Agile vs. Waterfall: Which Methodology to Choose for Your Project?

One of the most challenging and eternal questions in project management is “Which software development methodology will be the right option?” This is about development methodologies. This topic gets a lot of discussions and hot debates as every software development project start with the selection of an implementation approach.

Advantages of Agile:

• The customer has frequent and early opportunities to see the work being delivered, and to make decisions and changes throughout the development project;
• The customer gains a strong sense of ownership by working directly with the team throughout the project;
• If time to market for a specific application is a greater concern than releasing a full feature set at initial launch, Agile can more quickly produce a basic version of working software which can be built upon in successive iterations;
• Development is often more user-focused.

Advantages of the Waterfall Model:

• It is one of the easiest models to manage. Due to its nature, each phase has specific deliverables and a review process;
