The Support Phase is crucial in software development, encompassing three primary activities: maintaining the system, enhancing the system, and supporting the users. Unlike traditional Waterfall models, newer adaptive SDLCs view the support phase as a separate endeavor requiring its own methodology. This phase ensures that the system remains functional and relevant, while user support—primarily through help desks—provides timely assistance from knowledgeable technicians to resolve issues and improve productivity. Understanding this phase is vital for comprehensive project management.
