The Solution Lifecycle Management Framework (SLIM-F) comprises four major stages. These stages lead you from inception to phase out of any Service. The four stages are tied together and overseen by the Governance function (‘Govern’), positioned at the very heart of SLIM-F. ‘Govern’ is about continually improving and quality assuring the way work is done during the four value-focused stages.
The Governance function is about:
- Organisation and processes
- Performance Management
- Human Resource Management
- Continual Service and Process Improvement
- EDP Audit
- Compliance Management
- Business and IT Controls
- Project & Programme Management methods
- Vendor Management
- Quality Assurance
- Financial Management
- Risk Management
