System Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

• Develop shared tools and documentation standards
• Mentor others and contribute to methodology improvements

Strategic Planning & Impact Analysis

• Assess system development impacts across architecture components and business processes
• Conceptualize platform changes due to acquisitions or enterprise-wide implementations
• Integrate system components and conduct risk evaluations
• Apply original thinking to improve methods, processes, and services
• Evaluate ROI of innovative solutions
• Encourage open-mindedness and experimentation
