System Development at HUD (SDM)

The purpose of this site is to guide you through the HUD System Development Methodology (SDM) process, and provide easy access through the links below to the policies, procedures, and standards required to successfully develop systems at HUD.

Over the years we've put in place a number of policies and procedures for developing Information Technology (IT) systems. In addition, we've established IT infrastucture and System Development platform standards for both IT operations and system development.
