Hello,

I did the certification exam yesterday and struggled on the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) Certification Topic and I need to improve this specific field. Where can I find contents and documentation about this specifics topics below? I made some researches in the appian website but didn't find anything related to that. If some of you have any content that could help me I would be grateful.

Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) (10%)

- Recognize the roles and responsibilities of development team members
- Differentiate between the stages of the SDLC (e.g., analysis, transformation, deployment, testing, maintenance)
- Describe the scrum lifecycle of a user story
- Explain the various Agile scrum ceremonies (e.g., refinement, standup, retrospective)
- Define the use of each Appian environment used within the SDLC

https://academy.appian.com/#/online-courses/860fcdc2-6f53-4b77-9e27-06593c20045f check this course for some info. We don't have lecture with term "SDLC" itself but above link would give an idea of how to look for this info.

Invaluable to learn scrum from the source:

https://scrumguides.org/scrum-guide.html

https://www.scrum.org/learning-series/what-is-scrum

The scrum guide is actually a very quick read, because its supposed to be a very lightweight framework.

To improve your SDLC knowledge for the Appian Certified Associate Developer exam, explore Appian Community resources, especially the Appian Developer and Delivery Methodology courses. Study Agile fundamentals via scrum.org or the Scrum Guide. Understand each SDLC phase, team roles, and ceremonies like refinement, standups, and retrospectives. Appian environments include development, test, staging, and production, each supporting specific SDLC stages. Also, review Appian’s documentation for environment-specific usage. Use forums and discussions in the Appian Community for practical insights and shared experiences. Consistent practice and completing Appian’s training modules will help strengthen your SDLC understanding.
