“…Similar to this, agile has lower quality metrics scores than waterfall. It appears that agile teams prioritize delivering a demonstrable piece of software on schedule while somehow ignoring its quality (Włodarski et al 2020). Sinha and Das (2021) investigated the implementation of the software quality assurance or testing phase and how it will function with the agile approaches.…”

“…To put it another way, depending on the project, either agile or waterfall should be used, and in certain situations, both methodologies may be used at various stages of the project (Włodarski et al 2020). The adoption of both agile and waterfall methodologies in the same software development firm is explored in this section using various suggestions and recommendations.…”

“…In light of this, the novelty of this study lies in its examination of this viewpoint to present an insightful perspective on when agile is more suitable than waterfall, and vice versa. There has been a scant comparative study published despite an ongoing argument about whether the method is more successful (Włodarski et al 2020). It also evaluates whether software development companies should adopt a hybrid approach that incorporates both agile and waterfall methodologies.…”

The use of agile methodology has become widespread in organizations that previously relied on traditional or structured software development methods, such as the waterfall approach. Successful completion rates for agile initiatives are at 40%, whereas only 15% of waterfall projects were successfully completed. To take advantage of the benefits of each method, many organizations are using a hybrid approach that combines Agile with Waterfall and structured software development methodologies. Rather than asking which methodology is superior, it is more productive to determine which one is most effective for a particular project. Agile projects have a failure rate of 10%, while waterfall projects fail 30% of the time. This study aims to compare and contrast agile and waterfall methodologies in order to create a decision tree for selecting the most suitable method for a software development project. Several cases and scenarios are examined using the hybrid development approach. Despite many advantages of Agile methodologies, a combination approach may be necessary, as Waterfall may be required for certain projects or development phases. This study explores the feasibility of combining Waterfall and Agile methodologies in software development management.

In recent years, a vivid interest in hybrid development methods has been observed as practitioners combine various approaches to software creation to improve productivity, product quality, and adaptability of the process to react to change. Scientific papers on the subject proliferate, however evaluation of the effectiveness of hybrid methods in academic contexts has yet to follow. The work presented investigates if introducing a hybrid approach for student projects brings added value as compared to iterative and sequential development. A controlled experiment was carried out among Bachelor students of a French engineering school to assess the impacts of a given development method on the success of student computing undertakings. Its three dimensions were examined via a set of metrics: product quality, team productivity as well as human factors (teamwork quality & learning outcomes). Several patterns were observed, which can provide a starting point for educators and researchers wishing to tailor or design a software development process for academic needs.
