Product Development Life Cycle (PDLC) is the structured process that teams follow to take a product from initial idea through to delivery and beyond. The 5 phases of the PDLC are:
- Discovery & Ideation: identify user problems, explore potential solutions, and validate assumptions
- Solution Definition: define product requirements, designs, and technical plans
- Build & Test: develop and validate the product
- Launch: deploy the product
- Monitor & Maintain: track product performance and make improvements or fixes as needed
