Introduction

Our team's portfolio requires us to work on software and integration projects at multiple (and overlapping) phases of a non-linear project lifecycle - documenting and implementing changes, for example, may be an iterative state for some time; retirement and migration typically overlap substantial portions of a successor project's early phases. The project phases described here are referenced in our job descriptions as "the software development lifecycle".

Lifecycle Phases of a Project

• Document requirements

• Design solution

• Implement changes

• Test, collect feedback, and verify changes

• Release

• Document change requests

• Patch & maintain

• Identify End-of-Support/End-of-Life (EOS/EOL) conditions

• Migrate data & retire/replace
