Software Development Methodologies
Software Development Methodologies
processes and practices used to manage and control the development of software projects. They
help ensure quality, efficiency, and predictability. 1. **Waterfall**: - Sequential development
process with distinct phases. - Suitable for projects with well-defined requirements. 2.
**Agile**: - Iterative and incremental approach with a focus on collaboration and flexibility. -
Examples: Scrum, Kanban. 3. **DevOps**: - Combines software development and IT
operations for continuous delivery. - Emphasizes automation, monitoring, and rapid releases. 4.
**Lean**: - Focuses on minimizing waste and maximizing value. - Originated from
manufacturing practices. 5. **Spiral**: - Combines iterative development with risk
management. - Suitable for complex and high-risk projects. 6. **V-Model**: - Extension of the
Waterfall model with a focus on verification and validation. - Emphasizes testing at each
development stage. 7. **RAD (Rapid Application Development)**: - Emphasizes quick
development and iteration. - Suitable for projects requiring rapid prototyping. Choosing the right
methodology depends on project requirements, team size, and organizational culture.
Understanding these methodologies helps in managing software projects effectively. """,
