    Waterfall and Agile are two approaches to project management. Waterfall involves well-established plans, a linear schedule, and cost and quality control through careful upfront estimation. The project manager takes a leading role in assigning tasks. Agile uses shorter iterations to focus on quick delivery and value. Planning is adjusted in response to feedback. The project manager acts as a facilitator while the team shares responsibility and seeks ongoing stakeholder input through testing and improvements.
