SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE
The systems development life cycle (SDLC) is a project management model that defines the stages involved in bringing a software project from inception to completion. Software development teams, for example, deploy a variety of SDLC models that include waterfall, spiral and agile processes. Each of these life cycles has its strengths and weaknesses.
