[Year 12 IT Apps] Study design content

[Mark Kelly]

Yes, but if all the stages within the SDLC and the PSM are identically 
named, is there any effective difference between them, apart from the name?

I don't mean to quibble, but if there's any difference between the 
phases of the SDLC and PSM then I've yet to find it.

They seem to be the same philosophy/strategy, used to both solve 
problems to develop systems.
