Software Development Life Cycle

The software development life cycle (SDLC) is a conceptual framework that outlines the stages and processes involved in the development of a software system. A typical software development project can take anywhere from a few months to several years to complete. The Waterfall model is a linear approach to software development, while Agile development emphasizes flexibility and iterative development. The SDLC has led to the development of various software development methodologies and frameworks, such as Scrum and Kanban, and has been adopted by a wide range of industries, from finance to healthcare.
