However, this way it often gets challenging for startup companies to choose the methodology that would best suit their project requirements. In the case of complex <strong>mobile app development<\/strong>, it is vital to understand the project needs before you take any decision to select the best methodology for the development process.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, there are other things to be considered such as budget, time limitation, update requirement, scopes of the project, and expertise of professionals. These factors play a critical role when it comes to making this big decision. So, here let&#8217;s discuss the Scrum and Waterfall technology that help new Startups in selecting the right methodology suiting their project needs well.<br \/>\nNow before we begin, it is essential to understand the fundamentals of both scrum and waterfall, to find about the effectiveness as well as challenges of both scrum and waterfall.

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>It&#8217;s a prominent framework and control process helps in reducing the project complexity and enhances focus on developing products that attain the precise needs of businesses. This simple and efficient framework is useful for successful team collaboration as it comes to working on complex projects.<br \/>\nHere in this framework, iterations of fixed length known as sprints that take one or two weeks by the team to deliver software module on a regular interval and parted features require approaching using an agile methodology. It follows a set of tasks, meetings along with responsibilities that can&#8217;t be amended.<br \/>\nThe four major ceremonies of Scrum that offer structure to all sprints (project steps) comprise of sprint planning, daily standup, sprint demo, and presentation. During the period of each of the sprint, the team utilizes visual object to demonstrate progress and gather gradual feedback.<\/p>\n<h6><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Key_Roles_of_Scrum_are\"><\/span><b>The Key Roles of Scrum are:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\n<p><b>The Product Owner:<\/b> The person representing the company.<br \/>\n<b>The Scrum Master:<\/b> The person defining three ceremonies, comprising of Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum and Sprint Retrospection. This certain person is referred to as a team facilitator instead of a team leader or a project manager.<br \/>\n<b>The Scrum Team:<\/b> This team looks after the development of the project.<\/p>\n<h6><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Benefits_of_Scrum\"><\/span><b>Key Benefits of Scrum:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\n<p>Scrum involves precise roles and ceremonies and offers various benefits:<\/p>\n<h6><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Each_Team_member_is_responsible\"><\/span><b>Each Team member is responsible<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\n<p>The Scrum team doesn&#8217;t have a project leader, and it is a collective responsibility of each team member involved to complete the work in each sprint. The mutual understanding plays a pivotal role, and it is necessary to assist each other in work and complete the task together. This leads to better team collaboration and gives authorization to each team member to work independently and efficiently.<\/p>\n<h6><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Better_Project_Visibility\"><\/span><b>Better Project Visibility<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\n<p>It is the responsibility of the Scrum team to organize daily meetings to ensure the team knows what each member is doing. This reduces confusion and unnecessary arguments. This also makes it easy to find any issues in the initial stage so that the team can work out things before they become intricate.<\/p>\n<h6><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Amendment_is_simple\"><\/span><b>Amendment is simple<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\n<p>It turns easier to deal with necessary amendments when you use the small parts of sprints and regular feedback.

Thorough testing is done at each sprint before moving to the next sprint as that makes it foolproof.

Here, you just need to complete each phase fully before proceeding to the next one.<br \/>\nThe projects which are small in size and have precise requirements best suit this software development model. After completion of each phase, they are reviewed so as to ensure that everything is perfect and there is no need to abandon or not to continue further.<br \/>\nHere, the testing process is conducted once the entire project development process is over. This model best suits the project which has clear needs, precisely known and predetermined. The most crucial aspect is that there are no uncertain requirements, stable product definition and known technology. When the project is small and sufficient resources are available with required proficiency, it reaps great outcomes.<\/p>\n<h6><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sequential_Phases\"><\/span><b>Sequential Phases:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\n<p>The phases of this model comprise of Conception, Initiation, Analysis, System Design, Construction, Testing, Implementation, and maintenance.<\/p>\n<h6><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Waterfall_Methodology\"><\/span><b>Benefits of Waterfall Methodology:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\n<p>\u2022 Easy to use and manage, this software development model follows a sequential pattern that is similar for all projects. The project team doesn&#8217;t need any training or experience to work with this model as they can work on it directly.<br \/>\n\u2022 Phases must be completed one by one without any overlapping. As the model is rigid, hence each phase has precise deliverables and a review process.<br \/>\n\u2022 Documentation is required in every phase as it results in easily understanding the logic for the coding and testing process.<br \/>\n\u2022 This model works best for small size projects with the well-defined and clear requirement. This way it gets easy to deliver the project timely.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">How <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Singapore?src=hash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">#Singapore<\/a> Tops New List Of Best <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Startup?src=hash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">#Startup<\/a> Cities<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/RaO1MZt6Wj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/t.co\/RaO1MZt6Wj<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0IyfEDlEn4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/0IyfEDlEn4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 OctalInfoSolutionSG (@octalsg) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/octalsg\/status\/905041703710597120\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">September 5, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h6><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><b>Conclusion:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h6>\n<p>When you have to decide the best methodology that suits your startup between the Scrum and Waterfall, consider various factors such as the scope, size, amendment and many other criteria along with the budget of the project.<br \/>\nIn the case of the waterfall model, you cannot go back and make any change, as it gets highly expensive for big-sized and complex projects. However, if you have a project small in size with clear requirements, then you can go for the waterfall model.<br \/>\nWith the Scrum model, it can be amended when required as there are no limitations. But due to this, it becomes uncertain to define project deadlines.
