Developers should learn Kanban when working in agile environments to manage tasks transparently, reduce bottlenecks, and deliver value continuously without fixed iterations meets developers should learn and use the waterfall methodology in projects with well-defined, stable requirements and low uncertainty, such as government contracts, safety-critical systems, or large-scale infrastructure where changes are costly. Here's our take.
