So sorry, that was auto correct on the phone. I meant SDLC, the software development life cycle, and most probably the Project management methodology. The symptoms you describe are synonymous with a disjointed organization that lacks good processes and communication. You are correct to bring it up to management and definitely YOU are not the problem.
