Which approach makes sense for successful software development for your project? Both ways — traditional and agile ones — have their advantages. However, the decision depends on many factors. So you should be aware of the problems and requirements of the software in advance.

Traditional and agile approaches have their advantages.

What is traditional software development?

In traditional software development the individual development phases proceed linearly and are completed by milestones. The whole process can be described as rigid. Project-relevant factors such as costs and duration are determined and clearly defined before the project starts. The focus here is the delivery of a finished product at the end of the project.

What is agile software development?

Agile software development has an iterative and incremental approach. Certain cycles are repeated multiple times and deliver a functional interim product. There is no ready-made schedule here but rather short planning cycles. The software is developed step by step. Discovery and change is the focus here.
