SDLC
The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
is a systematic process used for the development, deployment, and maintenance of software applications. It outlines a framework of tasks and procedures to be followed during the creation and maintenance of software, including stages such as planning, analysis, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
What’s in it for you?
Understanding SDLC is crucial for determining the best engagement model for a project because it helps identify the specific needs, challenges, and objectives at each stage of the software development process. Different engagement models, such as fixed-price, time and materials, or dedicated teams, are suited to different types of projects and client needs.
Finding the Perfect Engagement Model
A fixed-price model is ideal for projects with well-defined scopes, offering straightforward planning and predictable costs. For projects with evolving requirements, a time and materials model provides flexibility to adapt scope and resources. A dedicated team model, suitable for large-scale or ongoing projects, offers a long-term, integrated team working closely with the client to meet dynamic needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
The team extension model offers flexibility, access to specialized skills, and the ability to scale your team based on project needs, enhancing productivity and reducing time-to-market.
Consider team extension when your project requires specialized skills not present in your current team, during peak workloads to avoid hiring full-time staff, or when expanding into new technological areas quickly.
The cost varies based on the skills required, project duration, and location of the extended team. It’s typically more cost-efficient than hiring full-time employees for short-term needs, offering budget flexibility.
Staff augmentation involves hiring external personnel temporarily to supplement the workforce for specific projects or skill gaps, offering flexibility but requiring management oversight. Managed models outsource a project or function to a third party, which then assumes full responsibility for its execution, reducing internal resource burden but potentially offering less control.
