I Don't Know How Software Is Built? (The 7 "Cooking" Phases)

Think building an app is just "typing code"? Think again. We break down the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) into 7 simple "cooking" phases, from the Menu Planning to the Taste Test, so you know exactly what you're paying for.

I Don't Know How Software Is Built? (The 7 "Cooking" Phases)
To the uninitiated, software development looks like magic. You hire a developer, they type on a keyboard for a few weeks (fueled by caffeine), and poof—an app appears. But when you are the one paying the bill, the mystery turns into anxiety: "I don't know why this is taking so long" or "I don't know why we can't just change the color." Here is the secret: Building software isn't like microwaving a burrito; it's like cooking a seven-course banquet. It follows a strict recipe called the SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle). Here is how the kitchen actually works.
You don't just "cook"; you pick a style.
The SDLC isn't a scary acronym, it's just a common-sense recipe for building great software without the drama. Whether you want a strict "Waterfall" bakery or a fast "Agile" kitchen, IDK Solutions has the chefs to make it happen. We handle the heat so you can stay out of the kitchen.
