Developing a Siebel application includes the following stages:
- Discover. Identify and document functional and technical requirements that support the business goals.
- Design. Design the project approach and scope, and incorporate project management controls. For more information, see Documents You Use During the Design Stage.
- Prototype. To develop application screen flows and design layouts, use the requirements from the discovery stage to create a prototype of the solution.
- Configure. Configure the application, extensions, and external interfaces that are required to support the custom Siebel application.
- Validate. Perform a full test of the functionality, including using production data to perform a user acceptance test of the application.
- Deploy. Do the following:
- Perform a production test that tests and revises the custom Siebel application, user training, technical infrastructure, the network, and the help desk.
- Deploy the solution from the testing environment to the production environment.
- Sustain. Evaluate the product and perform continuous improvement. Measure how well the solution meets the business goals.
