Abstract

This paper focuses on the two major software project management processes, Agile and Waterfall, and explains the fundamental concepts, advantages, and disadvantages of each process. Agile is famous for its incremental and adaptive style that helps teams adapt to changing conditions that are existent in project contexts. On the other hand, there is a Waterfall approach, which is a more rigid framework applicable for projects that are expected to undergo little change in requirements. This paper compares the various methodologies in terms of systems used, functioning, uses and the aspects that determine their use. Drawings and illustrations, such as flowcharts and diagrams, are provided to support the concepts explained and presented. The authors also describe the conditions suitable for applying each of the methodologies under discussion.
