Resource Title Modified waterfall SDLC model for power & utilities software development project
Date Issued 03 January 2025
Abstract This paper tackles the software development life cycle (SDLC) phase and different models used in software development projects for large-scale enterprise systems, particularly the Oracle Utilities Customer-to-Meter (C2M) project implementation. Organizations in the Power & Utilities industry that provide utility services such as electricity, water, or gas, acquire the Oracle C2M due to its user-friendly interface with built-in business functionalities relevant to the utility services.

The foundation of this study was built through a collective literature discussion on the comparison of different SDLC models, the transition from a traditional model to an agile model, and the adoption of a hybrid model or tailoring a software life cycle for large-scale systems. The challenges in the organization’s current software process were defined through combined inputs from experienced resources in the software development field. The challenges identified match known issues in the Waterfall SDLC Model, such as missing feedback loops and collaborations, accuracy and completeness of deliverables, and high dependencies of each phase on one another. The survey responses were analyzed by employing the Inductive Reasoning methodology to build a pattern of recognition and form a generic conclusion on the issues.

A modified waterfall model is proposed to incorporate the Double Diamond design process, collaboration strategy, and resource planning. It is tailored to improve the software development life cycle following a defined Key Performance Indicator (KPI) for a desired software quality. A technology roadmap is also crafted to help the organization strategize to achieve the desired software development life cycle process.
