Latest SDLC @ IT services companies

After long deliberation's with a lot of member's of Solution group's, COE's (Center Of Excellence), Technology Group's & simple plain o'l Bench ppl, I have come to the conclution that the following four point's form the NEW SDLC @ the so called big IT services companies.

Requirement Definition
1· We r going to get this project ...(We have just started preparing proposals)

High Level Design
2· Please familiarize urself with tool X. Project Y may come anytime (Its been a week since proposal was sent and v r waiting to hear from the client).

Low Level Design
3· In addition to tool X also familiarize urself with tool Y and this will be a parallel activity (Signs indicate that the Client is least interested in u)

Construction/Coding
4· Now that u have learnt the tools lets build some reusable components that would help us save time and cost in future projects (Dream of getting a project remains a dream.Project goes to company Z)

Some of you may disagree if you do I woul love to hear what you have to say
