Description

When developing applications in small medium business (SMB) IT environments it is all very easy to just get on with the coding without putting into place any development or project plans. After all those system development life cycle methodologies are only for the large scale development projects that take years and cost millions in cash. We don’t have time or any need for all that planning and documentation as the deadline is tight enough as it is. So let’s just get on with it!

Is it little wonder most IT software development projects fail miserably or do not meet their requirements? In this document we will show you how to apply standard SDLC and Project Management techniques so that your IT software development projects will succeed.
