It is generally known that software system development
lifecycle (SSDL) should be managed adequately. The global
economy crisis and subsequent depression have taught us
certain lessons on the subject, which is so vital for enterprises.
The paper presents the adaptive methodology of enterprise
SSDL, which allows to avoid "local crises" while producing
large-scale software. The methodology is based on extracting
common ERP module level patterns and applying them to
series of heterogeneous implementations. The approach
includes a lifecycle model, which extends conventional spiral
model by formal data representation/management models and
DSL-based "low-level" CASE tools supporting the formalisms.
The methodology has been successfully implemented as a
series of portal-based ERP systems in ITERA oil-and-gas
corporation, and in a number of trading/banking enterprise
applications for other enterprises. Semantic network-based
airline dispatch system, and a 6D-model-driven nuclear power
plant construction support system are currently in progress.
Combining various SSDL models is discussed. Terms-and-cost
reduction factors are examined. Correcting SSDL according to
project size and scope is overviewed. The so-called “human
factor errors” resulting from non-systematic SSDL approach,
and their influencing crisis and depression, are analyzed. The
ways to systematic and efficient SSDL are outlined.
Troubleshooting advises are given for the problems concerned.
