The two most popular SDLC methodologies of the last few decades are arguably Waterfall and Agile.  Therefore, we have plenty of examples of projects run via one or the other.  Likewise, it is valuable for us to review each of these and examine where each may be a good fit.  In this presentation, we examine both and then compare and contrast them.

Waterfall and Agile Deep Dive

The source of this presentation is a Bootcamp class that we re-purposed for the mentor sessions.  Thus, we start from scratch and build up to a comparison of these two popular approaches.  It may surprise you that there are strong and valid arguments for and against each methodology.

The Mentor-Mastermind Group

This series comes from our mentoring/mastermind classes.  These classes are virtual meetings that focus on how to improve our technical skills and build our businesses.  The goals of each member vary.  However, this diversity makes for great discussions and a ton of educational value every time we meet.  We hope you enjoy viewing this series as much as we enjoy creating it.  As always, this may not be all new to you, but we hope it helps you be a better developer.  Drop us a line to find out when the next one is so you can join our group.
