Top Software Development Methodologies
1. Agile Development
Agile is a flexible, iterative approach emphasizing collaboration and adaptability:
- Work is broken into sprints (short, time-boxed periods).
- Regular feedback ensures the product evolves effectively.
- Frameworks like Scrum and Kanban are popular.
2. Waterfall Model
A linear, sequential methodology:
- Suitable for projects with clear, unchanging requirements.
- Phases (e.g., design, development) are completed before moving forward.
3. DevOps
Combining development and operations:
- Focuses on automation, collaboration, and continuous delivery.
- Improves efficiency by integrating coding, testing, and deployment.
4. Lean Software Development
Prioritizes efficiency by eliminating waste:
- Focus on delivering maximum value to customers.
- Encourages continuous learning and small, incremental deliveries.
