Apply contemporary processes to today’s business problems.

Organizations usually define their software development life-cycles based on extensive research into industry best practices and previous project experience. Their intent is to deliver applications that give competitive edge and solve business problems, better, faster and more economically. However, the research necessary to define the life-cycles is enormous and the findings ever changing. This approach is complicated further by the training and mentoring necessary to encourage software developers to apply today's methods of software development.

Select Process Director helps you solve the challenge of researching and rolling out a software development life-cycle process. Select Process Director gives managers more project control and assists developers in being more productive.

You can improve quality while supporting rapid development and easy maintenance. Select Business Solutions(TM) have done the hard work for you by investing more than 25 person years in documenting today's primary software development processes.

Select Process Director is pre-loaded with the following life-cycles:

Waterfall - The classic waterfall software development life-cycle, is perhaps the best understood of all the development life-cycles. Activities are performed sequentially and one activity must be finished before starting the next. The most common sequence being: Analysis, Design, Code and Test. For these reasons, it forms the basis of many contemporary and 'unified' processes.

Staged - Based upon processes such as DSDM (Dynamic Systems Development Method), the system is delivered in discreet usable packets of functionality to the end user. This leads to the customer getting the most important parts of the system more quickly.

Spiral - The spiral development lifecycle uses small iterative, investigative steps at the start of the project to evaluate the problem and the effectiveness of solutions. Risk analysis is a big part of the spiral lifecycle and as the project become better defined and risks are removed the project may use the waterfall lifecycle to finish it off.

Select Perspective - Select Perspective is Select Business Solutions approach to software design and development. Starting in 1994, Select Perspective has evolved as the best practice process for organizational Component Based Development (CBD). This process is founded on Supply-Manage-Consume CBD, UML, object-Orientation and iterative/Incremental software development.
