SDLC of a Project

Normally, one would speak of system analysis, REquirement Gathering, SRS, development, testing, delivery, maintenance.

After being through a project for complete SDLC, I feel otherwise. Its only two, nope, three phases. Hectic work, Medium Hectic, Normal pace. A Project Manager and Leader, along with the functional consultant would be either in the Hectic or Medium Hectic Phases, all through the project duration. Developers would be in hectic situation just before releases and QA would be under hectic work during the first few releases. Else, it would be normal or Medium Hectic.

We start a project with an estimation, we get CR's, we change the estimation, then, the so called final release happens, and then, UAt, then, starts the series of CR's, and from here, every release is a final release till we actually end it. And this I notice is same with many projects held across different companies.

Any one differs????
