26. Methodology: Waterfall • Phases – A project is composed of a series of distinct phases • Milestones – Each phase concludes with a milestone • Deliverables – Milestones usually represent the delivery of something physical (a document, a program, etc) • Unidirectionality– Once each phase is finished and its milestone achieved, it is normally not repeated

27. Methodology: Spiral • Prototypes – rapid development of partial nonfunctional sample systems that can easily be refined • Client Feedback – prototypes are shown to clients early and often for review and refinement • Rapid Cycles – time intervals between client feedback and integration is short • Flexibility – this approach is designed to be highly responsive to changes

28. Methodology: Agile • Customer satisfied by rapid, continuous delivery of useful software • Working software is delivered frequently (weeks rather than months) • Working software is the principal measure of progress • Even late changes in requirements are welcomed • Close, daily cooperation between business people and developers • Face-to-face conversation is the best form of communication • Projects are built around motivated individuals, who are selected for being trustworthy • Continuous attention to technical excellence and incremental improvements • Simplicity, self-organizing teams, regular adaptation to changing circumstances
