The waterfall methodology is a linear approach to software development while Agile is an iterative and incremental approach. The key difference between the two methodologies lies in the way software development is approached and executed. In the waterfall methodology, each phase must be completed before proceeding to the next one. In contrast, Agile methodology's approach is to work on pieces of functionality at a time and iterate through them until the finished product is achieved. Agile methodology emphasizes team collaboration, face-to-face communication, and self-organizing teams. Waterfall methodology tends to be more rigid and involves a hierarchical team structure with specific roles and responsibilities for each team member. |

Waterfall is a traditional, sequential approach to software development where each stage of the development process (requirements gathering, design, development, testing, deployment) is completed before moving on to the next stage. It follows a linear and structured approach, and once a stage is completed, it is difficult to go back and make changes. This methodology is often used for large and complex projects where the requirements are well understood and defined upfront. On the other hand, Agile is an iterative and incremental approach to software development. It emphasizes collaboration, flexibility, and customer satisfaction. In Agile, development is done in short cycles or sprints, with each sprint delivering a working piece of software. The requirements can change and evolve during the development process, and the team can respond to these changes quickly. This methodology is often used for smaller and more dynamic projects. I would like to recommend a book on Agile Software Development. Its amazing and I am reading it personally. |
