For most IT companies, the first thing to be discussed before starting a project is whether to follow the Waterfall or Agile method of software development. The two methods come with their own unique benefits and drawbacks and therefore contribute differently towards the output created. Here, we aim to differentiate between the two to help you choose better.
Waterfall Method
The waterfall method is a traditional, linear approach to software development which follows a documented sequence of steps:
A waterfall method project follows the above sequence in steps without going back and forth.

Agile Method
Agile in an iterative method of software development which involves a tight feedback loop for rapid application development. Agile deviates from a document-based approach to that of a collaboration-based approach to software development. Instead of tasks, “sprints” are created while developing software using Agile. Each sprint usually lasts for a few weeks and a list of deliverables are completed within that time and sent to the client for review. An end-of-sprint demo is conducted for clients after which the work is determined for the next sprint.
