Subject:Fw: Life Cycle PLanning From:Suzy -dot- Davis -at- doi -dot- vic -dot- gov -dot- au To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Fri, 10 Dec 2004 11:21:50 +1100
Hi Jess
I assume this is an IT contracting role, and if so, they are referring to
the Software Development Life Cycle. If not IT, could be product
development life cycle.
Which is usually, in brief (and I'm sure glad that if I've forgotten
something someone will set it right!):
1. Write Proposal/Repond to RFI/RFP (win business)
2. Define requirements
3. Design architecture
4. Develop software and start user documentation
5. Test software and user documentation
6. Finalise software and documentation
7. Deploy
8. Provide ongoing system maintenance/support
A technical writer could be required at any of these stages depending on
the documentation system or user.
regards
Suzy
