SDLC UI Dev Optimization
To optimize the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) for UX and UI, the focus must shift from rigid, linear processes to iterative, user-centered methodologies that integrate design and development early and often.
AndThereWas' Approach to SDLC Dev Optimization
The goal is to move away from traditional Waterfall methods in favor of Agile iteration with low-fidelity sketching, project management assistance, creation of user stories for Devs, ad-hoc UX/UI design and development, following of DevOps, UX, and product design best practices to ensure continuous deliverables until project completion.
This allows for the building of Design Systems, rapid project UI development (with or without UI Design Comps), quicker client and user validation, and automated UI checks, ensuring the final product is usable, delightful, and purposeful.
Bridging the Gap
By bridging the gap between vision and deployment, AndThereWas utilizes a “Unicorn 🦄 Designer” approach—leveraging over 20 years of experience across UX, UI, Dev, QA, and product management—to streamline workflows and reduce costly rework.

Analogy for Understanding
Optimizing the SDLC is like upgrading from a traditional paper map to a real-time GPS system. Instead of following a fixed, pre-printed route (Waterfall) that can’t account for road closures or traffic, you use a dynamic system (Agile) that constantly recalculates and provides the most efficient path forward, ensuring you reach your destination faster and with fewer wrong turns.
