Hm, what is the relationship bewteen software development process and project lifecycle? Much duplication between these pages, needs to be clarified. - Guppie
Also, what is relationship between methodology and software development process?
It all comes down to definition. Project lifecycle is to with project, not necessarily software. And software is often only one component of a system (requirements definition, analysis, design, hardware, network infrastructure, disaster recovery, operations manuals, user manuals, marketing, training, etc etc). And a methodology can apply to any one or any subset of all these. Or to the project. You could even have a project to develop a methodology. We have different words for different things! Luckily.
