I would formulate it as: The software development lifecycle is inevitable, or you will not have any software. The lifecycle is just not acknowledged and thus implicit to many people. If you hack in Notepad, FTP it to your webserver, then your lifecycle lasts till you switch it all off. A simple lifecycle, but unavoidable to have one.
