Development based on the Spiral Lifecycle
The Cyberitas development methodology is based on the Spiral Lifecycle, The spiral method is explained in detail below, but basically it is a "best practices" methodoloogy that works well for both custom development projects and integration projects involving client systems. This approach also helps ensure our projects remain in scope and budget and on time.
