MDSC 6005 Week 5 Assignment Rubric
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGIES
The systems development life cycle (SDLC) is the traditional approach used by organizations to plan large IT projects, such as IT infrastructure. The SDLC is a structured framework that consists of sequential processes by which information systems are developed. Whether companies use a structured method, such as the traditional waterfall approach, or more agile methods, all development projects start with defining the requirements and design before building the system components.
