SDLC is a foundational concept in software engineering that is universally recognized in both Brazilian and North American tech industries. In Brazil, while the Portuguese translation is used in formal documentation and education, the English acronym 'SDLC' is extremely common in professional settings due to the global nature of software development. Different SDLC methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, Scrum) are adopted based on organizational needs, with Agile being increasingly popular in modern Brazilian tech companies.
