4) Some of the adaptive approaches to developing systems (like agile) are becoming more popular. Are they better or more appropriate than prescriptive approaches in most cases? Why or why not?

Adaptive approaches to developing systems like Agile are better because these popular approaches provide more freedom than a prescriptive approach. Important attributes of this approach are that projects are more mission driven and component based.

  1. Well according to some sources, there's a debate on whether or not agile is better or not. It seems to depend on the situation. Here's a link to an article I read.

  2. In some cases I would suspect adaptive approaches would work better, they have more freedom like you said and work would be done quicker.

  3. There is always going to be a debate over agile approaches. But, agile seems to be more geared towards project managers who make changes frequently.
