A resident of Charlotte, North Carolina, Dinesh Nair has experience as a systems analyst lead and a software architect. In addition to his current work at Data Says LLC in Charlotte, Dinesh Nair has prior experience at Fintech, where he managed projects through the software development life cycle.
The software development life cycle, or SLDC, is a structured order of phases that provide a management framework for the implementation and operation of software programs. SLDC elements vary across business sectors, but they often include phases such as training, design, construction, testing, release, and response. In addition, the entire process can be implemented through either an agile or waterfall approach.
The waterfall approach to SLDC implementation is a traditional model. Prior to implementing a software project, a clear set of requirements and a detailed project plan are put in place. Under an agile approach, implementation is flexible and can be adjusted in real time to respond to changing business needs and circumstances. Agile approaches are not as structured as waterfall approaches, making them suitable for software that is updated on a regular basis.
