Why our SDLC radically outperforms Home grown SDLCs
Systems Thinking vs. Analytical Thinking
Most in-house SDLCs are stitched together by engineers and architects who excel at analytical thinking. But analytical thinking is disastrous when designing a techno-social system like the Software Development Lifecycle. At SDLC.works, we rethink SDLCs from the ground up using Systems Thinking—training your teams to think systemically so your SDLC isn't a static document but a living, adaptive system.
