Analyze predictive SDLC versus adaptive SDLC. Ascertain at least two advantages and two disadvantages of each approach. Provide a rationale for your response.

According to (Satzinger, Jackson & Burd, 2015), predictive SDLC is an approach that assumes the project can be planned in advance and that the new information system can be developed according to the plan.

Two advantages of predictive SDLC

· the project objectives are clearly defined and understood

· it allows measuring the progress of system

Two disadvantages of predictive SDLC

· it is time consuming, as all the planning need to be outlined before starting project.

· It does not have enough room for iteration.

Adaptive SDLC is an approach that assumes the project must be more flexible and adapt to changing needs as the project progresses. (Satzinger, Jackson & Burd, 2015)

Two advantages of Adaptive SDLC

· Focused on the end users, which can lead to better and more intuitive products.

· Allows for on-time and even early delivery.

Two disadvantages of adaptive SDLC

· Demands extensive user involvement, which can be difficult to facilitate.

· Integrates testing into every stage, which can add to a project’s costs.There are two discussions here that need to be responded to thoroughly. Responses must be on APA format 150+words 1-2 legitimate verifiable sources per response.
