A Comparative Study of Agile and Waterfall Software Development Methodologies

In earlier software development all processes were completed and implemented but now this is not a scenario. In the modern era, changes are frequent to any software product or module that is in a development phase, due to market competition's priority of requirement changes Because the traditional process models are incompatible with these changes, agile methodology is used instead.. The earlier waterfall model was convenient because of less requirement of features and the emergency of the application in a short period. This Paper Discusses the Comparative Analysis of the waterfall model and agile methodologies while agile methodologies are taking over, even though the waterfall model is older and time-consuming it is still used in many sectors The paper will help other software development process models. The agile method plays an important role in the areas of software project management, software schedule management, etc. The main aim of agile is Customer satisfaction as well as faster development with a low defect rate. This reflects the comparison of the agile processes with the waterfall model software development life cycle model. Agile processes are always beneficial; they have their own set of downsides. The agile method promotes continuous iteration of development and testing throughout the software.

An Organizational Modeling for Developing Smart Contracts on Blockchain-based Supply Chain Finance Systems

Managing smart contracts in an Agile software development based on blockchain technology enables project managers to offer rules for software processes to meet the needs and expectations of stakeholders. On the one hand, smart contracts’ faster cycle time, lower fraud, and lower fees and charges have ensured that the business logic satisfies the stakeholder’s criteria. Agile approaches, on the other hand, are development processes that use incremental and iterative engineering methodologies to drive the system life cycle. Such methodologies are typically well-suited for incorporating and adapting management ideas early in the development life cycle. To reconcile both viewpoints, this work provides an organization modeling for constructing smart contracts on the blockchain utilizing organizational modeling techniques that allow all processes as well as the smart contracts management discipline in supply chain finance system development to be illustrated.
