Determine the software methodology you will use. Give all the necessary
justifications for your decision:

In software development there are many methods and methodologies that can be
used to manage reservations in active restaurants and connect customers to
available restaurants within a time range. The best type for this applications is Agile,
which is known for its flexibility and iterative approach.

What are the reasons to choose Agile:

Agile methodology is a popular software development approach that emphasizes

flexibility, collaboration, and rapid iteration. In the context of restaurant reservation
software, Agile methodology can be used to quickly develop and test new features,
respond to changing customer needs, and improve the overall user experience.

For example, Agile methodology can help restaurant reservation software:

Flexibility: Restaurants often have changing requirements due to several factors,

including variations in seasonal menus, during special events, or availability of
traditional dishes by region. This agile methodology allows the flexibility to adapt to
these changes quickly and without disrupting the development process.

Improve customer satisfaction: Using Agile methodology, developers can quickly

identify and address issues with the reservation process, such as long wait times or
reservation errors. This can help improve the overall customer experience and
increase customer satisfaction.

Reduce development time: Agile methodology focuses on rapid iteration and

constant feedback, which can help reduce the time required to develop new
features or fix bugs. This can help restaurant reservation software stay competitive
by responding quickly to changing market conditions.

Increased Collaboration: Agile methodology emphasizes collaboration between

developers, stakeholders, and customers. This can help ensure that the final
product meets the needs of all stakeholders and aligns with overall business goals.

Quality Improvement: The Agile methodology focuses on continuous testing and

providing feedback, which can help identify and fix problems early in the
development process. This can help improve the overall quality of the final product.
