The document outlines the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), detailing phases such as planning, analysis, design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance. It emphasizes the importance of structured methodologies to enhance product management and communication within development teams, ultimately preventing costly errors. The presentation also highlights that various models exist, including waterfall and agile, to customize SDLC according to an organization's needs.

2. The Software Development Life Cycle includes activities that are not merely strictly technical,
such as process and procedure creation, change management, user experience identification,
policy/procedure development, user impact, and appropriate security processes.
We must define a system before we can understand the idea of the system development life
cycle.
Hardware, software, or a combination of the two is considered a system in information
technology. Every system goes through a development life cycle from the initial planning until
disposition.
To move physical or software-based systems through phases, several techniques offer the essential
framework to direct the complex and complicated process, aiming to prevent expensive errors and
speed up development.

4. What is Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
A software development process in software engineering breaks down software development work
into more minor, parallel, or sequential steps or sub-processes to enhance product management and
design.
It also goes by that name (SDLC) as a software development life cycle. A project team’s creation and
completion of specific deliverables and artifacts to construct or maintain an application may be
included in the methodology.
Development teams use the software development lifecycle (SDLC) as a framework to build
high-quality software in an organized and economical manner.
Both big and small software companies use the Software Development Life Cycle approach.

5. Benefits of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
Software development without a plan is like herding cats. It is unclear to developers what
functionalities to code. The way to gauge progress is a mystery. There is no method for assessing the
finished product.

An adequately specified approach to software
development has the following benefits:
• A common vocabulary for each step
• Defined communication channels between development teams and stakeholders
• Clear roles and responsibilities among developers, designers, business analysts, and project
managers
• Clearly-defined inputs and outputs from one step to the next
• A deterministic “definition of done” can be used to confirm whether a step is genuinely complete.

6. Seven Phases of Software
Development Life Cycle
(SDLC)
The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
framework offers a step-by-step walkthrough of
the stages of putting both a software- and
hardware-based system into operation.
There are many models available, but all of
them embrace a staged iterative framework that
you may customize to your organization’s needs,
whether you’re using the oldest Software
Development Life Cycle (SDLC) method—the
waterfall method—The agile methodology, or a
hybrid of several.

The various stages in Software
Development Life Cycle are,
• Planning Stage
• Feasibility or Requirements of Analysis Stage
• Design and Prototyping Stage
• Software Development Stage
• Software Testing Stage
• Deployment
• Operations and Maintenance Stage

7. All software is developed from an idea through a number of steps before being released.
An application’s or system’s software development life cycle doesn’t end when it’s shut down or
replaced; it keeps going with updates and new features.
Over the years, various techniques for creating software have developed. Despite Agile’s quick ascent,
Waterfall methodologies are still often used.
