One of the simplest and most commonly
used models is the waterfall. Each phase
has particular deliverables and a review
procedure due to the conventional
development structure of the project.
The software development life cycle is
divided into several phases, such as
requirements gathering, analysis, and
design; coding; unit testing; system
testing; and user acceptance testing.
Waterfall Model - Pros
Gives a detailed outline of the project's
overall strategy.
It is one of the easiest to use types.
The nature of the project necessitates
that each phase include deliverables and
a review procedure.
Early project requirement definition by
the team might help with time savings.
The process and the results are both
thoroughly documented.
Waterfall Model - Cons
lA large-scale project shouldn't be
developed using a waterfall model.
This limits the amount of flexibility.
If the demand is not well defined at the
outset, this strategy is less effective.
It is challenging to move forward and
alter earlier stages.
It works well for initiatives with a clear end result. Waterfall approaches may be an
excellent technique if a project owner has a clear and defined goal.
Agile Model
Agile fits into a specific subset of rapid
application development. It's project
management approach is much more
flexible. It is a team-based strategy that
prioritises the quick release of a usable
application while keeping the needs of
the client in mind. Agile involves the
team working on several project phases
simultaneously, frequently with tight
deadlines.

Agile Model - Pros
Agile places a strong emphasis on
teamwork, small, quick releases, and
customer feedback.
Agile is far more adaptable and allows for
trying out various strategies.
Agile teams are very active and driven,
which increases their tendency to
produce better results for development
projects.
It makes sure that development quality is
upheld throughout the process.
Agile Model - Cons
It is more difficult to establish the project
timeline up front, and it is also more
prone to change.
It is not a workable plan for smaller
development projects.
Agile offers a lot of flexibility for course correction and adaptation as the project
progresses. It works well for projects whose results could require additional
investigation or testing.
When compared to alternative methods,
the cost of employing agile to produce
small projects is higher.
