Use Systems Development Life Cycle Methodologies Sample Clauses

Use Systems Development Life Cycle Methodologies. CHFS wishes to allow each potential Vendor to bring to this development effort its industry-best-practice system development methodologies and tailor them to the DMS’s needs. To encourage this and to xxxxxx the adoption of an integrated development approach, CHFS plans to rely on the evaluation of proposal methodologies to see how the deliverables and practices of these methodologies meet industry standard system and software engineering principles. It hopes that by adopting this approach, it should encourage innovation and agility while preserving its desired development outcomes. At a minimum, CHFS is expecting the Vendor’s life cycle development approach to use the CMS Guidance for Exchange and Medicaid Information Technology (IT) Systems v 2.0 and higher. Within the life cycle, CHFS will encourage Vendors to identify items of risk and introduce them as early as possible. The “risk forward” approach may involve development or prototyping of high-risk items as soon as the project starts. CHFS’s goal is to benefit from an iterative or agile-based development approach focused on the delivery of working components generally, while retaining the ability to address high- risk items with a greater level of process discipline when needed. This approach is preferred due to the perceived need to respond and support rapid business changes that are forthcoming. CHFS will require from the Vendor an SDLC that can accommodate all these needs while balancing agility and traditional process discipline.
