   Depending on how deeply you want to go into the S/D process, it's an 
iterative process throughout the entire Life Cycle of the 
product/application.  I see it as something like:

  repeat
    plan application/change
    design application/change
    implement application/change
    test & debug application/change
    document & distribute application/change
    (receive error reports from users)
  until end_of_product_life

where each step that's performed is done for whatever the "work product" 
is - a new application, an enhancement, an error fix, etc.  At some 
point, the base product achieves "end of life" (however that's decided, 
by whomever), and the process stops.  But each of the above steps 
applies, to some degree, to whatever work is done on the product - so 
therefore I see many iterations for successful software products.  8<}}
