KEY FEATURES Ready-Made and Ready-to-Use Comprehensive and Complete Implementation Guidance Tooling Guidance Roles and Responsibilities Easily Customizable Gap Analysis Concise, Simple and Practical Our content experts have developed a comprehensive IT best practices encapsulated standard software development value-stream template. For those projects that are not suitable for Agile, we have also developed a standard (waterfall) software development life cycle (SDLC) value stream document. This is a more sequential process that includes a series of steps (phases) that determine the business requirements and design, build, and deliver a working software solution to satisfy customer need  in terms of utility and warranty. Value stream includes contributions (most valuable activities) from multiple processes, including activities, skills and competencies, information and automation, tools needed and the required supplier and partner relationships. The standard software development value stream includes the most valuable activities from processes such as business analysis, solution architecture, design, testing, change enablement, release and deployment management, etc. All our value stream documents are easy to customize and contain the seventeen sections essential for any value-stream documentation.
