A software development team is improving its deployment process. Calculate the cycle time for deploying a new feature, where the planning phase takes 2 days, coding takes 5 days, testing takes 3 days, and deployment itself takes 1 day. Propose at least two strategies to reduce the deployment cycle time. Explain how reducing cycle time supports Lean principles in software development.

Requirements:

1. Calculate the deployment cycle time.
2. Propose at least two strategies to shorten the cycle time.
3. Explain how reducing cycle time supports Lean principles in software development.
