What is SDLC?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SDLC is a structured approach that guides the entire software development process from inception to deployment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It helps ensure efficiency, quality, and successful project outcomes. By breaking down the software development process into distinct phases, SDLC provides a roadmap for developers, project managers, and stakeholders to collaborate harmoniously, allowing the team to create reliable and innovative software products.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"why-is-the-sdlc-important\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why is the SDLC important?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Software development is always a balance between time and resources. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without proper planning and prioritizing, it\u2019s easy to waste a lot of both! This means a lot of money lost for the company, unhappy customers, and frustrated employees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To put it another way, imagine setting off on a journey without a map or any idea where you&#8217;re headed. That&#8217;s where SDLC comes in\u2014<strong>SDLC is the map<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SDLC helps plan things carefully and ensures software projects stay on track. It also makes sure everyone involved knows what&#8217;s going on. When people follow the SDLC process, like developers, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/blog\/product-management\/what-does-a-product-manager-do\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">product managers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and clients working together, projects become more organized, risks are minimized, costs are controlled, and the end result is more likely to be reliable, high-quality software.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-7-phases-of-sdlc\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. What are the 7 phases of SDLC?<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"planning-and-brainstorming\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phase 1: Planning and brainstorming<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first phase in the software development life cycle is, unsurprisingly, planning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This phase involves determining the project scope, goals, and requirements together as a team. Planning also includes creating a timeline, allocating resources, and outlining potential risks to the project\u2019s success.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"requirements\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phase 2: Requirements<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you have some ideas, this phase involves really digging into the project\u2019s requirements. By the end of this stage, you should have a clear idea of your functional and non-functional requirements. Here\u2019s an example of some requirements:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Functional requirements<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The website should allow users to browse products by category, search for specific items, and add them to their shopping cart.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The checkout process should be streamlined and intuitive, minimizing the number of steps required for a user to complete a purchase.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Non-functional requirements<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The website should be responsive and provide a consistent user experience across different devices and screen sizes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The website should be able to handle a minimum of 1000 concurrent users without significant performance degradation, especially during peak shopping seasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"design\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phase 3: Design<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you know what the program or feature should do, it\u2019s time to get visual.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During this phase, the software&#8217;s architecture, user interface, and system components are designed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The goal is to create a blueprint that developers can follow to build the actual software. Here tools like Figma or Adobe InVision might be used.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"implementation\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phase 4: Implementation<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only after we\u2019ve thoroughly thought about what the software should do and how it should look, do we write any code!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also known as coding or development, this phase involves turning the design into working code. Developers write the actual software using programming languages and tools.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"testing\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phase 5: Testing<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this phase the software will undergo testing to make sure it&#8217;s free of errors and bugs before it reaches production and the user.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This might be manual and\/or automated testing, depending on the QA process of the team. This ensures that the software functions as intended and meets the defined requirements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here we also determine how the new code will integrate into existing systems, software, and processes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"deployment\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phase 6: Deployment<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After thorough testing the software is deployed to real users. The code will be merged to production and released. This phase may also involve marketing the new product or feature so people know about its existence and adding release notes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"maintenance\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phase 7: Maintenance<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final phase of the SDLC involves ongoing maintenance and support for the software.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This includes addressing any issues or bugs that arise, making updates to improve functionality, and ensuring the software remains compatible with evolving technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29039\" src=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/the-waterfall-method-is-the-classic-sdlc-method.jpeg\" alt=\"A team of developers employing the Waterfall SDLC system in a meeting.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/the-waterfall-method-is-the-classic-sdlc-method.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/the-waterfall-method-is-the-classic-sdlc-method-300x150.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/the-waterfall-method-is-the-classic-sdlc-method-1024x512.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/the-waterfall-method-is-the-classic-sdlc-method-768x384.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sdlc-models\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3.
