We also explore the key development methodologies that shape how software is created and delivered, including Agile, Waterfall, and DevOps. Each methodology has its unique strengths and challenges, and understanding these differences will help you choose the best approach for your specific project. You’ll learn how Agile prioritizes flexibility and rapid iteration, how Waterfall focuses on a linear, structured process, and how DevOps integrates development and operations teams for continuous delivery and collaboration.

Additionally, we introduce the critical tools and technologies used throughout the development lifecycle, from project management software to version control systems and deployment tools. With this foundational knowledge, you’ll be equipped to navigate the complexities of software development and gain a deeper understanding of how to manage scope, schedule, and budget effectively to ensure a project’s success.
