Team Productivity vs Waterfall Methodology
Developers should focus on team productivity to improve project outcomes, reduce burnout, and foster a positive work environment, especially in agile or collaborative settings where coordination is key 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.
