How Generative AI will change the software development lifecycle (SDLC)?
One of the most promising applications of generative AI is in the domain of software development. Software development is a complex, creative, and collaborative process that involves various tasks, such as planning, requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing, debugging, deployment, and maintenance.
Generative AI and Tools in the SDLC
Each of these tasks requires different skills and tools, and often involves multiple stakeholders with different perspectives and expectations. The traditional software development lifecycle (SDLC) model is typically linear and sequential (waterfall), but it does not reflect the dynamic and iterative nature of real-world software projects (scrum). As the agile way of doing has the major role in software development projects, we try to enlighten the agile approach in SDLC and Generative AI as well.
Enhancing Communication and Collaboration
Generative AI and tools for software development lifecycle can offer novel solutions to some of the challenges and limitations of the traditional SDLC model. By leveraging the power of natural language processing, computer vision, and deep learning and generative AI, there is new ways of how you can create, modify, and evaluate software artifacts, such as code, documentation, user interfaces, and test cases.
Enabling Agile and Adaptive Practices
These tools can also facilitate communication and collaboration among developers, managers, clients, and end-users, by providing natural language interfaces, chatbots, and virtual assistants. Moreover, generative AI can enable more agile and adaptive software development practices, by allowing rapid prototyping, feedback, and iteration.

Productivity Gains with Generative AI
Despite being a relatively recent innovation, Gen AI has rapidly taken a place as a daily tool for a significant part of software developers. Our own research and discussions with our clients indicate a potential productivity improvement of 30-50% currently achievable with Gen AI in multiple use cases. This will significantly enhance designer’s or developer’s productivity, alter the roles of software developers, and reshape the necessary skill set.
Siili’s Commitment to AI-Powered Development
At Siili, we are committed to being a forerunner in this transformation of IT Services industry through AI-Powered software development. We have our own three level AI certification training for our consultants. We have already engaged with several large companies in AI-Powered software development and are actively participating in academic research initiatives to further understand this phenomenon.
During the following weeks we will enlighten the SDLC activities with Generative AI tools and solutions.
We invite you to join us on this exciting journey!
