Your organization has changed since your PLC (Product Life Cycle) was originally developed. It still provides important structure, but in some ways it seems to be undermining your ability to achieve your goals. Construx can help you pinpoint problems with a targeted PLC review. Drawing on reviews with numerous other companies, we cut through the complexities to create an efficient PLC that balances effectiveness with oversight and supports the objectives of all sides of the business.
Questions and Issues
Our PLC originated on the hardware side of our business. As software has grown, it seems to be mismatched to our software organization. What can we do to support all sides of the business?
Our PLC was built when we were a waterfall shop; now we’re using Agile development. How do we reconcile the two?
