I'm rubber, you're glue........


To state the obvious - IT's job is moving from development to integration. No longer is the 'build from scratch.....' mentality directing most projects and IT is REALLY moving to a reuse phase (...and I'm not talking about copy and past....) - either internal or (most likely) external components, services, open source, etc. Based on this - do we need to rethink - IN DEPTH - the standard Project Management Life Cycle (PMLC) and Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)???? Most likely - phases to deal with researching components/services will need to be added as part of the requirements as well as part-of/or-prior to design. This will impact approach, cost, testing AND POST-LIVE SUPPORT! The glue that holds the components/services is the key focus for internal development - but the components/services are the key focus for the PM's and designers....a bit different then having all focus on the development....
