Summary:Software development initially used traditional methodologies which have been in the mainstream until the advent of agile methodologies. It is often thought that as traditional methods would be eventually replaced by new methods, it still remains the closest link to a naturally progressive route although the mind-set wants to get rid of the old and get in with the new. But it is not the replacement that is the variable to control. It has to be a dynamic approach which marries the two which is a hybrid methodology where a combination of the old and the new coexist. Interestingly a new strategy also seems to surface which looks at synergies and past pace scenarios, all within the realm of successful software project deliveries. The views and accepted norms from previous research papers are analysed with discussions provided on whether to discourage or encourage the practitioner from a perspective based on what works with and when a certain amount of caveat is imposed.
