What is the primary goal of software development?

The software development lifecycle is a systematic approach used by the software industry to design, develop and test high-quality software. The primary objective of the SDLC is to produce high-quality software that meets or exceeds customer expectations and is completed within estimated time frames and costs. If you work or lead a software development team, I suggest that you read this book if you have the opportunity. In fact, based on the applications of constraint theory in our field, I think it also applies to software development. The Goal by Eli Goldratt is a business book in the form of a novel, where the protagonist must prevent his factory from closing due to very low productivity.
