  2. What is the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)? The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a structured process that guides software development teams through distinct phases to create high-quality, cost-effective, and secure software. Why is SDLC important? SDLC provides a clear roadmap, reduces risks, and ensures that software meets customer requirements, is delivered on time, and stays within budget. www.elightwalk.com

  3. Why SDLC Methodologies Matter SDLC Methodologies are essential for structuring and managing the Software Development Life Cycle. They help teams plan, organize, and control the process from planning to deployment. SDLC Methodologies have evolved to address changing project needs, improve collaboration, and boost software quality. www.elightwalk.com

  4. Traditional SDLC Methodologies Waterfall Model: The Waterfall model represents a classic Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) methodology that follows a linear, sequential approach. Each team must complete a phase before starting the next one. Strengths: Simple, easy to manage, well-defined stages. Weaknesses: Inflexible to changes, late feedback, higher risk for large or complex projects. Note: Traditional SDLC Methodologies like Waterfall are less common today due to their rigidity. www.elightwalk.com

  5. The Shift to Agile SDLC Methodologies What is Agile? Agile is a flexible, iterative SDLC methodology that emphasizes collaboration, customer feedback, and rapid delivery of working software. Why Agile? Adapts quickly to changing requirements. Encourages continuous improvement and frequent releases. Improves customer satisfaction through regular involvement. Popular Agile SDLC Methodologies: Scrum Kanban www.elightwalk.com

  6. Agile SDLC Methodologies in Detail Scrum: Roles: Product Owner, Scrum Master, Development Team. Work is divided into Sprints (2-4 weeks). Daily stand-ups to track improvement and resolve issues. Kanban: Visual workflow management using boards and cards. Focuses on continuous delivery without fixed iterations. Limit work in progress to enhance flow and efficiency. www.elightwalk.com

  7. Other SDLC Methodologies Iterative Model: Develops software in small, repeated cycles, refining with each iteration. Lean, Spiral, DevOps: Individually offers unique methods to the SDLC, focusing on efficiency, risk management, or integration between development and operations. www.elightwalk.com

  8. Choosing the Right SDLC Methodology Consider these factors when selecting an SDLC Methodology: Project size and complexity Team experience and skills Customer involvement and feedback frequency Flexibility needed for changes Key point: No single SDLC Methodologies fits all projects. Adapt your choice to your project’s specific needs. www.elightwalk.com

  9. Summary & Takeaways The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is crucial for organized and efficient software development. Modern SDLC Methodologies like Agile offer flexibility and customer focus. The SDLC landscape is evolving—stay adaptable and choose the right methodology for your needs. www.elightwalk.com
