Most Popular Software Development Models | BairesDev

As anyone who has ever tackled a software development project can tell you, building digital solutions implies going through a complex process. That process has different stages that cover everything from the idea and design of the software to its release and maintenance. Development teams refer to that process as software development life cycle (SDLC).

Perhaps you know it, perhaps you don’t, but there are plenty of ways in which a team can tackle the SDLC. In fact, we talk about different software development models depending on how the team organizes the stages and how it approaches the workflow. There are more than 50 SDLC models in use today, each and every one with its own way to arrange the development process.
