development projects effectively.
● Types of Models: Various process models exist, including Agile, Waterfall, and V-Model, each
serving distinct needs.
SDLC Overview

● Phases Overview: The Software


Development Life Cycle consists of phases:
requirement analysis, design,
implementation, and maintenance.
● Visual Representation: Modern diagrams
depict iterative processes, facilitating
understanding of interactions between
distinct SDLC phases.
● Collaboration Emphasis: Effective SDLC
diagrams foster team collaboration by clearly
delineating roles and responsibilities during
development.

diagram enhances understanding, making the
Waterfall Model accessible to diverse
stakeholders.
● Key Stages Visualization: Illustrating key
stages fosters comprehension of dependencies,
ensuring informed project management
decisions and strategies.
● Effective Communication Tool: A refined
diagram serves as a communication tool,
aligning team objectives and expectations
throughout development.
V-Model – Overview

● Integrated Development Testing: A modern


software process model harmonizes
development and testing activities, promoting
quality through concurrent iterations.
