Assessing the Efficiency of Waterfall and Sprint-Based Approaches in Software Development Projects
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This paper presents a comparative study of the Waterfall model and sprint-based work tasks in project management. The Waterfall model, known for its linear and sequential approach, has been a cornerstone of software development since its inception in the 1970s. On the other hand, sprint-based work tasks, primarily used in Agile frameworks like Scrum, represent a flexible, iterative approach suited to modern, dynamic project requirements. This paper explores the key characteristics, advantages, and limitations of both models, as well as the contexts in which each is most effective ending with real time examples. Through a detailed analysis, this paper provides insights into selecting the optimal project management methodology based on project requirements, team dynamics, and organizational goals.
