Study Notes
Agile Methodology
- Emphasizes rapid and continuous delivery of small, functional increments
- Allows for quick adaptations and rapid delivery of partial functionality
- Involves iterative cycles with a focus on risk management and continuous improvement
Comparison of Development Models
Flexibility and Adaptability
- Build and Fix Model: Low flexibility; changes are challenging once development has started
- Waterfall Model: Low flexibility; changes are difficult once a phase is completed
- Rapid Prototyping Model: High flexibility; changes can be easily incorporated based on user feedback during prototyping
- Incremental Model: Moderate flexibility; allows for some changes in each increment
- Synchronous and Stabilize Model: Moderate flexibility; synchronized development followed by stabilization phases
- Spiral Model: High flexibility; iterative cycles with a focus on risk management
- Object-Oriented Life Cycle Model: Moderate to high flexibility; emphasizes modular and adaptable design
- Agile Methodology: Exceptional flexibility; embraces iterative and adaptive planning, allowing continuous adjustments throughout the development process
Risk Management
- Build and Fix Model: Limited risk management; issues may surface late in the development process
- Waterfall Model: Limited risk management; issues may not be addressed until later phases
- Rapid Prototyping Model: Moderate risk management; focuses on identifying issues early through prototypes
- Incremental Model: Moderate risk management; issues are addressed incrementally
- Synchronous and Stabilize Model: Addresses risks in stabilization phases; moderate risk management
- Spiral Model: Strong risk management with regular assessments and adjustments
- Object-Oriented Life Cycle Model: Depends on specific implementation; typically involves risk management through modular design
- Agile Methodology: Emphasizes integrated risk management and continuous improvement
