Information Technology Solution Development Lifecycle Guide September 2005 OFFICE OF THE CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER IT Solution Development Lifecycle Guide Version 1.0 September 2005 Version Control Log Date Version # Author Description 9/15/2005 1 OCIO/PMD Original version Updates to this document: The Department of the Interior (DOI) recognizes that the SDLC process and this Guide are going through continuous change and process improvement. Changes and improvements to the SDLC process and this Guide come from their interdependence on other processes and best practices, including Interior’s change control management (CCM) process, project management process (and best practices) and an integrated life cycle process. As Interior matures, the SDLC process and the other interdependent processes will become better defined and aligned. If you would like to make a suggestion for enhancement, please send an email or written memo to the OCIO PMD. Please be very specific with your recommendation and include the section, paragraph and page number in your note. For further information on IT investment management or DOI’s CPIC process, please contact the Chief of the Portfolio Management Division (PMD), in the OCIO at either (202) 208‐4109 or email OCIO CPIC Working Team at [email protected].
