  • Code

  • Integrate

  • Release

    A newer Project Management focused SDP has the following stages.

  • Define

  • Plan

  • Construction

  • Test

  • Deploy

    In addition to the defined stages of SDP, there are many models to follow: Agile, Extreme Programming, Iterative and Waterfall.

  • Agile attempts to minimize risk by developing software in short iterations.

  • Extreme Programming employs simplicity, frequent communication,constant customer feedback and decision empowerment.

  • Iterative development is a cyclical methodology that incorporatesrefactorying into the process.

  • Waterfall software development is a phased methodology. Whenone phase is complete, it moves onto the next phase.
