Waterfall Model Agile Model

In this case the project is divided into various
phases
The Waterfall Model is not quite flexible
In this case the project is completed in various
small individual phases of the Software
Development Lifecycle
There are no feedbacks in each phase of the
project
If project needs to be done under Waterfall
Model then the requirements of the project
need to be known before the project is started
The different phases of project development
such as design and developing are completed
only once here
In Waterfall Model the Testing Phase is carried
out after the Build Phase
In this case the project is divided into short
term sprints
The Agile Model is flexible enough for changes
In this case the project is completed as
collection of individual sub units
There are feedbacks from user for each part of
the project
The requirements of the project need not be
known before hand in this case
The different phases of the project are
completed in iterative times by obtaining
feedback from the user
In Agile Model the testing phase is carried in
the same phase as that of development

2) Pros of Waterfall Model :

It is easy to understand and use

Each Phase needs to be completed before the previous phase and hence the errors can be corrected
accordingly.

The output provides more visibility on how far the development of project has gone through

The project can be completed within stipulated deadline since work is divided across various phases

Cons of Waterfall Mode :

It is not dynamic and doesn’t change to environment as with the case of agile projects. Hence
requirements cant be changed in middle

Its not possible to change the hardware and software since requirements are gathered in the
beginning
