    The four developmental models are: 1) The Waterfall Model follows a linear sequential process from requirements to maintenance. 2) Rapid Application Development (RAD) focuses on rapid prototyping and user feedback in an iterative process. 3) The Incremental Model divides a project into smaller increments that are developed and delivered iteratively. 4) The Spiral Model combines iterative development with risk analysis in a cyclical process for complex projects. The choice depends on a project's characteristics, such as requirements stability and risk management needs. Agile Methodology differs by taking an iterative approach through short sprints, enabling adaptation. It also emphasizes collaboration through cross-functional teams and continuous customer feedback.

    A.

    Differentiate the 4 developmental models:


    1. Waterfall Model is a sequential software development approach where each phase of the project is
    completed before moving on to the next one. It follows a linear flow, starting with requirements
    gathering, followed by design, implementation, testing, and finally maintenance. This model emphasizes
    a well-defined and rigid structure, making it suitable for projects with stable and clearly understood
    requirements.

    2. Rapid Application Development (RAD) Model focuses on rapid prototyping and iterative development.
    It involves creating a basic version of the software quickly, gathering feedback, and making iterative
    improvements based on user input. RAD aims to accelerate the development process and enhance
    flexibility by involving users and stakeholders throughout the project life cycle.

    3. Incremental Model involves dividing the project into smaller, manageable modules that are
    developed and delivered incrementally. Each module goes through the phases of the Waterfall Model,
    but with multiple cycles. It allows for early delivery of usable software and facilitates feedback
    incorporation into subsequent increments. This model suits projects where requirements are not fully
    known upfront or where quick delivery is essential.

    4. Spiral Model is a risk-driven approach that combines elements of both the Waterfall Model and the
    iterative approach. It involves repeated cycles of planning, risk analysis, development, and evaluation.
    Each iteration builds upon the previous ones, gradually refining the product while managing risks
    effectively. The Spiral Model is suitable for large-scale and complex projects that require continuous risk
    assessment and mitigation.

    Comparing these models, the Waterfall Model offers a structured and systematic approach but lacks
    flexibility for accommodating changes. RAD emphasizes rapid development and user involvement but
    may sacrifice certain quality aspects. The Incremental Model focuses on delivering functionality in
    increments and adapting to evolving requirements, while the Spiral Model provides a risk-driven
    approach for managing complex projects. The choice of the model depends on the project's
    characteristics, such as stability of requirements, time constraints, user involvement, and risk
    management needs.

    B. From the 4 models above, how do Agile Methodology differ?


    Agile Methodology is distinct from the Waterfall, RAD, Incremental, and Spiral models in two
    key aspects. Firstly, Agile adopts an iterative approach, breaking the project into short iterations or
    sprints. Each sprint focuses on delivering a working increment of the software, allowing for quick
    feedback and adaptation. This iterative nature enables teams to respond to changing requirements and
    customer needs effectively.
    Secondly, Agile emphasizes collaboration and customer satisfaction. Cross-functional teams
    work closely together, fostering frequent communication and collaboration. Daily stand-up meetings
    and continuous feedback loops ensure that everyone is aligned and working towards a common goal.
    Moreover, Agile prioritizes customer satisfaction by involving customers and stakeholders throughout
    the development process. Their feedback is incorporated into the iterations, ensuring that the delivered
    software meets their expectations.
    Agile Methodology sets itself apart by embracing iterative development and prioritizing
    collaboration and customer satisfaction. By promoting flexibility, adaptability, and continuous
    improvement, Agile enables teams to deliver high-quality software that meets evolving requirements
    and provides value to customers.
