In this paper, Rapid Application Development (RAD) and the Agile Development Method (ADM) are compared and contrasted. The paper begins with a summary of each of the articles referenced on the title page, including the pros (benefits) and cons (risks) of each method. The paper then addresses how the two methods might be applied to my company, Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC), an enterprise software solutions provider headquartered in Needham, MA, with about 6,000 employees in over 70 offices

1.0 Development Approaches 1.1 Rapid Application Development Rapid application development is an approach that is designed to develop software and systems in which changes are expected to be made throughout the lifecycle of the approach. The RAD approach uses less time on planning and emphasizes more resources on an interactive process in rapid prototyping. The RAD methodology consists of four phases’ analysis, design, construction and implementation. The four phases are processed through a chain

Agile Methodologies & Rapid Application Development: A Comparison Agile Methodologies & Rapid Application Development look to improve the SDLC by using a framework and requirements to complete projects. The paths that both AM and RAD take to get to the finish line can differ immensely, which can ultimately lead to varying results. Agile Methodologies Matharu, Mishra, Singh, & Upadhyay (2015, p. 1) state that, “agile methods are characterized by shorter development cycles, higher customer interaction

specifications are documented in detail which will lay the foundation of that software development cycle. This requirement documentation defines what the software will do and how it will do it and will also come in handy when there are future developments. Since all the specification documents are prepared early on and presented to the customers and developments team, any design changes that need to be made are captured in the early stages of the lifecycle which minimizes effort and time later during

Prototyping. • Rapid Application Development. Waterfall model The waterfall model consists of five phases such as requirements, Design, implementation, verification and maintenance. The method is a sequential design process where progress is seen as flowing downwards in a steadily manner, each development phase has its own distinct goals. The model is similar to water flowing down a cliff it can only flow in one way and cannot go back up it is the same with waterfall development ,after a development phase

Joint Application Development and Rapid Application Development Zetao Hou 10629435 Saint Joseph’s University Abstract This paper discuss what Joint Application Development and Rapid Application Development are respectively. And then compare the differences and similarities between two methods. For last part, talks about Joint Application Development is more valuable in Ipsos in China marketing research company. Joint Application Development Joint

for the systems development life cycle model is the most popular version. Often considered classic approach to life cycle of systems development , linear and sequential waterfall model describes the development system. Waterfall development objectives are different for each stage of a development .Imagine a waterfall on the cliff of an alp. Water has flowed over the edge of a steep mountain side and has started walking down , it cannot turn back. It is same as the waterfall development. Once a phase

structured approaches: Traditional structured development methods are process-oriented, focusing primarily on modeling the processes. It specifies the processes or transformations that occur within each module and the interfaces that exist between them. 4. What are the alternative methods for building information systems? • Define the traditional systems life cycle. The life cycle methodology is a phased approach to building a system, dividing systems development into formal stages. Describe each of

INCREMENTAL MODEL. This model involves continues user feedback and interactions resulting in a product that is much closer to user expectations. The development is built up from an initial Prototype that is continuously being developed and tested. The requirements of the incremental model is divided into various builds where multiple development cycles take place. This creates a “multi-waterfall” cycle and the cycles are divided up into smaller, more easily managed modules. Each module passes
