System Development Methodology Templates and Checklists
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO CURRENT IT PROJECTS: Effective April 2011, HUD policy established the Project Planning and Management (PPM) Life Cycle, for all IT projects. The PPM Life Cycle replaces HUD's previous System Development Methodology (SDM). Current IT contracts that require projects to follow the SDM will be addressed by the Government Technical Representatives (GTRs) on a case-by-case basis in order to determine how much, if any, of the work can be incorporated into the new PPM Life Cycle. |
To simplify the System Development Methodology (SDM) documentation process, we've provided SDM templates and checklists that are revised and updated to Word 2000 format.
If you have previously downloaded and saved the blank template and checklist documents to your PC or local network drive, please delete them and download the new forms. Any new SDM documents required for your project(s) should be produced (and reviewed) using the new templates and checklists.
