Traditional development assumes systems are fully specifiable through extensive planning, while agile development develops high quality adaptive software through small teams that continuously improve design and testing using fast feedback. Management shifts from command and control to leadership and collaboration, while knowledge moves from explicit to tacit. Other differences include communication style, life cycle model, organizational structure, quality control approach, and client involvement. Both approaches have merits and demerits, and neither is inherently simpler - what matters is properly understanding the methodology for the given situation. In-house software provides knowledgeable support from dedicated developers but can lack scalability, while outsourcing decreases coding burden but may increase costs.
