The difference between agile development and waterfall development is: Waterfall development often overlooks the risk of becoming inflexible to change 🛑🔄, leading to issues if project requirements evolve during the development cycle 🔍 For agile development, you get the key advantage of iterative progress and flexibility 🚀🔄✨, allowing teams to adapt to changes and continuously improve the product based on user feedback 🗣️🔧 Practical takeaway: When choosing between development strategies, consider the likelihood of changing requirements and the need for ongoing feedback 💬📝. Agile may be more suitable for projects with evolving needs 🔄, while waterfall could work better for projects with well-defined requirements and minimal changes 📊📅

Awesome insights, Roman, I would add that a well-organised Agile way of working is much more motivating for people, as continuous learning is at the core.
Thank you Roman Letodiani 💠 for sharing informative and concise between development methodologies! I was exploring the difference between various development models, and it helped to solidify my understanding! I really appreciate your commitment and consistency, and wondering how are you coping with all of it? I'm pushing boundaries of my mind as well forward my goals as well. I dedicate 100% of my time into self-improvement, and over the last 2 months I saw the huge difference literally another me 🙂

Waterfall is also iterative, based on user feedback. Only the iterations start after 'final' delivery.

5moRoman this is great discussion on how to choose a methodology. If I could add one thing, it would be that Waterfall should not be used in the development of small-to-medium systems. It's too cumbersome. I would recommend using Waterfall only for the development of large systems with many integrations which are known from the beginning and, as you have said, not many change requests.
