Remodelling The Software Development Lifecycle (4)

This is the fourth in a five-part series of workshops being held by Full Stack Feminism in Digital Humanities, where we aim to unpack and remodel the software development lifecycle (SDLC).

We will be holding this workshop on the 8th March, with another on the 15th March respectively. You are welcome to register for as many as you like, as long as you can definitely attend. Every workshop is suitable for newcomers, because we will be looking at different components of the lifecycle in each session.

In workshops 1 and 2, we unpacked existing lifecycles. We looked at various graphical representations of the SDLC and found that they seem to place the most importance on:

Creating things quickly, but at whose expense? Some of the SDLCs were depicted as physical races / obstacle courses, as opposed to a cycle or loop.
The business side of software development: the only people depicted were the creators, not the users, and they were dressed in suits. They were rewarded with a trophy at the end of the "race".
The outcome / product, rather than the process or people.
Every part of the SDLC being equal - is this realistic?

In this session (workshop 4) and the one that follows it (workshops 5), we will examine what a feminist SDLC could look like, and refine this together.

Please conduct a Google image search for "software development lifecycle" before the workshop, so you can see what existing SDLCs look like.

This event will be held via Zoom. Please note that the session will be recorded, for note-taking purposes.

A link will be sent shortly before the event.
