The document provides an overview of software development methodologies. It defines the software development lifecycle (SDLC) as a systematic process for planning, creating, testing, deploying and maintaining software. Common SDLC phases include planning, requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing and deployment. It then defines software development methodologies as structured approaches that can improve efficiency, quality and collaboration. Example methodologies discussed include waterfall, agile (scrum and kanban), prototyping (spiral model), rapid application development, and iterative and incremental processes. The waterfall model is described as a traditional linear approach, while agile values flexibility, collaboration and customer satisfaction.

4. The Software Development Lifecycle
(SDLC) is a systematic process for
planning, creating, testing, deploying, and
maintaining software applications or
systems. It provides a framework for
software development teams to follow and
ensures that the development process is
well-organized, controlled, and
predictable. The specific phases and
activities within the SDLC can vary based
on the development methodology being
used, but the following are common
phases in most SDLC models:

8. What are Software Development Methodoloies
• Software development methodologies are structured approaches to a
software development project that can improve efficiency, quality,
and collaboration.
• They are important because they help developers plan, organize,
execute, and deliver software products that meet the needs and
expectations of the clients and users.
• They also improve efficiency, quality, and collaboration in the software
development process.

5. Iterative and Incremental Process Model

10. Overview of Software Developmet Methodologies
This is a traditional and linear
methodology that follows a
sequential order of phases, such as
requirements, design,
implementation, testing, and
maintenance. Each phase depends
on the completion and approval of
the previous one. This methodology
is suitable for well-defined and stable
projects, but not for dynamic and
complex ones.
Waterfall Model

11. Pros and Cons of the Waterfall Model.
• Requirement is clear before development starts
• Each phase is completed in specified period of time after that it moves to the
next phase
• As it’s a linear model, its easier to implement.
• The amount of resources required to implement this model are minimal
• Each phase proper documentation is followed for the quality of development.
Pros
Cons
• The problems with one phase are never completely solved during that phase
and in fact many problems regarding a particular phase arise after the phase is
signed off, this results in badly structured system.
• If client want the requirements to be changed, it will not be implemented in the
current development process.
In spite of the cons, the many pros of this model ensure that it remains one of the
most popular models used in the field of software development.

is
Agile?
Agile

13. Agile Model: Scrum, Kanban, XP:
This is a methodology that values flexibility,
collaboration, and customer satisfaction. The agile
model is based on the principles of the Agile
Manifesto, which emphasize adaptive planning,
iterative development, continuous improvement, and
stakeholder involvement. The agile model has several
frameworks, such as Scrum, Kanban, and XP, that
provide specific practices and roles for implementing
the agile principles. The agile model is suitable for
projects that have changing and evolving
requirements and need frequent feedback and
delivery.

17. OSDM Continued
This is a methodology that combines the
iterative and incremental approach with the risk
analysis and evaluation of the waterfall model.
The software development process is
represented as a spiral, with each loop
consisting of four stages: planning, risk analysis,
engineering, and evaluation. The spiral model is
suitable for large and complex projects that
involve high risks and uncertainties.

Rapid Application
Development Model:
This is a methodology that focuses on
delivering software products and
features quickly and efficiently, using
techniques such as prototyping,
timeboxing, and user involvement.
The software development process
consists of four phases: requirements
planning, user design, construction,
and cutover. The rapid application
development model is suitable for
projects that have clear and well-
defined requirements and need fast
delivery.

19. Iterative and Incremental Process Model
Follow the link below to understand more about the methodologies. For more info, click here
This is a methodology that
divides the software development
process into smaller and
manageable iterations, each of
which produces a working version
of the software. The iterations are
repeated until the final product
meets the desired requirements
and quality. This methodology
allows for feedback, changes,
and improvements along the way.

20. Summary
SDLC
SDM
Agile
SDLC
SDLC is a general term that describes the
process of creating software,,
SDM
while software development methodology
is a specific way of implementing the
SDLC.
Agile
There are different types of software
development methodologies, such as
waterfall, agile, scrum, and so on. Each
methodology has its own advantages and
disadvantages, depending on the nature
and scope of the project.
