At Silicus we decide on the Life cycle process to be followed for a project during the initial stages of the engagement. Different project characteristics, attributes and customer needs and priorities will be taken into account before we decide on the SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle).
We do understand the changes in priorities and customer needs for functional requirements of the project, time to market needs and financial constraints. In order to be flexible to meet these needs most of our projects are based on Agile Development. Our people understand the agility of these projects and are groomed to deliver on the same lines. Processes and tools that we deployed cater to take care different agile methodologies.
