Over time, we get so involved in tasks, bugs, and sprints that we often stop noticing the full structure guiding software delivery.
I recently took a step back to revisit the entire SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) — and it helped me reconnect the dots between process and purpose.
🔹 Waterfall taught us structure, but it’s rigid
🔹 Agile embraces feedback, flexibility, and speed
🔹 Phases like requirements analysis, design, development, testing, and maintenance may seem obvious — but each one has critical value
Working with JIRA, I’ve used sprints, scrums, and story points — but now I see them as more than task tracking tools. They’re about alignment, velocity, and shared ownership.
Whether you're coding or leading, understanding SDLC isn’t optional — it’s what separates developers from delivery contributors.
