PROPOSED SILMS 6.0
”Once upon a time, software development consisted of
a programmer writing code to solve a problem or
automate a procedure. Nowadays, systems are so big
and complex that teams of architects, analysts,
programmers, testers and users must work together to
create the millions of lines of custom-written code
that drive our enterprises.” - Computerworld
