Waterfall Model vs Kanban
Developers should learn the Waterfall Model to understand traditional project management approaches, especially for projects with well-defined, stable requirements and low uncertainty, such as government contracts or safety-critical systems meets developers should learn kanban when working in fast-paced, iterative environments where priorities shift frequently, as it provides real-time visibility into work status and helps manage workflow without fixed sprints. Here's our take.
Waterfall Model
Developers should learn the Waterfall Model to understand traditional project management approaches, especially for projects with well-defined, stable requirements and low uncertainty, such as government contracts or safety-critical systems
Waterfall Model
Nice PickDevelopers should learn the Waterfall Model to understand traditional project management approaches, especially for projects with well-defined, stable requirements and low uncertainty, such as government contracts or safety-critical systems
Pros
- +It is useful in contexts where regulatory compliance, detailed documentation, and predictable timelines are prioritized over flexibility, making it relevant for legacy systems or industries like aerospace and healthcare
- +Related to: software-development-life-cycle, project-management
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Kanban
Developers should learn Kanban when working in fast-paced, iterative environments where priorities shift frequently, as it provides real-time visibility into work status and helps manage workflow without fixed sprints
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for maintenance teams, support operations, or projects with unpredictable workloads, as it reduces cycle times and improves responsiveness to changes
- +Related to: agile-methodology, scrum
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Waterfall Model if: You want it is useful in contexts where regulatory compliance, detailed documentation, and predictable timelines are prioritized over flexibility, making it relevant for legacy systems or industries like aerospace and healthcare and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Kanban if: You prioritize it is particularly useful for maintenance teams, support operations, or projects with unpredictable workloads, as it reduces cycle times and improves responsiveness to changes over what Waterfall Model offers.
