Our Story

SDLC.works was founded on a simple question: If technologists believe technology can solve every problem in the world, why do they still struggle with productivity, quality, and engineering effectiveness in the very SDLC systems they design, manage, and operate?

Our exploration led to a key insight — the absence of Systems Thinking. Most technologists are excellent analytical thinkers, which makes them great at designing technological systems. However, the Software Development Life Cycle isn't purely a technological system; it's a techno-social system. It requires Systems Thinking to effectively design, manage, and evolve.

Since then, our founder, Manish Jain, has dedicated himself to teaching Systems Thinking to technologists and building SDLC frameworks grounded in its principles. SDLC.works now applies these same principles to help startups and established companies transform their SDLC practices for sustainable success.

"Manish Jain is an Applied Organizational Theorist driven by one haunting question: Why do people design systems in which they themselves suffer? His search for answers revealed a shocking truth: while every methodology sold to corporations is based on Systems Thinking, everyone sells methodology but not the thinking that should go along with it."
