When to choose/use Agile versus Waterfall?

Question

When to choose/use Agile versus Waterfall?

Answer 1

You can use Agile in the following instances:

• When the projects have less initial requirements and there are no strict regulations to meet
• When the organization does not have to follow any strict processes and you have the liberty of working flexibly
• When the owner of the product wants to be involved in the development process
• When you are trying to develop an innovative product that is not currently in existence
• When the product has to be delivered in a short span of time
• When you have a flexible budget

Instances, where you can use the Waterfall model, include:

• When you have strict regulatory requirements along with no room to make changes
• When your organization has strict processes that they need to attend to
• When the product-owner is not much involved in the process of development
• When you are delivering an upgraded version of an existing product
• When the timeline of the project is fixed
• When the budget of the product is fixed
