Description of flowchart image: Each request to create or retrofit an integration is treated as a formal project request.  This flow chart outlines the typical life cycle of each project which involves: Request intake via TD Ticket, data owner approval, functional/technical analysis of specification documents, and specification approval.  Once approval is granted, the actual integration creation/update work begins which includes:  Development, data validation/testing, sign-off, and move to production.
