    The Enhancement of the SDLC Methodology utilised in the Delivery of Digital Healthcare Products
    (University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, 2024) Asamoah-Bekoe, Michael; Sunjka, Bernadette
    The digital healthcare industry has experienced significant growth in recent years, resulting in increased competition among companies operating in this market. Company X, a competitor in this industry, utilises a mixed set of methodologies across their teams, where some methodologies may be outdated. With the emergence of new software development lifecycle methodologies (SDLC), it is crucial for Company X to adapt their current approach to remain competitive. As part of a research study, 24 participants from various teams in Company X were interviewed to gain insights into the industry, the current methodology being used, and how management could ensure a smooth transition to a new SDLC methodology. According to the study results, 21% of participants from Team A-D were unwilling to change their current methodology, while 37% were willing to make a switch. The remaining 42% were indifferent, with their decision depending on the reason for the transition. Based on the literature review and the findings from the study, a conceptual framework was developed to guide the process of transitioning to a new SDLC methodology.
