    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
