Muzammil Prescriptive Vs Agile Process Models
3 likes4,843 views
The document compares prescriptive and agile software engineering approaches. Prescriptive approaches describe how software should be developed through defined processes and guidelines. They aim to facilitate planning, improve quality and control. However, they can be rigid and inappropriate for environments where requirements change rapidly. Agile approaches emphasize adaptability, speed, and informal processes suited for unpredictable environments. While prescriptive models strive for structure and control, agile prioritizes vales like communication and feedback to enable flexibility. The choice of approach depends on factors like requirement volatility and need for structure versus flexibility.

- 19. Which Approach to ChooseOnce a stage is completed in the Waterfall method, there is no going back With Agile, changes can be made if necessary without getting the entire program rewrittenAgile method has a launch able product at the end of each tested stage This is not possible for the Waterfall methodFederal Urdu University, Islamabad.
- 20. Which Approach to ChooseAgile adopt the customer change means customer happy with its new mind set. While in Waterfall model only on final deliverable which mean customer changing mind is not entertaining.At end we can say that waterfall is useful where project have prescribed value, where as agile methodology is use like web development project where changing made rapidlyFederal Urdu University, Islamabad.
