Great article it clearly shows that SDLC is not just a formal framework but a structure that directly impacts product quality. I especially liked the emphasis on the continuous nature of the lifecycle through maintenance. Many clients still assume that once development is finished, the project is “done,” while in reality the most important phase often begins after release, when the product starts evolving based on real usage.

From experience, this becomes even more critical in niche solutions such as the flooring industry, where systems often include complex logic pricing calculations, ERP integrations, order and inventory management. Without a structured lifecycle, projects can quickly become difficult to maintain and scale. That’s why specialized flooring software development services are typically built around a clear yet flexible SDLC approach.

Thanks for sharing a solid reminder that quality software is always an ongoing process, not a one-time delivery.
