Comparative Analysis of Waterfall and Agile Approach to Organisation in the Star Model Context

Abstract

This article presents a comparative analysis of agile in relation to traditional approaches in the organisation of software systems development, shows the differences through the elements of the organisational system (strategy, structure, processes, values, human resources, reward system, etc.) using the STAR organisation model. Further, the goal is to present theoretical views in the context of a project that aims to establish an identity and data access management system. Our empirical insights come from the development team task management in the Jira software solution for supporting software development. The result of the research is presented in the form of a comparative analysis based on the search for optimal software development method approach during an identity management project. This paper can contribute to deciding in which situations teams can consider to apply Waterfall, and in which agile approaches for the development of software systems.
