Full Life Cycle?
In the search for a job that actually involves a paycheck, I keep hearing people speak of full life cycle development. What exactly does that mean other than Marketing; Design; Implementation; Testing; Documentation; and Customer Support?

That's it
The usually mean requirements to delivery with round tripping.

here you go
vp marketing hears a customer brain fart
rushes to product management
product management decides idea is aligned with company goals and current offerings
PM gets some preliminary budget dollars to get appropriate design team involved
design team comes up with rough requirements to completion and preliminary costs
(1 monkey 1 year 20 monkeys 6 weeks) and some preliminary hardware/network costs
business decides to either ashcan it or fund the project
once funding is approved hard numbers and deadlines are sought from the development team
funding approved development hires/assigns/contracts workers and develops timeline and budget metrics
with several business driven go/no go points in the timeline
product is developed tested qa delivered as a proof of concept for bakeoff with documentation support and customer service getting involved between test and qa.
product goes into ga
maintenance releases/upgrades
software is deadlined
no support is offered
sometimes all of the above can be one or 2 people but that is the process.
thanx,
bill

Re: Full Life Cycle?
I think this refers to Software Development Life Cycle:
1. System/Information Engineering and Modeling
2. Software Requirements Analysis
3. Systems Analysis and Design
4. Code Generation
5. Testing
6. Maintenance
Or maybe Project Life Cycle:
1. Initiation
2. Planning
3. Execute
4. Monitor and Control
5. Change Management
6. Closure

Re: Full Life Cycle?
Something like this?
Exhuberance
Panic
Disillusionment
Search for the Guilty
Punishment of the Innocent
Praise and Honors for the Non-Participants

Now now ... no fair rushing step 3
Besides, there's another option:
Exhuberance
Disillusionment
Death March
Update of the Resume
Crushing Responsibility for the Competent
Scope Reduction
Pulling the Plug
Promotion for Those Left Standing

What a rich and scintillating world it is -
being paid to create ever-New! 'process' descriptions, to sound even more authoritative: at the inquest for each Stupid Idea at-the-outset.
I take it that this work is as not as well paid as that of the Minimalists -?-

Dunno the rates, but best new logo I've seen recently is...
...Ms Klein's "No Logo" one.
Talk about yer ironies there...
Wonder if that was intentional, BTW?

I suppose we must become steel-y, should 'irony' itself
next meet the fate of innovation (and now. even. We Are Passionate about Accounting!).
Cannot imagine if either example could sound quite as Icky in Finnish (?)
(Or be lawful to speak, even?)

Unfortunately, woe is us, that's all quite common here too.
