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.

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
