System Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

The System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a structured process used to develop software and systems. It typically includes several key phases: planning, where goals are set; analysis, to gather requirements; design, to outline how the system will work; implementation, where the software is built; testing, to ensure it functions correctly; and maintenance, for ongoing support and updates. This cycle helps organizations create effective and efficient systems, ensuring that the final product meets users' needs and is delivered on time and within budget.
