Software Development Methodologies:

1. Continuously Improve Software Quality by treating Software Engineering as a discipline; by focusing on software development process improvement; and by using effective, new tool sets and automation techniques.
   
   
2. Leveraging component-based architectures, which segment volatile business requirements from static infrastructure, business entities, and operations, allows adaptation of existing solutions to new problems..
   
   
3. Use of "iterative development", when appropriate, to minimize project risks and maximize timely release of most critical functionality.
   
   
4. Continuously improve quality software delivery by implementing effective project estimation, planning and management.
   
   
5. Continuously improve Software Engineering staff skills by striking a balance between role generalization and technical specialization, and on-going Professional Development
