How does the choice of software engineering methodology impact the adaptability and responsiveness of a development team in the face of changing project requirements?

The choice of software engineering methodology directly impacts how effectively a development team can adapt to changing project requirements. Agile methodologies, such as Scrum or Kanban, enable quick adjustments and continuous collaboration, enhancing adaptability and responsiveness. Conversely, traditional methodologies like Waterfall may hinder the team's ability to respond promptly to evolving project needs, potentially causing delays or inefficiencies.

  • In reality, nobody would use waterfall in situations where requirements are subject to change.  And most people wouldn't use a strict waterfall at all for a big project.

    There will most likely be some wiggle room in the development process to handle changes.  A couple of decades ago, Rational Unified Process was popular.  It defined a series of iterations, during which you work towards the finished product.  The iterative model allows time to fix problems found in the early iterations.
