Description
Summary:This paper describes a life cycle model for method management, using existing published models for software life cycles as a basis. A direct analogy is drawn between the processes in method life cycles and those established for software development, and the constituent parts of the processes that occur in the method life cycle are explored in some detail. It is concluded that a life cycle model can usefully be applied to method management and the main principles are summarised. An example is included to illustrate how life cycle principles can be applied to a real situation.
