In our company I write the code and then test it a bit, then put it live and cross my fingers, then six months later I’ll get an email about a bug

[felix_xb]

You forgot the 20 meetings inbetween every step.

[SuperSpeed]

in my company we use the "trust me bro" methodology 😎

[mclaren]

And in some places all of these phases are expected to be performed by the same team

Crowdstrike on a Friday: "Hey intern push that to prod and get me a beer."

[romeu_]

All of that just to change the color of a button....

[SethTheOrigin]

In my company, I can literally commit and push to all of the Live servers at the push of a button :) we’re a team of 10 ok

[imparthv]

In my company we don't plan anything, we don't take feedbacks, hell we don't use version control . We just check everything locally and then go to the server and replace the code out there. You guessed it right, I work in a shitty company and I'm leaving it.

Can you please create a complete video on that

[BrasingtonAssociates]

You are forgetting design sprints with A/B testing in prototyping tools like axure or Figma. Depending on your tech stack the cost of change because of usability and UI changes needed can be enormous especially if it’s on a platform that is a monolith like sales force or ServiceNow.

[DominikPlaylists]

This is mature modern startups. All big tech companies use their own custom stack.

[RAVINDERSINGH-htpl]

Please make separate video on each topic/tools you addressed. First explain the problem and then how did these tool solve those problems

[ArmadilloFactory]

This video makes me feel old. I remember when most of these products first appeared and especially when they didn’t exist.

[pradyumnagupta]

Actually, there is usually a design phase as well between the plan and development phase. This involves discussions from anywhere between evaluating approaches to revisiting requirements for any compromises or SLAs.

Let's not forget other SDLC processes like penetration testing in CAT/UAT that leads to security-focused sprints prior to deployment. Many dev teams would be served better understanding there will likely be (sometimes large) changes needed prior to deploying to higher environments.

[mro_coding]

You forgot to mention to what size of company this apply and the system itself if it is worth all those steps😂

[reymalik]

crowdstrike: *Thats a lot of words, too bad I aint reading them*

[shankarjothi]

Just curious, what tools or software do you use to draw the info graphic?

[kreuner]

You actually ship a broken kernel driver to every customer you have

[LCTesla]

Too many small companies imitate these processes without understanding properly at which scale they are effective.
