Is Program development life-cycle is generated from the system development cycle?

Yes, the program development life cycle (PDLC) is often considered a subset of the broader system development life cycle (SDLC). While the SDLC encompasses the entire process of developing and maintaining a system, including requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance, the PDLC focuses specifically on the stages involved in creating software programs. Both cycles share similar phases, but the PDLC is more narrowly tailored to software development activities.
