Can you ship it on time?

You’re the project lead for a new customer portal. Make eight decisions across the software development lifecycle and watch budget, schedule, quality and stakeholder trust react. Then get your grade and a debrief.

What you’ll learn

The lifecycle, one decision at a time.

01 · Plan

Discovery beats speed

Goals and success metrics set before code prevent the most expensive rework.

02 · Define

Prioritize ruthlessly

Testable user stories and MoSCoW keep scope negotiable.

03 · Deliver

Feedback early

Sprints, demos and change control turn surprises into decisions.

04 · Operate

Launch is the start

Staged rollouts, monitoring and iteration keep software healthy.
