What is Waterfall methodology?

Waterfall Model methodology which is also known as Linear Sequential Life Cycle Model. Waterfall
Model followed in the sequential order, and so project development team only moves to next phase of
development or testing if the previous step completed successfully.

What is the Agile methodology?

Agile methodology is a practice that helps continuous iteration of development and testing in the
software development process. In this model, development and testing activities are concurrent, unlike
the Waterfall model. This process allows more communication between customers, developers,
managers, and testers.

Criteria Agile Waterfall

Approach Iterative and Incremental Sequential

Flexibility Highly flexible and adaptable Less flexible

Planning Minimal planning is enough Detailed planning required

Customer Involvement High level of customer involvement Low level of customer involvement

Risk management Continuous risk management Risk management at the beginning of the project

Documentation Minimal documentation required Extensive documentation required


Time and cost Challenging to estimate time and cost Easy to estimate time and cost

Agile Methodology and Waterfall Methodology

Waterfall methodology is a step-by-step approach to software development that focuses on sequentially


progressing through each stage and phase of the development process.

It allows for a structured and organized way to create a software product, starting from understanding
the problem and ending with the software going live.

This approach typically involves specifying all the requirements and features upfront, detailed analysis
and design, coding, testing, and deployment.

Agile methodology is a way of managing projects that focuses on delivering quick results, being able to
handle changing requirements and emphasizing teamwork. It encourages an iterative approach, with
frequent reviews and adjustments, so that the end product meets the customer’s needs.

Agile differs from traditional project management because it treats projects as shorter sprints instead of
significant, monolithic processes. This allows for greater flexibility and collaboration, leading to quicker
completion of projects with higher quality results.

5. what are Maturity models? Discuss any one maturity model.

Maturity models in software development are frameworks that help organizations assess and improve
their software development processes, practices, and capabilities over time. These models typically
define a set of maturity levels, each representing a stage of organizational maturity, and provide
guidelines for transitioning from one level to the next. One well-known maturity model is the Capability
Maturity Model Integration (CMMI).

CMMI is a newer, updated model of CMM. CMMI adds Agile principles to CMM to help improve
development processes, software configuration management and software quality management. It does
this, in part, by incorporating continuous feedback and continuous improvement into the software
development process. Under CMMI, organizations are expected to continually optimize processes,
record feedback and use that feedback to further improve processes in a cycle of improvement.

Like CMM, CMMI consists of five process maturity levels. However, they are different from the levels in
CMM.
The process performance levels of CMMI are the following:

Initial: Processes are unpredictable and reactive. They increase risk and decrease efficiency.

Managed: Processes are planned and managed, but they still have issues.

Defined: Processes become more proactive than reactive.

Quantitatively managed: Quantitative data is used to craft predictable processes that fulfill stakeholder
needs based on more accurate measurement of adherence to business goals.

Optimizing: The organization has a set of consistent processes that are constantly being improved and
optimized.
