In software engineering, a software development methodology (also known as a system development methodology, software development life cycle, software development process, software process, etc.) is a division of software development work into distinct phases (or stages) containing activities with the intent of better planning and management.

It is often considered a subset of the systems development life cycle.

The methodology may include the pre-definition of specific deliverables and artifacts that are created and completed by a project team to develop or maintain an application.

Common methodologies include:

  • Waterfall
  • Agile
  • Prototyping
  • Iterative and incremental development
  • Spiral development
  • Rapid application development
  • Extreme programming

Some people consider a life-cycle "model" a more general term for a category of methodologies and a software development "process" a more specific term to refer to a specific process chosen by a specific organization. For example, there are many specific software development processes that fit the spiral life-cycle model.
