System Development Life Cycle

The System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a structured process for designing, creating, testing, and maintaining information systems. It guides how software or systems are planned, built, and improved over time to meet business needs. The cycle typically includes stages like analyzing requirements, designing solutions, developing or coding, testing for quality, deploying the system for users, and maintaining or updating it. This systematic approach helps ensure the final product is reliable, effective, and aligned with organizational goals, reducing risks and improving overall project success.
