Software Release Life Cycles (Activity)

Software Release Life Cycles (Activity) |
|---|---|
| Overview |
This POGIL activity explores how a software release changes over time as it is created, matures, and becomes obsolete. We call this the software release life cycle, because it parallels how animals are born, grow, mature, and die. This is different from (but related to) how the software is developed, which is the software development process or the software development life cycle (SDLC). |
