About SDLC
Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a systematic process for planning, creating, testing,
and deploying software applications. It provides a structured approach to software development,
ensuring high quality and efficient project management. The main stages of SDLC typically
include:
Waterfall Model:
o A linear and sequential approach where each phase must be completed before
moving to the next.
o Phases: Requirements → Design → Implementa on → Tes ng → Deployment →
Maintenance.
o Advantages: Simple to understand and manage; clear milestones.
o Disadvantages: Inflexible to changes; not suitable for complex projects.
Agile Model:
o An iterative and incremental approach that emphasizes flexibility and customer
collaboration.
o Work is divided into small, manageable units called iterations or sprints, typically
lasting 1-4 weeks.
o Focuses on delivering small, functional pieces of the software quickly.
o Advantages: Adaptable to changes; encourages stakeholder feedback; promotes
collaboration.
o Disadvantages: Requires constant communication; can lead to scope creep if not
managed well.
3. Your Project Following Which Model (Agile Model)
If your project follows the Agile model, it means you employed an iterative approach to
development, focusing on collaboration and flexibility. Key aspects of Agile in your project may
include:
This model helps ensure that the final product better meets user needs and can adapt to changes
in the market or project requirements.
