Comparing the Guide to the PMBOK s Process Groups with the SDLC Phases


Comparing the Guide to the PMBOK' s Process Groups with the SDLC Phases

In Table A.1, we've provided you with a chart that may help you understand the close parallels between the Guide to the PMBOK process groups and the SDLC phases. IT projects have a unique character all their own-we're not building a battleship or a skyscraper-and so it's important to understand SDLC in order to help shape and bring about an excellent system deployment. However, A Guide to the PMBOK 's process groups provide a wonderful project management framework in which to work, so it's quite important to understand how the two juxtapose.
