Release of SimpleOne SDLC 1.0.0
We are pleased to announce the first release of the SDLC (Software Development Lifecycle) application on the SimpleOne platform. The application enables easy management of product and project lifecycles: selecting the optimal development methodology (Scrum or Kanban), creating products, and decomposing them into modules. The application’s interface will be intuitive for any IT specialist and allow the use of familiar tools to solve typical tasks.
The SDLC application will enhance development efficiency by adopting the Agile methodology that suits your needs, ensure transparency in the development process, and optimize resource allocation. It allows adding tasks of various types to Scrum/Kanban boards to track development progress and perform releases upon completion of each stage.
