Explore renowned SDLC methods, including Waterfall and Agile models in software development to design, develop, and maintain high-quality software.

Computer Science Bootcamp

Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) is a systematic approach followed in software development to design, develop, and maintain high-quality software. It is essential to understand various SDLC frameworks as they provide structured methodologies that help manage software projects efficiently, ensuring better planning, development, and delivery of software solutions. Some renowned SDLC methods include the Waterfall model, Agile methodology, Scrum, and others. In this module, we’ll start with the fundamentals and explore Waterfall and Agile approaches. We’ll then cover the short iterations, effective collaboration techniques, and essential project roles. Additionally, we’ll learn Agile requirements, estimation, planning, and implementation in various contexts. By the end of this module, we’ll acquire the required knowledge to choose the most appropriate process model to lead collaborative and efficient software projects using approaches like XP, SCRUM, Smart, and Kanban with proper planning and reviews.
