Now let’s get straight to business.
Choosing a development model: Waterfall or Agile?
Depending on your objective, there are numerous software development methodologies to
choose from. However, two of the most common – and the two this post will focus on – are
the Waterfall and Agile methodologies.
Both methods have a lot to offer and enable your team to deliver high-quality software.
Waterfall tends to be a more predictable methodology, while Agile offers more flexibility
during the development process. Before beginning the development process, it’s important to
determine which method will best suit your needs.
Waterfall Software Development
The Waterfall model is the standard development model where all development stages are
carried out sequentially – the next stage begins after the full completion of the previo
