SDLC – Sofware Development Lifecycle is a bottom-up framework for developing Sofware, i.e. from requirements gathering through design, development, testing deployment and maintenance.
Since most products risks lay in the translation of market demands into requirements, and the translation of the requirements into features, PDLC (Product Development Life Cycle) was created as a farmwork that wraps around SDLC and adds:
1. Idea generation & market research, to the requirements definition to reduce the first risk.
2. A/B testing, POC, customer success KPIs, and other verification methods to verify fitment of features to customers’ demands to reduce the second risk.
Both methods are part of an ongoing trend that was called Concurrent Engineering years ago, in the interdisciplinary industry, but why not use 4 letters acronyms instead?
